"TSA agents have been working at the nation's airports without being paid. Numerous agents who cannot afford to forgo their paychecks have been calling out, leaving travelers mired in hours-long security lines."

Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the Senate for the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which has left TSA agents unpaid and causing significant delays at airports.
