Show Notes
Pressure mounts on Senate Majority Leader John Thune as a record partial shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security continues. Republicans, including President Trump, criticize Thunes handling of a late-night funding bill and his resistance to rule changes for key election reforms. The Senate unanimously approved funding for most Homeland Security agencies, excluding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. House Republicans, such as Representative Tim Burchett and Nancy Mace, have expressed dissatisfaction with Thunes leadership. Trump urges Thune to scrap the filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act, which includes proof of citizenship for voter registration, nationwide photo IDs, and mail-in ballot restrictions. With Congress on a two-week break, Thune remains silent as tensions escalate.
