Summary

This week on Face the Nation, continued conflicting messages out of the White House when it comes to the war against Iran and why Americans are increasingly bearing the brunt of Washington's actions, or inactions. It's a spectacular spring in the nation's capital, but Congress has fled the city after showing they're incapable of consensus when it comes to funding the Homeland Security department.   President Trump says he'll use other means to pay TSA officers until an agreement is reached, but will that be enough to ease the long security lines at some of the country's busiest airports while the House and Senate are out of town for the next two weeks? We'll address the challenges to DHS with White House Border Czar Tom Homan, plus we'll talk with the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee Jim Himes. Then, we’ll check in with former Surgeon General Jerome Adams, about the alarming spread of measles and the impact of social media on children.
