Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, March 23, 2026

Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, Association of Professional Flight Attendants, International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 135, and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers: "The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has billions of dollars in discretionary funding that could be used to pay TSOs during this partial shutdown, just like they have chosen to continue paying active duty members of the U.S. Coast Guard. The administration has also continued to pay ICE and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents. Instead of paying TSOs, they have chosen to create havoc in our airports. This latest threat of ICE invasion at the airports is another distraction from solutions that protect Americans."

ZERO Republican Senators voted to fund TSA. This is the seventh time Republicans have blocked pay for TSA. Seven. Times. They would rather hold TSA hostage to try to force billions more for an unrestrained, out of control ICE. Despicable.

Project 2025 calls for TSA to be privatized.

Republicans are following orders to funnel more taxpayer dollars into to bank accounts of billionaires.

Fund the DHS. This shouldn't even be controversial. Even the Dem sycophants in the MSM are starting to call out Dems for this BS.

The flight attendants should strike if they're serious.

DeFund the DHS. It should be completely dismantled. It has become a Frankenstein monster. This shouldn't even be controversial.

Trump was offered an off-ramp to the DHS shutdown but he didn't take it. Maybe next time!
