There is no clear path right now to avoid a government shutdown at 12:00:01 a.m. ET Saturday. However, circumstances often accelerate matters just before a deadline on Capitol Hill.With Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., opposing the GOP plan, Republicans need at least eight Democrats to help break a filibuster on the House-passed bill. SENATE REPUBLICANS COIN ‘SCHUMER SHUTDOWN’ AHEAD OF CRITICAL VOTE ON TRUMP SPENDING BILLSenate Republicans could then approve the bill on their own with a simple majority. Senate Democrats are pushing their own, monthlong spending package. However, if the Senate OKs that, the House and Senate are out of sync. The House is now out of session for a week and a half. Democrats are really torn. They do not want to support the GOP plan. They also want to make this battle a hill to die on to fight back against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. ‘BIG WIN’: TRUMP TOUTS FEDERAL FUNDING BILL PASSAGE IN THE HOUSEHowever, they fear Musk could try to shutter more programs and agencies if the government shuts down. At this stage, it is hard to see how the fight does not bleed into Friday, if not Friday night before the deadline. [...] Read More

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Wednesday that his party would oppose the spending bill that Republicans drafted and passed through the House, as the Friday midnight deadline looms for Congress to take action to avoid a government shutdown. "Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort. But Republicans chose a partisan path, drafting their Continuing Resolution without any input from Congressional Democrats," Schumer wrote on X, echoing comments he made on the Senate floor. "Because of that, Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to pass the House CR," he wrote. "Our caucus is unified on a clean 30-day CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass. We should vote on that." Schumer called for a one-month spending bill to keep the government open until April 11 so that Democrats can better negotiate a deal. The continuing resolution, which passed through the House Tuesday on a nearly party-line vote of 217-213, would keep the government open for the next six months, for the rest of the fiscal year which ends Sept. 30.TRUMP CRITICIZES SCHUMER, SAYS DEM LEADER 'HAS BECOME A PALESTINIAN'The minority leader addressed the Senate floor after a [...] Read More
FIRST ON FOX: Grassroots parental rights advocacy group Parents Defending Education (PDE) is urging the Trump administration to reverse "unconstitutional" Biden-era policies that penalize schools for racial disparities in discipline, as outlined in a Dear Colleague letter issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Education (DOE) in 2023. The Biden-era document pushes schools "to adopt racially discriminatory discipline policies" or face the loss of federal funding, according to PDE."Despite clear Supreme Court precedent holding that disparate impact alone cannot support a Title VI violation, the School Discipline Letter states that racial disparities in school discipline outcomes are prima facie evidence of racial discrimination, even when a school’s disciplinary code is race neutral," the group wrote to the Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Thursday morning. "Moreover, the letter threatens school districts with the loss of federal funds if they do not adjust their procedures to eliminate such disparities."Biden's DOJ and the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights released the guide in 2023 for schools to address racial discrimination in K-12 student discipline.OHIO COLLEGE 'ILLEGALLY FORCING STUDENTS' TO SHARE BATHROOMS WITH OPPOSITE SEX: WATCHDOG"Discrimination in school discipline can have devastating long-term consequences on students and their [...] Read More
President Donald Trump is continuing to push for a "gold card" visa that would allow foreign nationals to buy their way into the U.S., replacing a controversial visa scheme that has been dogged for years by concerns about potential abuse by China.Trump again touted his plan for the gold card, which would allow people to buy a pathway to citizenship for $5 million, on "Sunday Morning Futures.""I believe that Apple and all these companies that can't get people to come out of college and come because they get thrown out, I think of it, you graduate number one at the Wharton School of Finance or Harvard or Stanford, and you get thrown out of the country. You can't stay more than one day. And they want to hire these people, but they can't. They've complained to me about it. Now they can buy a gold card, and they can take that gold card and make it a part of their deal to get these top students," Trump said on Sunday."You're going to have a lot of companies buying gold cards. So for $5 million now, it's a lot of money when you add it up, if we sell a lot of them," he said, later describing [...] Read More
Country star Warren Zeiders never planned to become a singer, but a series of college lacrosse injuries took him down an unexpected path to success.Zeiders grew up in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where he enrolled in a lacrosse program around the fourth grade."The biggest thing about me is that I have this thing about me: If I care about something and if I invest myself fully into it, nothing will stop me," he told Fox News Digital.

Republicans have identified Georgia’s U.S. Senate election in 2026 as an opportunity to widen their margin over Democrats in the U.S. Senate. After Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's announcement that she will not seek re-election in New Hampshire, all eyes are on Georgia’s Senate race."Every battleground state — Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire and Minnesota – is in play, and we play to win," Nick Puglia, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) regional press secretary, said in a statement to Fox News Digital after Shaheen’s announcement Wednesday. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., the first-term senator who helped secure a Democratic majority in 2021, is one of the only Democratic senators up for re-election in a state President Donald Trump won in 2024. Trump won battleground Georgia by just over two percentage points in 2024. "Jon Ossoff is a Democrat with extreme and reckless policies," Puglia added. "Ossoff wants biological males to be allowed to compete in women’s sports, took a backseat after the tragic murder of Laken Riley and is too weak to stand up to pro-Hamas radicals in his party. Georgians deserve better." LONGTIME DEMOCRATIC SEN. JEANNE SHAHEEN NOT SEEKING RE-ELECTION IN 2026 IN KEY NORTHEASTERN SWING STATEOssoff's office did not reply to Fox News Digital's [...] Read More
