Thousands of federal workers are going without pay here in the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos as a result of the Schumer Shutdown, including TSA agents and air traffic controllers. That's why I voted for a clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution to fund the government, and it's why I'm co-leading legislation to pay all of our federal employees and servicemembers who continue to work without pay. It's time for Senate Democrats to end this shutdown and give these employees the pay they've earned.

Flight delays, flight cancellations, long TSA lines, and air traffic controllers aren’t receiving their well-earned paychecks. You can blame CHUCK SCHUMER for all of this. Chuck Schumer and the Democrats own this shutdown. Greta Van Susteren NEWSMAX

"44% of flight delays Sunday and 24% Monday were due to Air Traffic Control staffing issues, compared to 5% of delays overall so far this year." No pay for TSA and air traffic controllers. Long wait times and delays for travelers—all because Democrats shut down the government.

The Schumer Shutdown stretches on, and we are now seeing flight delays across the country as 14,000 air traffic controllers pay the price. Chuck, reopen the government and stop using their paychecks as leverage.

60,000 federal aviation safety employees – including air traffic controllers and TSA officers – have gone unpaid since the Schumer Shutdown began. This includes the hardworking individuals here at the Duluth International Airport. Democrats need to reopen the government NOW and give these Minnesotans the pay they have earned.

Democrats have TSA agents "feeling like pawns right now" due to their government shutdown — working without pay as the holiday season approaches. They can end this shutdown today if they want.

Yesterday 46% of flight delays were due to staffing issues in air traffic control towers. This is UNACCEPTABLE! Karoline Leavitt is right: It is only going to get worse the longer the shutdown goes and the holiday travel season approaches. Democrats need to END THE SHUTDOWN and pay our controllers. The American people deserve better!

.Tom Cotton said it best. Democrats need to come to their senses, reopen the government and PUT AMERICANS FIRST! Our dedicated air traffic controllers shouldn’t be worrying about their next paycheck and travelers across this country shouldn’t have to worry about delays and cancellations because of the SCHUMER-JEFFRIES Shutdown.

The Democrats’ DHS shutdown is impacting TSA agents at airports large and small across the country — including at the Lewiston Nez-Perc Regional Airport in Idaho. TSA officers there have been forced by the Democrats to work without pay for the THIRD time in six months, and the airport has had to set up a food drive just to help these agents get by.

Travelers are "bracing for delays" amid the government shutdown as "completely distracted" air traffic controllers have now missed their first full paycheck. Democrats voted a dozen times to keep the government shut down. They caused all of this — and it needs to end.

It’s been 16 days. Chuck Schumer’s disgraceful shutdown has hurt our border patrol agents, our air traffic controllers, TSA, and members of our military. It’s time for Democrats to put Americans first and reopen the government.

TRAVEL NIGHTMARE. The American People are paying the price for the Democrats’ DHS shutdown. Across the country, travelers are facing HOURS long wait times at airports and our TSA officers are being forced to work without pay. Democrats must END the shutdown, fund DHS, and pay our TSA agents.
