Of course, here in the real world, there's no actual reason for airport security funding to have anything to do with immigration police funding. Congress could come together and easily fix this problem. Lawmakers could delink the two by simply separating TSA funding from ICE funding — either by putting the former in the Transportation Department appropriations bill or by suspending procedural rules so that we fund airport security while everyone still fights about ICE.

The MAGA gop and Trump own the TSA mess. It’s not the Dems he refuse to fund TSA. It’s the Repugs who refuse. It’s called blackmail any place else in society. And they are just adult bullies. No different than the bully who stole your lunch money. #pinks #fundTSA #defundICE #dysfunctionalgovernance
