Washington is locked in yet another high-stakes standoff, and this time the consequences are hitting Americans where it hurts most—at the airport.
As the Department of Homeland Security shutdown drags deep into its sixth week, House Speaker Mike Johnson is turning up the pressure on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his Democratic colleagues.

The House is set to take action again, signaling that GOP leadership is done waiting.
Republicans are moving forward with two separate measures designed to break the deadlock and put public attention squarely on Democratic resistance. The first is a renewed vote to fund DHS through the end of the fiscal year.

Mainstream Media and The View are hateful and lie.
