On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) discussed the DHS shutdown and said that funding the agency piecemeal and using it as leverage “is not a best practice. You can see that on display. It’s terrible.” Underwood said, “Well, on the Appropriations Committee, we certainly try to make sure that agencies have the resources that they need to execute their missions on behalf of the American people.

Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to lead the Department of Homeland Security, saying he would oppose any nominee unwilling to dismantle Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which he called a “secret police force.” Appearing on The Bulwark Podcast with host Tim Miller, Talarico was asked directly, “Would you vote against Markwayne Mullin for a cabinet position?” He responded, “I would be a no on any potential secretary who is not willing to tear down this secret police force and replace it with an agency that’s actually…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday the war with Iran could pave the way for new oil and gas routes across the Arabian Peninsula to Israel’s Mediterranean ports, allowing global energy flows to bypass Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz and other vulnerable maritime chokepoints. Answering questions at an English-language news conference as the war entered its 20th day, Netanyahu said Israel and the United States are pursuing “achievable goals” in close coordination, expressing confidence that once those objectives are secured, the region can shift toward more secure and reliable energy pathways. “It is vital to have alternative…
Jerome Powell, Please Go Now! Welcome back to Friday! This is the Breitbart Business Digest’s weekly foray into the seven-day period now rapidly heading to its expiration. Under no circumstances will the week that was be permitted to become the week pro temporare if next week isn’t confirmed on time.

The Fed also had a meeting and issued a new set of economic projections that were basically ignored by everyone but us. Oil got…
