TSA Pay Dispute Escalates as Shutdown Continues

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt urged Congress to end their recess to fund DHS.
DHS has lacked funding since Feb 14, causing TSA officers to work without pay and 500 resignations.
Trump directed DHS to use funds with a 'reasonable and logical nexus' to TSA for payroll.
TSA paychecks started Monday, but funding source remains unclear.
Congress is on Easter and Passover recess, with Trump offering an Easter dinner if they return.
