Maryland Dems Support Unpaid Airport Workers Amid Shutdown Crisis

Maryland Democrats support unpaid TSA agents and air traffic controllers during government shutdown, urging end to budget stalemate affecting 250,000 federal workers.

Government shutdowns directly impact public safety and economic stability, as essential workers like TSA agents and air traffic controllers continue critical security operations without pay. This situation threatens airport safety nationwide while causing financial hardship for hundreds of thousands of federal employees and their families. The political impasse undermines confidence in government's ability to function and highlights how partisan gridlock can disrupt essential services that millions of Americans depend on daily for travel, commerce, and national security.
