Republicans have not agreed to all of the proposals, leaving DHS funding in limbo. RELATED STORY | Congress is set to leave town without funding DHS, making a partial government shutdown all but certainOther federal agencies have already been funded, meaning only agencies within DHS would be affected until Congress reaches an agreement. DHS oversees numerous agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard. According to testimony before a House subcommittee, thousands of DHS employees would be required to work without pay when the shutdown begins. A shutdown lasting more than a few days would result in missed pay for approximately 56,000 active-duty, reserve and civilian Coast Guard personnel.

The memo comes ahead of a vote Tuesday evening on a resolution pressing Vice President Mike Pence to mobilize the Cabinet and invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. Joshua Roberts/ReutersCurrently, visitors and staff are screened when they enter the Capitol building, but members of Congress are not. There are already metal detectors in place for visitors to the House galleries, which had been shuttered since March because of the pandemic. Some Republicans, most notably Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo. have been outspoken about carrying weapons around the Capitol. Capitol Police install a metal detector at the doors of the House of Representatives Chamber, Jan. 12, 2021, in Washington, DC.

Hours after refusing to apologize for a racist video posted to his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump hadn’t let go. “The president felt he could’ve handled that matter privately,” a senior Trump administration official told CNN of Scott. “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. Just before noon, the White House said a staffer had erroneously posted the video and it was deleted. Senator Britt has a 100% voting record with President Trump and remains one of his strongest allies in the Senate.

Gavin Newsom and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were among the high-profile Democrats looking to counter President Donald Trump at the Munich Security Conference this week as they outlined their foreign policy visions and what could come next. Countering TrumpIn an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt, Newsom warned of the damage Trump has caused with traditional US allies.

Last year, Newsom traveled to Brazil for COP 30, an international climate conference to which the Trump administration declined to send an official delegation.

There is perhaps no greater sign of the coal industry’s decline than the Trump administration’s demand this week that the Pentagon purchase more energy generated by the fossil fuel. Washington has already forced multiple coal plants to remain open beyond their scheduled retirements, trampling local control over energy projects and driving up electricity prices. A little more than two decades ago, coal generated most of the country’s electricity. Non-carbon energy sources such as solar and wind, which together already eclipse coal’s output, have also cut into the business. It is telling that despite these economic forces, no new coal plants have been under development for more than a decade.

U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns issued an order that required the return of 19-year-old Babson College freshman Any Lucia Lopez Belloza by the end of February. AdvertisementStearns said he had hoped the Trump administration would come up with a solution after it acknowledged mistakenly deporting Lopez Belloza. The federal agency said she entered the U.S. in 2014 and that the removal order was issued by an immigration judge the following year. But Lopez Belloza said her previous attorney told her there had been no removal order. Lopez Belloza, who has no criminal history, was detained at Boston’s airport Nov. 20 as she prepared to fly home to Texas for the holiday.

(CNN) — Ring, the Amazon-owned video doorbell company, has canceled its partnership with technology firm Flock Safety, the company said Thursday. Josh Thomas, chief communications officer of Flock, told CNN that ending the partnership was “a mutual decision.”Like Flock, Ring has long combatted criticisms related to its relationship with law enforcement. Last month, a viral post on X falsely claimed ICE could access Ring cameras. Ring’s Community Requests featureSince the partnership never went into effect, no Ring videos were shared with Flock, the company said. Federal agencies including ICE cannot directly access Flock cameras, systems or its data, the company said on its website.

Ilia Malinin fell apart in the men’s free skate, tumbling from near lock to win the gold medal to eighth place after a disastrous performance Friday. Although he clinched the gold medal in the team competition with a clutch free program, he also put two hands down on a jump. Malinin dominated the short program, giving himself a five-point lead going into Friday’s free program. Malinin debuted the historic skill four years ago, soon after he was left off the 2022 Olympic team at age 17. He finished second at the U.S. championships but was skipped over for the Olympic team in favor of more internationally experienced competitors.

I wanted to be a journalist in college, but I kept crying when I listened to NPR, so I chose comedy instead. Originally from North Carolina, Gabe, who played drums, moved to Los Angeles just a year prior with his two musician brothers. Soon after, my sister told me she had seen Gabe on a dating app. My sister told me he was on Hinge. When I think of foregoing a baby for a comedy career, I think: What career?

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos denied claims Thursday that he has blocked evidence from the FBI, thereby slowing the investigation into the suspected kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie. Crime: New Surveillance Images Show Masked, Armed Subject In Nancy Guthrie DisappearanceDoor-cam images emerged of an armed masked person with gloves at Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson-area home, and authorities have recently discovered gloves in the area that they hope are tied to the alleged abduction. “Actually the FBI just wanted to send the one or two they found by the crime scene, closest to it – mile, mile and a half,” he told KVOA. Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has not been seen since the night of Jan. 31. People gather in a prayer vigil for Nancy Guthrie at the entrance of her residence on Thursday.

One side will eventually have to cave, and the popularity of proposed changes to immigration enforcement will have a major impact on which side “wins.” Meanwhile, people will soon see impacts on their air travel, emergency response services and, to some extent, immigration enforcement. The Trump administration and Republicans point to numbers that show Americans want undocumented immigrants to be deported. Preventing racial profilingRepublicans have argued that recent Supreme Court rulings have allowed immigration enforcement to target people based on how they look or what language they speak. Richard Tsong-Taatarii/The Minnesota Star Tribune/Getty ImagesDemocrats are pushing to create a new system for accountability for immigration enforcement. Likewise, the Quinnipiac poll showed Americans said 61%-25% that the administration hadn’t given an honest account of Pretti’s killing.

Kennedy was sworn in as the nation’s top health official one year ago, following contentious confirmation hearings in the Senate. Brad Smith, who served as a top health official in the first Trump administration, had privately assessed HHS’s operations in recent weeks and recommended staffing changes, according to two people. That work helped boost their standing at the White House, according to three of the people. “They’ve had plenty of victories,” said a White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel changes. They accused Kennedy of “weaponizing public health for political gain” and “putting millions of American lives at risk” by purging health officials from government.
