| Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson is seeking a new nickname: Shutdown Mike.
According to multiple news reports, House Republicans are attempting to extend the DHS shutdown that is causing increased airport delays and TSA workers to go without pay for weeks.
After the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan bill to fund TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA and other agencies in DHS (something House Democrats have offered for weeks), Mike Johnson wants to hurt everyday Americans ahead of Spring Break, Passover, and Easter travel.
DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“House Republicans are actively trying to keep the government shutdown longer, hurting American travelers and forcing federal workers to go without pay. Disgraceful.”
