The chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, Josh McKnight, argues that Sen. Jon Ossoff is posturing, not governing, regarding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which includes TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard, and cybersecurity functions Americans rely on daily. Approximately 120,000 DHS employees, including about 50,000 TSA officers, have been working without pay as part of the partial shutdown. McKnight argues that when the busiest airport in the world breaks down under strain, Georgia feels it first. Ossoeff's defenders will try to change the subject by claiming Democrats support funding some parts of DHS, but not all of it.
