You can get on a plane with no photo ID if you’re insistent and produce lots of non photo ID like credit cards. I did it flying from Philly to SF in 2011 and was surprised at the relative ease.
Suspect it might come down to the TSA on duty at the time

Maybe have your passport overnighted to you by someone with access to it?

You don’t need a thing. Show up an hour earlier than you usually would. Tell TSA. They will ask you some questions and call homeland security. You will answer a few basic identifying questions over phone and you’re all set.

I think I did something like this once and solved it but uselessly I don’t remember how. Maybe try calling the airline?
Good luck with that! United made my wife cry last night. Horrible experience. Never again. I really feel bad this company is a US company. Very low standards
You can get in without ID, but give yourself extra time. TSA will call some mysterious number and ask you a series of questions about your history until they're convinced you are who you claim to be. It's actually really creepy.

"We'd love to help, Ms. Aella, but is there any way you could first prove your identity?"
[Sigh] "Fine. A man's beloved dog runs outside, gets hit by a car, and dies. The man mourns this greatly..."
