Donald Trump’s threat last night to sign an executive order to pay TSA workers was perhaps a sign of where things were heading. “If the White House believes it has the authority to pay these workers, then every day for 41 days it has made a conscious decision not to pay them,” House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) said last night, which was about right.
Overnight, as Emine Yücel reports, the Senate followed suit, approving a Democratic bill to fund all of DHS except ICE and CBP. This notably means funding the TSA, thus ceding the Republicans’ only lever, airport chaos (a dubious lever, of course).
