        I have to say, I was very nervous about flying over the Holidays, yet the TSA workers were still working their asses off. I felt so sad for them! #trumpshutdown

        “Calling out sick”? Isn’t it “calling in sick” or “staying out sick”?

        It is disgraceful that ppl charged with keeping our planes safe arent being paid...stupid and shortsighted....@realDonaldTrump grow up, open the gov and then negotiate a REASONABLE border security plan.

        Some people may be getting sick because they can't pay for their medicine. Trump has no idea what it's like to live payback to paycheck. How do you pay for childcare without income? You still need gas in your car or bus fare to get to work.

        Forcing federal employees to work for no pay should, in my opinion, be considered a violation of the 13th Amendment barring involuntary servitude.

        I am sorry for the TSA crew. You do a outstanding job and should be compensated. @realDonaldTrump you are hurting the ones who work hard for us.

        I don't blame them. Trump expects everyone to show him undying loyalty. Wrong. They may very possibly contracted the flu or one of the hundreds of bugs floating around.
