US Senate Approves $70bn for Trump Immigration Crackdown

The United States Senate has approved a $70 billion funding plan backing President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration crackdown, advancing a major boost for federal enforcement agencies. The roughly $70bn bill will finance US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol for three years, covering the remainder of Trump’s presidency until January 2029, if it is approved by the House of Representatives and signed into law. Senators voted along largely party lines after weeks of internal Republican wrangling and clashes with Democrats over the scope of enforcement powers and conditions on how the money will be spent. The proposal could ultimately authorise tens of billions of dollars more over several years when related enforcement operations are included. The measure comes out of a broader effort to restore full funding to the Department of Homeland Security, which has faced partial […]

Iran fires missiles at Israel as US Republicans block bid to halt air war

Iran has launched a new wave of missiles at Israel, sending air raid sirens blaring and forcing millions of people into bomb shelters as the war entered its sixth day. The overnight barrage targeted sites across Israel and also triggered defensive action from nearby countries, including Turkey, where a missile was intercepted before entering its airspace. At the same time, Republican senators in Washington blocked a resolution that sought to halt the United States air campaign against Iran and require fresh congressional approval for any further military action. The war powers measure failed by 53 votes to 47, largely along party lines, leaving President Donald Trump with broad freedom to continue directing US strikes in support of Israel. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz that Washington would stand firmly behind Israel’s operations, saying the United […]

US Senate to vote on curbing Trump’s Venezuela moves

The United States Senate is set to vote on a resolution that would block President Donald Trump from launching further military action in Venezuela without explicit approval from Congress.​The measure, introduced under the War Powers Act, follows the US special forces operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and has raised fears of wider conflict.​ The resolution is sponsored by Democratic Senator Tim Kaine and Republican Senator Rand Paul, reflecting rare bipartisan concern over presidential war powers.​Supporters argue that the Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the authority to declare war and that lawmakers must reassert that role after the raid in Venezuela.​ Republican leaders have so far blocked similar efforts, and it is unclear whether enough members of Trump’s party will back the latest resolution for it to pass.​Even if approved in the Senate, the measure would face tough […]

Trump calls on Senate to end filibuster as US government shutdown nears record length

United States President Donald Trump has urged Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster rule to end a federal government shutdown that has stretched into its fifth week. In a post on his Truth Social account on Thursday, Trump blasted Democrats as “Crazed Lunatics” and called on his party to use the so-called “Nuclear Option” to bypass the Senate’s 60-vote requirement. “It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD’ and go for what is called the Nuclear Option – get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it NOW!” he wrote. “We are in power, and if we did what we should be doing, it would immediately end this ridiculous, country-destroying shutdown.” The filibuster is a long-standing Senate procedure that allows lawmakers to block or delay legislation by prolonging debate. Ending a filibuster requires a supermajority […]

Schumer warns of shutdown fight with Trump, GOP

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is signaling a tougher stance in the latest government funding battle, warning that Democrats are prepared to block a stopgap measure unless Republicans roll back some of their most controversial policies. Back in March, Schumer voted to keep the government open and convinced enough Democrats to do the same, a decision that sparked backlash from the left. This time, however, he says circumstances are different. President Donald Trump and GOP leaders need at least seven Senate Democrats to break a filibuster and avoid a shutdown after September 30. Republicans have put forward a clean funding extension through November 21, including $30 million to boost lawmaker security. But Schumer and his colleagues argue that Trump’s Medicaid cuts, efforts to weaken Congress’ spending authority, and the looming expiration of Obamacare subsidies for 22 million Americans demand a […]
