The House Rules Committee advanced a measure Friday evening that would fund the entirety of the Homeland Security Department through May 22 — without setting up debate or a separate vote on the funding bill itself. The panel, after a raucous meeting that devolved into shouting at multiple points, voted 8-4 on party lines to advance the measure to the floor. The rule includes a “deem and pass” provision, a tactic that allows legislation to be passed by the House automatically once the rule itself is adopted. While there will be one hour of floor debate and a vote on…

President Donald Trump has had “enough” of Democrats and Republicans negotiating Department of Homeland Security funding and the SAVE America Act as he calls for the termination of the filibuster. Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday morning to call for the GOP to end the filibuster, stressing that Democrats will nuke it as soon as they have the opportunity. “When is ‘enough, enough’ for our Republican Senators,” the president asked. “There comes a time when you must do what should have been done a long time ago, and something which the Lunatic Democrats will do on day one, if…
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is considering a bid for president in 2028, as Republicans jockey for the future of the GOP post-Trump. In a “CBS Sunday Morning” interview airing Sunday, a reporter asked Paul about an article that implied he would be running for president. “We’re thinking about it,” Paul said. “I would say fifty-fifty,” adding that he would make a final decision after the midterm elections. Paul ran for the Republican nomination for president in 2016 with a libertarianism-focused campaign but ultimately dropped out after a poor performance in the Iowa caucuses and a shortage of cash.
