Republicans take first step toward funding ICE without Democrats’ help Republicans devised a time-consuming, two-pronged approach to reopen the Department of Homeland Security and end the longest partial government shutdown in history.

Republicans took a first step early Thursday morning toward funding ICE and Border Patrol for the rest of President Trump’s term using a novel approach that will allow them to fund the agencies without Democrats’ help.

Here’s how:

HUGE BECERRA NEWS: Highest fundraising day of the campaign so far 👉🏽 $350K+ raised.

More than 7,500 Californians chipped in today. 80% were new donors.

The Becerra momentum is real 🔥

If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.

$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.

What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

States are cutting their way to higher electricity bills Cutting efficiency programs saves money on this month's bill — and raises costs for the next decade.

There is no better way to lower your energy costs than investing in energy efficiency. And therefore no more foolish strategy to lower energy bills than to cut EE programs. And here we are. www.latitudemedia.com/news/states-...

Deadlock over. The EU just cleared way for the €90-billion-loan for Ukraine and the 20th sanctions package.

Russia’s war economy is under growing strain, while Ukraine is getting a major boost.

We will provide Ukraine what it needs to hold its ground, until Putin understands his war leads nowhere.

It's all just overtly blatant.

With their grifting there are NO COINCIDENCES.

With tariffs, Trump is winging it. What if Kamala Harris did that? No one would tolerate it. We should ask ourselves why.

19. I wrote this piece this time last year. It's still timely. There will be enormous pressure among Democrats to not say SHE TOLD YOU SO. But we should say it. SHE TOLD YOU SO.
