Bennie Thompson: “The recently-introduced FEMA Equity Act (H.R. 7668/S. 4159) from Chairman Bennie Thompson and Senator Elizabeth Warren”

At a time when DHS is rightly warning about an elevated threat environment from terrorists and cartels, we should be focused on plugging security gaps rather than senselessly creating new ones.

Whether it's the Capitol on January 6 or Los Angeles this weekend, it's clear Trump is totally fine with lighting the match to stoke violence if he thinks it'll help him politically.

It should go without saying that administration officials should not be using Signal for discussing intelligence matters reserved for the situation room — not to mention doing so incompetently by including members of the public.

There you have it. House Republicans have an hour to debate a nonbinding symbolic resolution but not even a few seconds to do the job that would actually pay our DHS workers. This is the Republican DHS shutdown.
