Republicans split on partial shutdown solution as lawmakers leave for 2-week recess
President Trump used funds from a prior legislative package to resume TSA pay and address airport security delays amid ongoing congressional funding disputes.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing Transportation Security Administration paychecks to resume, aiming to ease long security lines at major airports nationwide.
- The funding lapse will surpass the record 43-day shutdown on Sunday as House and Senate leaders remain deadlocked over competing Department of Homeland Security funding plans.
- Nearly 500 TSA officers have reportedly quit since the partial shutdown began, while officials say training new hires requires between four and six months.
- DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said paychecks will start flowing as early as Monday, though thousands of other federal employees still face continued delays during the standoff.
- Lawmakers left town for a two-week recess after Friday's developments, departing with no clear strategy to reconcile the competing House and Senate funding proposals.
