Government Shutdown

A DHS funding impasse stretched TSA lines past four hours at major U.S. airports. Working families paid the price. Congress hasn't passed all its appropriations bills on time since 1997, and you're the one arriving at 4 a.m.

The Senate funded DHS but left TSA workers in limbo. What looks like a budget fight is actually a test of whether Congress still controls the border, or whether it's outsourced that job to bureaucratic inertia.
