The latest Democrat shutdown of DHS is reckless, unnecessary, and harms the men and women of DHS and their families. The men and women of TSA are keeping this country moving and secure despite financial hardship. Call your member of congress and tell them to open @DHSGov and get these men and women paid.

I hope my Democrat colleagues will finally decide to come to the table and bring their second shutdown in under six months to a close. https://t.co/i3CuHmCOL0
