Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders was spotted in a first class seat as he fled DC for a two-week Easter recess.
TMZ obtained a photo of Bernie Sanders living large in First Class while he forces Americans to go without pay.
The Senate very early Friday morning, after a marathon session, unanimously approved a voice-vote package to fund the Department of Homeland Security, except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and key parts of Customs and Border Protection.
Democrats flat-out refused to support full funding without gutting immigration raids and deportation operations.
Instead of fighting for the full funding, Thune and the Senate GOP folded in the dead of night, when no one was watching.
Thune then left town with a private escort. He was able to skip the long TSA security lines while Americans miss flights.
It appears Senate Majority Leader Thune is getting a private escort leaving Ronald Reagan Airport for Easter vacation
without passing the SAVE America Act.
By the way, FISA Section 702 expires on April 20th.

President Trump on Friday signed an executive order authorizing pay for TSA agents amid the Schumer shutdown.
Trump said he will sign an order instructing DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin to pay TSA agents.
“The Radical Left Democrats, and their “Leader,” Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, have made it very clear where they stand, and that is, ON THE SIDE OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
“They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again. They almost destroyed our Country, allowing 25 Million People to enter from Prisons, Mental Institutions, and Insane Asylums, those that are Drug Dealers, and thousands of Murderers, many of whom killed more than one person. Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do!” Trump said.
“Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it! I want to thank our hardworking TSA Agents and also, ICE, for the incredible help they have given us at the Airports. I will not allow the Radical Left Democrats to hold our Country hostage any longer. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said on Thursday afternoon,” Trump added.
President Trump on Friday signed the order authorizing pay for TSA agents. The agents will begin receiving paychecks on Monday.
