DHS Funding StallsSen. Ron Johnson used Sunday Morning Futures to push for full funding of the Department of Homeland Security, including the Secret Service, as the Senate remained stuck in a budget fight. Maria Bartiromo said the Secret Service had gone 71 days without full funding because Democrats were pressing for changes to the president's immigration crackdown. Johnson said the delay is more than a routine spending dispute. He framed it as a public safety issue at a time when security concerns are already high after the shooting discussed on the program.Johnson Wants a Fast VoteJohnson said he agrees with President Trump that the Senate should end the filibuster so DHS funding can move without more delays. He called the current stall "obnoxious obstruction" and said the chamber should hold a vote right away. In his view, seven Democratic senators could help break the deadlock, and he named John Fetterman as one lawmaker who might be willing to cross the aisle.

In Westminster, that is not usually treated as a small clerical error, even if the political class often acts like it was a coffee stain on a receipt. The Privileges Committee, the same body that helped bring down Boris Johnson, would be the likely next stop if MPs back the referral. The issue now is less about procedure and more about whether Labour can keep enough members in line to protect its leader from a formal probe.https://twitter.com/Inevitablewest/status/2048836628337078313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/ArchRose90/status/2048518766573580303?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/GBNEWS/status/2048835008794611997?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Labour’s defense looks very familiarStarmer told Labour MPs the vote was a political stunt timed to hurt the government before local elections. That line is standard issue from modern politics, right up there with “we welcome scrutiny” and “mistakes were made.” According to reporting cited by the BBC and the Telegraph, cabinet ministers have been calling Labour MPs to shore up support, while No 10 has issued a three-line whip to keep…
