If you want to quickly prove citizenship, a passport is what you need.
Yes, but there's no general requirement for a US citizen to have a passport, let alone carry it while in the US. Or really to carry any identification unless operating a motor vehicle on public roads, transiting an airport, or purchasing controlled substances like sudafed, etc.
The burden should be on DHS to disprove citizenship.
didn't DHS make a proclamation a few months ago stating that no form of identification is sufficient to prevent detention from an ICE agent. the information displayed using a DHS app on their phone is the only proof of citizenship

404 media covered this and the app itself turned out to be pretty janky when it came to identifying actual legal status correctly
"... transiting an airport ..."
You are not required to carry ID when transiting an airport for domestic flights.
It will be difficult and annoying but you can fly domestically without ID.
