Senate Republicans just blocked my bill that would have paid TSA workers.
My Republican colleagues are saying that if you don't give the President's overgrown paramilitary force of masked agents more money, they're going to leave TSA workers and others unpaid.
I think that's patently unfair.

UPDATE: For the seventh time, Republicans voted to block TSA agents, FEMA personnel, & other federal employees from getting their paychecks.
My Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act would send any big windfall for Big Oil back to the hardworking people who paid for it at the gas pump.
Trump is cheering on giant oil companies as they exploit world events to reel in massive profits. He couldn’t care less that you and your family are paying the price.
Americans are getting squeezed at the gas pump as Trump’s War in Iran sends gas prices soaring and money flowing to his Big Oil donors.
This week, @khanna.house.gov and I reintroduced a bill to curb this profiteering and provide relief to consumers.
The MAGA system for intimidating judges.
“Blocking permits for new clean energy keeps cheap supply off the system,” which forces grid to high-cost fossil units, revenue to Trump donors. Scam.
Methane polluters should be held to account. Instead, Republicans help them pollute. Fossil fuel money corrupts America.
Republicans don’t want to fund TSA.
Fossil fuel flunkies go into panic mode over obvious fact that their energy is dangerous, polluting, and whacks consumers with huge price hikes.
Polluters, and freeloaders too — to the tune of a trillion dollars. How much political corruption protects that grift?
Trump. Russia. Epstein.
The Trump administration not appealing the decision throwing out its “stop work” order is a good sign for permitting reform progress, as wild swings in oil prices remind us that inexpensive, homemade electrons that do not depend on foreign cartel pricing are a national security win.
Getting rid of dark money would be one good start. Paying their damned taxes would be another. We can do both. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Is Epstein’s in-house accountant covering something up for Trump? These depositions are under oath. The Trump accuser’s lawyer disclosed to @postandcourier.bsky.social that she did indeed receive a settlement from Epstein’s estate, of which Mr. Kahn is both executor and beneficiary.
They should keep an eye out for side deals and “kompromat” that would explain the Trump Administration persistently favoring the corrupt murdering tyrant Putin.
