Project 2025: Dismantle the TSA Break it. Privatize it. Profit. It's all part of their fascist takeover.

They told us this was the plan. It’s right here in Project 2025, pages 158–159.

This regime did the same thing to the USPS during Trump’s first term—slowed down mail, removed high-volume sorting machines, blocked overtime—and now they’re doing it to the TSA.

Break the system, then privatize it so their corrupt allies can profit. Who pays the price? The American people.

Congress had the chance to fund TSA seven times—and didn’t. According to sources, Senator John Thune (R-SD) and Trump went rounds on the subject. Meanwhile, ICE agents are being paid nearly twice as much as TSA agents to work at airports.

That’s not cost-cutting. It’s about weakening TSA and expanding ICE’s role. We should all be asking why.

BTW we can spend a billion dollars a day w/our unneeded war on Iran and Trump can piss
away millions of dollars per golf outing @ his golf clubs where he can make money on the
back end by charging the Secret Service for rooms and golf cart rentals but TSA agents haven’t
been paid since February?

Is that because it's a pdf?

I'd like to share on Nextdoor.

Never mind. Was reading the pdf pg #s and not the true page numbers. Got it.

They are really good at the destruction.

Too bad they don't use the same energy for governing.
