The record has now been set. Forty-six days. The longest partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security in American history — longer than any of us had reason to expect, and longer than the country had reason to endure. TSA workers have gone without full paychecks. Airport lines have swelled. And Washington, as it so often does, found new
President Trump is weighing a dramatic move — compelling Congress to return early from recess to resolve the funding crisis at the Department of Homeland Security. “It’s something that’s under consideration,” he told The New York Post, with a characteristic aside that he might let lawmakers have their Easter first.

President Trump said Monday that a deal with Iran was “probably” within reach — then made clear, with characteristic precision, what happens if it isn’t. “The United States of America is in serious discussions with a new, and more reasonable, regime,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, threading optimism with menace in the way only he can.

There is a war in the Middle East, and it is three weeks old. On Monday, President Trump announced a pause — five days, no strikes on Iranian power plants or energy infrastructure — contingent, he said, on the progress of ongoing negotiations. “I am pleased to report,” the President wrote, “that the United States of America, and the country

Democrat Rep. Jared Huffman (CA) accused the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) of politically weaponizing religion by “rebuking” Democrats who support abortion, and the congressman suggested that these Catholic churches should
