A bipartisan funding deal has been reached to avoid a government shutdown, the top Senate Democrat announced, and Senate GOP leaders are taking steps to try to schedule a vote for Thursday night. The deal, according to Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, includes a two-week stopgap funding extension for the Department of Homeland Security that Democrats had requested. The two-week extension to DHS funding is the time frame that Senate Democrats had been pushing for and shorter than what the White House had initially offered. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, however, argued Congress would need at least two weeks procedurally to renegotiate, consider and pass a new DHS funding bill. Seven conservatives had joined all Democrats to block the broader funding package from moving forward.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – Liam Conejo Ramos, the pre-school student who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is in poor health now, according to his school’s superintendent. Zena Stenvik, the superintendent for Ramos’ Columbia Heights public school district, told HuffPost that she spoke to the 5-year-old’s mother on Tuesday. Ramos’ mother addressed his deteriorating health earlier this week: “Liam is getting sick because the food they receive is not of good quality,” she told MPR News on Monday. Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, are being held at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas. “His dad said he hasn’t been himself and he’s been sleeping a lot, because he’s been depressed and sad,” said Castro.

So you have all of these ideas floating around about: We’re past the world of the Cold War, we’re past, the world of the Berlin Wall. And we’re now in a new world where it is going to be possible to rebuild politics around market competition. Instead, you just focus on being the most competitive market that you absolutely can be. And we see this entire plumbing for this new global economy becoming established. And the United States, which actually has been doing this in a much quieter and perhaps less threatening way to many countries, at least for decades, is, in fact, the country that is pushing this the hardest.

San José Mayor Matt Mahan announced he is running for California governor Thursday, pitching himself as a pragmatic Democrat who would prioritize state residents’ quality of life over the principled progressivism that has become entrenched in California politics — including on crime, homelessness, housing and affordability. “I have not heard the field embrace the kinds of solutions that I don’t think we need, I know we need, as the mayor of the largest city in Northern California,” Mahan said. “Matt Mahan is a person of integrity who has made great progress on housing in San José, cost of living, and public safety,” Khanna said in a statement to The Times. Mahan also pushed through a plan in San José to arrest people on the street who repeatedly decline offers of shelter, which some progressives lambasted as inhumane. AdvertisementAssemblymember Alex Lee (D-San José), chair of the Legislative Progressive Caucus, said he also would prefer Mahan focus on San José, especially given the “very big year” ahead as the region hosts several major sporting events.

The Games will be one of the most complex security operations Italy has had to manage, with the event split between two main hubs, Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, with additional events held elsewhere across the north. The U.S. delegation will be led by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In that vein, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday that several federal agencies, including ICE, would help protect the visiting Americans, as they have at past Olympics. The U.S. delegation will be led by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, pictured, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Emanuele Ingria, a human resources worker from Milan, told Reuters he was “very worried” by the prospect of ICE agents operating in Italy.
