President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to urge roughly 61,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers to keep showing up to their posts — even as they went without their first full paycheque amid a partial government shutdown that has now stretched close to a month. In the post, Trump acknowledged that TSA agents are 'going to work but not being paid,' before directing them to clock in regardless.

'They want your money to go to "Border Criminals, Murderers, foreign Drug Dealers, and some of the worst people on earth." They don't want it to go to you,' Trump wrote on Truth Social, blaming 'Radical Left Democrats' for the funding deadlock. 'Keep fighting for the USA. GO TO WORK! I promise that I will never forget you!!!'
