The House has been taking a recess for the past two months, while getting paid. Air traffic controllers typically work 6 day weeks with mandated overtime. AND THEY ARE NOT GETTING PAID.
Sean Duffy threatens "action" against air traffic controllers who didn't come to work during the shutdown: "I'm concerned about their patriotism."

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
