And it was totally unnecessary. Meanwhile Democrats in Congress (besides Omar) seem to be doing quite well financially.

They certainly struggle to pass funding for DHS despite their majorities.

Can't blame them for bailing...

I don't work for free. They shouldn't be expected to either.

Oh, do you guys now care about DHS personnel quitting because politicians made their jobs miserable?

Because that’s quite the turnaround from when you were cheering on DOGE’s obliteration of large parts of that workforce. The engineers I know who left that environment were doing something more substantial than the obtrusive security theater that TSA specializes in.

There's a lot of waste, inefficiency, and abuse of power in the federal government that needs to be addressed. Cutting off funds to Homeland Security threatened our national security, and cutting TSA employees slowed the economy.

The engineers to whom I referred worked at DHS.

The Republican Party is the party of the working man?
Yet keep the working man from getting paid.
How’s that work?

Fund them separately, that way we can keep better track of the money that we’re sooo concerned about.
Why’s that “bad”?

ICE was already well funded for years. This is about the Democrats going after our workers and our economy. The goal is to damage the successes of the Trump administration.

They want men (and women) to work in order to receive their healthcare benefits. Does that count?

It's Day 1 of Medicaid work requirements in Nebraska. People are worried
