Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will temporarily pay TSA agents
“after a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security stalled in Congress.”
DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullins says workers should begin receiving paychecks Monday. House Republicans rejected a Senate passed bill to fund most of the agency because it wouldn't have funded ICE and Border Patrol Democrats like House Minority Leader Hakeen Jeffery say they won't support funding those departments without changes to immigration enforcement.
Immigration enforcement should focus on violent felons who are in this country illegally, not target law abiding immigrant families or brutalize and in some cases kill American citizens. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson called the Senate bill the most reckless thing we've ever seen. This gambit that was done last night is a joke.
I'm quite convinced that it can't be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill.
“Johnson says the House will instead vote tonight on a resolution to fund DHS at current levels”

On his first day in office, President Trump issued mass partants to the people charged
or convicted for the role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those who violently assaulted police. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch celebrated that decision at the conservative political action conference. If you look at what happened to the men and women convicted because of January 6, every
one of them was either pardoned or had their sentence committed.
“So when folks say you've done nothing, I say you have a very short memory.”
Polls indicate that a majority of Americans oppose the parties and dozens of former defendants have since been charged with new crimes. Tom Drysbock and PR News. Crewed oil prices rose today to $107 per barrel. Again, those prices have been on a roller coaster since the war with Iran began as NPR's
Camilla Domenoski reports that's a consequence of profound uncertainty. Global oil trades are massively disrupted, but how catastrophic it is for the world economy depends on how long the straight of her moves remains mostly closed. Ed crux is with the Consolency Wood McKenzie traders are trying to look at this very binary outcome of continued closure, a much higher price, a reopened straight, a much lower price.
Every shred of evidence for a long disruption sends prices up, while every hinted in your term resolution pushes prices down, and the result is a volatile price, somewhere in the middle of the two extremes, Camilla Domenoski and PR News.

impacted by the ongoing war in Iran, Michael Coloki has more. The International Airport in Kenya's captoon aerobie is the hub of the country's flower exports, however, visibly there is less activity in the warehouses where flowers are processed for transportation. According to the Kenya Flower Council, the country's flower sector has experienced losses
