The House GOP moved to further extend the DHS shutdown by rejecting a Senate bill that would fund the vast majority of DHS agencies through September.

Instead, Mike Johnson proposed a temporary extension of DHS funding — a plan that has uncertain prospects.

NEW: House Speaker Mike Johnson has flatly rejected the Senate's bill to fund all parts of the Department of Homeland Security except for ICE, announcing that House Republicans instead will plow ahead with an alternative.

I’m now judging all teams by their postgame interview. Utah State might knock off Arizona.

[Jason Walker @jwalker_sports]

Utah State's attendance and ticket revenue is an issue I'm sure they're looking into, but in my opinion, it has little to do with anything that is supposedly wrong with Utah State. I think a lot of it is out of their control.

Of all the Mountain West teams, Utah State has the third-lowest population within a 50-mile radius of its city (roughly 670,000). USU also has two major in-state rivals that draw more interest, and while other MW schools have similar issues (namely SDSU, Fresno State, SJSU), there's a much larger population base for those schools to draw on for attendance.

But Utah State still manages to draw in the third-highest percent of adjacent population among MW teams. So, much like in many other ways, the Aggies are punching above their weight class.

And while Logan/Cache Valley is growing, a lot of that is out-of-state, meaning no ties to Utah State. So it's a game of making sure the university connects with people moving in.

All that said, there's no need to be expanding stadium/arena capacity for any of Utah State's sports. Renovations? That's fine, and those can even induce attendance a little bit. But don't waste millions trying to add capacity for a crowd that largely just isn't there.

Crockett: When it comes to SNAP benefits, rural America uses more SNAP benefits than urban America. The majority of my Republican colleagues serve rural districts. When I say I’m fighting for a bill that includes making sure that people in this country don’t go hungry.. I’m not just fighting for my constituents, I’m fighting for yours too

Reporter: We’ve heard a lot about Democrats supporting defund the police. The Republican Study Committee budget cuts the federal grant program that local departments use to hire officers. How is that not proposing to defund the police?

Johnson: I haven’t looked into the details of the budget. They also plus up other areas

BREAKING

Liz Cheney slams Speaker Mike Johnson for showing up to Trump's hush-money trial in Manhattan today:

"Have to admit I’m surprised that Speaker Johnson wants to be in the 'I cheated on my wife with a porn star' club. I guess he’s not that concerned with teaching morality to our young people after all."

Lol Republicans never seem to be prepared for Rep. Joe Neguse. Just brutal how they keep walking into these situations.

Fox host: What's wrong with Congress? Why can't you secure the border?

Republicans keep bringing up bills about freedom for refrigerators and liberty for laundry—all while trying to take freedom and liberty away from America’s woman.

Apparently they think home appliances deserve more rights than people.

Kristi Noem crashes and burns this morning on Newsmax 👇

NEWSMAX HOST ROB FINNERTY: If you asked me a month ago who's at the top of the list to run with Donald Trump, I would've said your name. If you asked me that same question this morning, I don't even think you're on the list.

NOEM: Really? And why is that?

FINNERTY: It's because of things that came out in this book, like your claims that you met Kim Jong Un.

NOEM: I've been to the DMZ.

FINNERTY: Governor, that never happened, did it?

NOEM: What I have said in the book is that when I became aware of the content, we had it changed. I should not have put that anecdote in the book. I am not going to talk about my meetings.
