House Speaker Mike Johnson escalated the political tension Thursday, urging Senate Democrats to act immediately on a clean funding resolution while warning that continued obstruction would carry heavy consequences. As the shutdown stretches into its second week, discontent is brewing within Republican ranks, casting doubt on GOP unity and the path forward. Johnson declared the shutdown “entirely avoidable,” reiterating that Republicans have already passed stopgap spending bills without policy add-ons. He faulted Democrats for refusing to bring those measures to a Senate floor vote, saying their resistance reflects a desire to bundle major agenda items—especially on health care—into must-pass appropriation…

Newly surfaced federal records reveal that much of the money Rep. Cori Bush touted as “billions delivered” to her district actually came from defense contracts and DOJ grants—not from legislation she led.

But official documents show that sum includes nearly $49 million from Department of Defense research programs—funding she repeatedly voted against—and over $6 million in DOJ grants for law enforcement, among other federal contracts. Critics say the discrepancy raises questions…
