#TSA screeners would remain on the job #withoutPay, many of whom called in sick as a #protest after a previous #shutdown dragged on for wks, sparking nationwide #travel delays.

It would also leave #Congress w/few alternate paths to fund the govt. A likely last resort would have been another #stopgap resolution to preserve existing #funding, potentially triggering #cuts to #defense spending.

The #legislation’s passage in the #Senate is not in doubt — it has the support of President #Biden (cuz it’s better than nothing), Senate Majority Leader Chuck #Schumer & Minority Leader Mitch #McConnell. But a single senator can throw up procedural roadblocks & push the govt past the #shutdown deadline….

…>½ of #IRS employees would face furloughs at the height of #tax filing season. #Border Patrol officers & about 1.3M active-duty #military #service members would remain on the job #withoutPay.
