Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers are on the cusp of working without pay, and there is no backup plan in place to ensure they don’t miss a check. During the longest government shutdown in history last year, the White House was able to shift around funding from the GOP’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ to ensure that military service members were paid. But TSA workers won’t get the same treatment. Over 60,000 TSA workers are set to...

As one of Israel’s staunchest defenders from the left, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., full-throatedly endorsed President Donald Trump’s attacks on Iran as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle reacted Saturday morning. ‘President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region,’ Fetterman wrote on X. ‘God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.’ Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of Congress’ biggest backers of bold...
