Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) said that there shouldn’t be a DHS shutdown and responded to a question on if he views the Democratic approach on DHS funding any differently now by saying that “Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans came together unanimously with a strategy to fund everything but ICE. ICE already has 43 billion dollars. And so, we agree with that strategy.” Subramanyam said, “We shouldn’t be in this shutdown. The Senate passed a unanimous bill, and the House Republicans decided not to put it on the floor. It would pass if it was…

President Donald Trump’s allies in Congress want to quickly authorize completion of the White House ballroom after the Saturday shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. But it’s not going to be simple. Trump’s ambitious ballroom project was put on hold earlier this year after a federal judge said Congress needed to explicitly approve it. Responses from lawmakers were relatively muted at that time. Then over the weekend, Trump and several members of the presidential line of succession were sitting down to their salads at a Washington hotel when a gunman tried to storm past a security checkpoint. Now, what…

Some House Republicans spent weeks warning against a drastic redraw of Florida’s congressional map. Now that it’s out — with Gov. Ron DeSantis targeting as many as four Democratic seats for a GOP takeover — they’re mostly keeping any criticism to themselves. “I think they did a pretty good job,” said Rep. Gus Bilirakis, who said he was one of the Florida Republicans whose district changed “quite a bit.” “But I think they could touch it up a little bit, too,” he added. Rep. Scott Franklin said he is set to represent his third constituency in four terms. He still…

Rich McCormick (R-GA) addressed his vote in favor of extended TPS for Haitians and said that he thinks some Haitians, like those who came across the border illegally, should lose TPS, but “I’m asking for individual consideration of people who came here in good faith, who never broke the law, who are working, who are not a burden to our society.” And “you can’t lump everybody together in this rule. And, unfortunately, when Kristi Noem announced this, that’s exactly what she…

Will’s sudden renunciation of establishment orthodoxy after 50 years of support for mass migration was signaled with a single adjective in his April 24 column, as he lamented slow population growth under President Donald Trump’s low migration policy: There is one promising solution.
