Screenshot Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Monday once again rejected the proposed bill that would reopen the Department of Homeland Security without ICE funding. Since a string of high-profile killings at the hands of ICE agents, congressional Democrats have vowed not to pass any spending package that includes funding for the agency. This stalemate between Democrats and Republicans has led to DHS going without additional funding, and that lack of funding has hit TSA especially hard. Over the last few weeks, people traveling across the U.S. have experienced extremely long wait times at major airports, despite the GOP-led Senate passing a measure to fund TSA and DHS without fully funding ICE. On Monday, CNN’s Manu Raju asked Johnson why he won’t help get the bill passed in the House. At the time of writing, it had already passed in the Senate twice. “It has some problematic language because it was haphazardly drafted,” Johnson responded, “and so we’ve stated our objections about that very clearly.” New — Johnson rejects calls to pass Senate bill to reopen DHS. Bill has passed Senate twice and would reopen agencies like Secret Service, Coast Guard but not ICE and CBP. “It has some problematic language because it was haphazardly drafted,” he told me. Shutdown to drag on pic.twitter.com/DDplpfYGxt — Manu Raju (@mkraju) April 27, 2026 Asked if Johnson will “ever” put the bill on the House floor, he said, “We have a modified version that I think is going to be much better for both chambers. It doesn’t change. To the substance, but it makes sure that we’re not going to orphan two of the primary agencies of DHS. We have to make sure that immigration law is enforced and that the border is safe and secure. Democrats don’t want to have any part of that, so unfortunately, we have to do that on our own.”The post Mike Johnson Rejects Bill to Fully Fund DHS, Including the Secret Service, Without ICE first appeared on Mediaite.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) slammed criticism of his anti-Trump rhetoric following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting over the weekend, in which President Donald Trump was targeted. “I know you said you stand by your comments. At the same time, you have been the subject of threats as well, so with respect to this comment about “maximum warfare” — even if it’s about redistricting — why not tone down the language here in this moment?” Jeffries was asked at a Capitol Hill presser. Jeffries replied, “I think that what’s interesting to me, as you pointed out… The so-called White House press secretary, who’s a disgrace — she’s a stone-cold liar — had the nerve to stand up there and read talking points being critical of statements, all taken out of context, that Democrats have made, and didn’t have a word to say about anything that MAGA extremists have said or done, including providing aid and comfort to violent insurrectionists here at this Capitol on January 6, who brutally beat police officers.” He continued: The president then pardoned those violent rioters, many of whom have gone back into communities across the country to re-offend — and, as you pointed out, one of whom threatened to kill me. He said, “Kill the terrorists.” Where did that language come from? What Republicans use that language? Why did that pardoned MAGA extremist, that violent insurrectionist, choose to use the language of terrorism directed at me when he threatened to kill me at an event? And so how can we take them seriously when they raise these partisan attacks and completely ignore the fact that a lot of folks — including Governor Shapiro — his home was attacked by an arsonist when he and his kids and wife were there? And this so-called White House press secretary wants to lecture America and lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us about the language that we use.

Screenshot Fox News host Jimmy Failla was caught on a hot mic roasting lax security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday — before a gunman bolted past a security checkpoint and exchanged gunfire with authorities. Failla, a comedian who hosts the late-night show Fox News Saturday Night, handled live shots for the network and conducted red carpet interviews with attendees making their way to the ballroom. That feed, apparently unknown to Failla, also went out to Fox affiliates across the country. Video circulating on X picked up Failla’s candid comments about security, which is now under scrutiny for not being tight enough. Failla can be heard making the prescient comments, “Looks like they have like two random chicks holding the front door open. Like, guys, they’re not even trying anymore…I just mean, like, they’re not even Secret Service people. It’s like the girls who work here are holding the door. Even if it were the guy, that wouldn’t even make it better…Like, they might as well put a door stop in. They put up a door stop and a scarecrow, you know, f*ck with this guy.” Yikes!

That’s the thing that makes this so much more insane, is Trump had put his animosity aside with the people many people blame for the tension in our politics, the ones calling… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - California First Lady Rips Trump’s Attack On Norah O’Donnell: Shapes ‘How ...
Screenshot The first lady of California, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, railed against President Donald Trump for disrespecting CBS News correspondent Norah O’Donnell during Sunday’s 60 Minutes interview. Trump sat for the interview in the aftermath of Saturday night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that the Department of Justice has labeled an assassination attempt. O’Donnell read part of the gunman’s manifesto to Trump that said, “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” “Well, I was waiting for you to read that, because I knew you would. Because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump raged. “Yeah, he did write that. I am not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.” Trump went on to call O’Donnell a “disgrace” who “should be ashamed” for asking him about the writings of “some sick person.” Newsom wrote on X Monday, “My family and I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump and Norah O’Donnell last night, and we were shocked. Seeing a president speak to a woman journalist with that level of contempt — and a clear allergy to facts — is disturbing, though at this point not unexpected given his pattern of behavior.” “But that is the problem,” Newsom continued. “Because when that level of disrespect from the highest office in the country repeats itself, it starts to trickle down into our culture and define what power looks like, shaping how boys and plenty of men see women and girls and what they come to accept as normal behavior.” My family and I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump and Norah O’Donnell last night, and we were shocked.

(AP Photo/Annie Rice) A college football quarterback has checked into a treatment facility for gambling addiction after an investigation revealed he had placed thousands of bets. As noted in a report from ESPN, Texas Tech announced in a statement that starting QB Brendan Sorsby would enter the facility. At the time of the decision, the NCAA was actively investigating his betting activity. The ESPN report added: According to sources, Sorsby bet on Indiana football while redshirting for the Hoosiers as a true freshman in 2022, a season in which he played in a single game as a reserve. The bets in 2022, according to sources, were on Indiana to win and none came in a game in which Sorsby appeared. Sorsby’s gambling has not drawn the attention of law enforcement, according to sources, nor has he been linked to anyone attempting to influence the outcome of a game. Sorsby’s gambling, sources said, was a steady flurry of small bets over a period of time. Sorsby spent his first two years at the University of Indiana. He then transferred to the University of Cincinnati, where he started the last two seasons. Heading into his senior season at Texas Tech, Sorsby was projected to be one of the top picks of the 2027 NFL Draft. The NCAA has not yet announced any disciplinary action for him.The post Texas Tech QB Who Placed Thousands of Bets Has Checked Himself into Rehab for Gambling Addiction first appeared on Mediaite.
