there is no clear end in sight as Democrats and Republicans struggle to find common ground, leaving TSA workers and their families in distress. Airport delays are rising, and TSA employees are expected to show up for work without pay. Some have called in sick, while others have left their positions entirely. I commend those who continue to show up to serve communities across our Nation, despite the length of the line they face. Frustration is building among the hardworking people of eastern North Carolina who are rightfully demanding reasonable oversight of law enforcement and to pay our TSA workers. We must put aside all political differences and prioritize putting people first. Together, we can keep our Nation safe.
