Sean CastenAnd there it is. DHS and TSA aren't getting paid because Trump doesn't want to pay them, and Thune & Johnson are too afraid to act like the leaders of co-equal branch they claim to be to call the vote and force the question.

@SeanCasten They need to all stop showing up for work, since there's no guarantee they'll get back pay. I wouldn't trust that, and it's unfair. These folks deserve to get paid regularly as they work, and the opportunity to get different jobs if they can't trust the government.
Brian Nicar@kimlockhartga @SeanCasten Many of them have stopped showing up for work. Thus the insane lines and general disorder. Now there will be armed goofballs added to mix, who are also supposed to arrest any illegal on sight. I wonder how that will work or play out?
@wendigo @SeanCasten Not well. Not well.
This affects rich people at some point, doesn't it?
@kimlockhartga @SeanCasten Presumably, but who knows what scheme airlines will workout with Trump to insure well-heeled passengers don't miss their flight. Is there a loyalty card? ;>)
@wendigo @SeanCasten Ah. I know they discontinued the federal pre-check system, which saved me so much time. I don't really fly these days, tho. They have or had another system for frequent flyers to skip the longer line for security, by being pre-screened. I can't remember what it was. I think "Clear" like you are cleared for flight.
@kimlockhartga @SeanCasten I'll just tell them I know Jennifer Garner from the Capitol One Venture commercials... ;>)
