The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is set to officially end its one-month shutdown at midnight, with no clear sign of when it may end. Senate Democrats again blocked a measure to advance a House-approved bill to fund DHS, with all but centrist Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) voting against it. This is the fourth time Democrats have voted to block funding for DHS. The Senate remains at a standstill, with Democrats united in their demands for immigration enforcement reforms. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers are set to miss their first full paychecks on Friday. The number of unscheduled absences among airport security officers has more than doubled during the shutdown, and over 300 employees have left TSA entirely. The administration is facing pressure to manage oil pressures, with consumers facing two weeks of higher prices at gas pumps amid the U.S. operation against Iran.
