House Republicans had a bipartisan deal in front of them that would have paid TSA workers and ended the shutdown chaos.
They rejected it, passed a pointless 60-day CR they know will fail in the Senate, and skipped town for a two-week recess.

Let me get this straight: Republicans want to blow up the DHS deal (passed unanimously in the Senate) that would fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard, etc... so they can pump MORE money into ICE.
ICE is funded through the Big Ugly Bill! They're getting paid!
A 60-day CR is a non-starter. They know it.
Update from D.C.:
Overnight, the Senate passed a bill that would fund the vital parts of DHS, like TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, and cybersecurity professionals without handing ICE and CBP a blank check.
Now, the House needs to get this passed. We’ll see if Republicans can get out of their own way.
The damage being done by Trump and his enablers—to our military, to our alliances, to our reputation, and to our own national security—is incalculable.
AND they want another $200 billion of taxpayer money to keep this war going!
HELL NO!
Diverting military aid from Ukraine—a country that’s been under assault by Russia for 4 years—to an unpopular and disastrous war? Reckless doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Once again, their incompetence is on full display.
And who benefits? RUSSIA. The same country that’s feeding intel to Iran.
Our country is mired in a disastrous war, gas prices are through the roof, the cost of living continues to skyrocket, our health care system is falling apart, TSA officers and Coast Guardsmen STILL aren’t being paid… and this is what the Speaker is focused on?
These are not serious people.
I thought they didn’t believe in participation trophies?
That means passing the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would strengthen protections against pay discrimination and help ensure equal pay for equal work.
Same skills. Same effort. Same results. Women deserve the same pay.
#EqualPayDay #EqualPay
For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap has gotten WORSE.
Women who work full time now make 81¢ on the dollar compared to men—even in women-dominated fields.
My @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues and I are committed to advancing fairness, opportunity, and equality in the workplace.
The ICE agents Trump sent to airports? THEY'RE getting paid.
Meanwhile thousands of TSA workers are going without pay.
Democrats have a bill on the table RIGHT NOW that would pay TSA workers, fund FEMA, restore the Coast Guard and shore up cybersecurity.
Republicans refuse to come to the table.
The BLM has already lost thousands of workers because of DOGE. Pulling fire personnel will leave the agency operating at a fraction of its capacity—at the worst possible time.
Land management and fire management are inseparable. Severing that connection puts public lands + communities at real risk.
As the Ranking Member overseeing Interior’s funding, I have serious questions about where this money is coming from, whether it's consistent with existing appropriations law, and how we ensure real accountability for the American people.
Secretary Burgum should be prepared to answer them.
Spending $1 billion of taxpayer money to coerce a private company to abandon offshore wind projects is indefensible. Tying it to a commitment to pour more money into oil + gas development makes it even more outrageous.
The extent to which the Administration is beholden to Big Oil is truly alarming.
At the same time, Trump and Hegseth want another $200 billion for their reckless war.
They’re taking food away from kids and families while pouring more money into a war we shouldn't even be in.
This Administration’s priorities are completely backwards.
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill ripped nearly $200 billion out of SNAP. Families are already feeling it.
Schools in Maine count on SNAP data to help feed kids breakfast and lunch.
This video shows what these cuts really mean: emptier cupboards, more strain on schools, more kids at risk of going hungry.
I am proud to stand in solidarity with the 620+ Bath Marine Draftsmen’s Association members on strike at Bath Iron Works, fighting for fair wages, affordable health care, and retirement security.
There is no BIW without its skilled workforce.
Director Mueller’s life was defined by service to this country. That is the legacy he leaves behind.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to Director Mueller’s family, loved ones, and all those who worked alongside him in service to this country.
Trump's reaction to the passing of Robert Mueller was vile, mean-spirited, and beneath the office he holds.
This is a man who has never understood the meaning of service, sacrifice, or basic human decency.
While this kind of rhetoric has become familiar, that doesn't make it any less appalling.
A special shoutout to the teachers, families, and friends whose support has helped drive and inspire these talented artists.
Creativity without community is like a fire without oxygen. Thank you for giving life to these amazing creators!
All the more reason to FUND THE ARTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES!
I also want to congratulate the other finalists—Lila Abbott (2nd), Nina He (3rd), along with honorable mentions Jaidyn Stultz, Tryntje Johnson, and Jack Landry—for sharing their amazing work.
These young artists are truly gifted, and a testament to Maine’s creative spirit.
