Btw, I didn't mention this in the post, but here's my take on why he deployed ICE to the airports. ICE has taken a huge reputational hit in the last few months. I bet Trump sees this as an opportunity to rehabilitate their image in the eyes of the people, by having them "help" in the airports. If he's successful in this, he'll then move to double down on deploying them in even more cities afterwards.
The TSA play is real and it's uglier than you made it sound. 61,000 people working without pay since Valentine's Day. Agents selling plasma. Sleeping in cars. Thirty-five grand a year. And the holdup isn't some procedural disagreement, it's a voter ID bill the President told a room full of congressmen would "guarantee the midterms." His words. On the record. Not "protect election integrity." Guarantee the midterms.
Utah audited its entire voter roll. Two million names. Found one noncitizen registration and zero actual votes. Kansas tried the same proof-of-citizenship thing and blocked 31,000 real citizens to catch 39 bad registrations over twenty years. Thirty-nine. That's not a security measure, that's a paper shredder with a flag taped to it, and he's starving airport workers to get it through the Senate. You had that story right here and you buried it under a car payment stat and a subscription ask.

Waiting on the Biggest, Best stroke!
Defund the TSA! It’s time to abolish the TSA. The TSA increased government oversight at the expense of individual privacy and civil liberties.
the TSA represents an overreach of federal power and should defunded.
defund the TSA and restore constitutional rights, limit surveillance, and reduce government control in everyday life pre 9/11
Blackmail is all this is.
Ok tRump, see ya in the fall if I see ya at all.🖕
