Cornyn reconsiders Senate filibuster as he and Paxton stay in runoff race “I oppose any effort to eliminate or weaken the legislative filibuster,” Sen. John Cornyn said in January 2022. But now, Cornyn is open to some procedural changes. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/austin/news…

'We wind up having to walk away': Lawmakers try to address high cost of housing “Home ownership is part of the American dream, and we are seeing it get farther and farther out of reach for the average American right now,” said Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis. spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/n…

"My goal in 6 months is that we’re not in the lead story every single day." Sen. Mark Mullin called for significant changes to how Sec. Kristi Noem ran FEMA. A closer look at Mullin's confirmation to be DHS Secretary:

ONE ON ONE WITH @SenWarren: We started by discussing the massive Housing Package which cleared the #Senate. She was a co-sponsor w/ @SenatorTimScott. The sprawling legislation is mostly focused on boosting supply: "More is good. We need more housing in America..." (Part 1/5)

“Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” That’s what President Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center wrote today in his resignation letter. Joe Kent became the first administration official to step down in protest over the war.

"They have families to feed..." Saturday will mark one month since the partial government shutdown of DHS began. Analysts are warning of travel delays with TSA Agents being forced to work without getting paid. @SpectrumNewsDC

This was not the story I expected to tell when I was in rural NC last month for a unrelated reporting trip. But I'm sure glad I found it. One man's "addiction" is a treasure to visit. WATCH:

The @librarycongress’ Audio-Visual Conservation Center is home to the world’s largest public collection of films, television shows, radio broadcasts, and sound recordings. The work to preserve our history is done with the upmost care here — and we got a rare look inside to see what it takes to do so. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

“There is a light at the end of the tunnel there. It’s achievable.” ICYMI, advocates spoke with me about their push for Congress to bump research funding by 5% to work towards finding a cure for type 1 diabetes. @SpectrumNewsDC @SpectrumNews1WI spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/n…

“The issue of housing is not a Republican issue or a Democrat issue…” In overwhelmingly bipartisan vote - Senate passes the largest housing policy package in three decades. But this legislation could stumble in the House, where there's a competing bill. @SpectrumNewsDC

Scoop: During today’s Women’s History Month event at the White House, President Trump will give a shoutout to U.S. Olympic Bobsledder Kaillie Armbruster Humphries. Armbruster Humphries just won a bronze medal in Milan, and she is expected to deliver remarks at today’s event. A native of Canada, she now calls California home, and has competed in 2022 and 2026 for Team USA. She became a U.S. citizen in 2021. Photo courtesy of Team USA @SpecNews1SoCal @SpectrumNewsDC

I asked @RepKiley if he spoke with GOP leadership Friday before he announced he would run for re-election as an independent, and how he would approach getting committee assignments if re-elected next year. "I did not speak with party leadership or anyone associated with with either party in advance of that decision of re-registering," he said. He later added that he spoke with Speaker Johnson over the weekend about continuing to conference with the GOP to maintain his committee positions through the end of the term. @SpectrumNewsDC @SpecNews1SoCal

Kristi Noem is out as DHS Secretary. POTUS Taps Oklahoma Republican @SenMullin to replace her. It's the first shakeup of the president's cabinet since he returned to the White House last year. Democrat Response: "Good riddance." @SpectrumNewsDC

.@SpectrumNewsDC team asked @RepRonnyJackson if he agreed with House Leadership that @TonyGonzales4TX should withdraw from his reelection bid. Jackson said "All I care about is keeping our majority so that we can keep passing the president's agenda."

Kristi Noem's firing comes as FEMA still doesn't have a permanent leader. Republican Sen. Tillis tells me a leader should be named quickly and the FEMA Review Council's report should be made public. #ncpol @SpectrumNewsDC
