WATCH LIVE: TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA leaders testify on effects of partial government shutdown

TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA leaders are testifying before Congress on the impacts of the ongoing partial government shutdown. Tens of thousands of TSA officers have gone without paychecks since mid-February due to a congressional funding dispute over the Department of Homeland Security budget. The shutdown has created operational strain across three critical agencies responsible for transportation security, maritime safety, and disaster response. The testimony comes as another round of unpaid paychecks looms for federal workers in affected agencies. The hearing underscores the real-world consequences of the budget impasse on essential government services.
