President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats struck a deal to avert a prolonged shutdown for most of the federal government, according to the president and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s office, according to NBC.

The agreement will fund all of the government except for the Department of Homeland Security through next September. DHS will operate on a short-term funding bill for two weeks while lawmakers negotiate changes after public outrage over the Minneapolis shootings, sources said. 

“If Republicans don’t do s— for two weeks, DHS shuts down and there’s little incentive for us to reopen without the guardrails on ICE,” said one Democratic aide.

The Senate is aiming to vote today. The House, which returns to Washington on Monday, would then need to pass the legislation and send it to Trump’s desk for his signature. 

Until the deal is finalized by both chambers, funding will temporarily lapse for multiple agencies starting tomorrow. The impact is expected to be minimal since most federal employees don’t work on the weekend.

Trump plans to nominate Kevin Warsh to the board of the Federal Reserve as a governor and the next chair of the central bank. If confirmed by the Senate, Warsh would succeed Jerome Powell, whose tenure as chair ends in May.

Trump announced the nomination in a post on social media Friday morning.

For most of its existence, the Fed has operated largely free from interference or pressure from the White House. Trump, however, has rejected that model. Ever since his first term in office, he has looked for new and increasingly heavy-handed ways to pressure Fed governors to vote for lower interest rates, which he believes will fuel the U.S. economy. 

The nomination comes at a fraught moment for the economy, with the U.S. labor market slowing since the summer and inflation remaining stubbornly high.

Tulsi Gabbard under scrutiny for showing up at FBI raid of Georgia election hub

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has been on the sidelines for much of Trump’s second term. But there she was on Wednesday, at an election center in Fulton County, Georgia, as FBI agents conducted a raid seeking ballots from the 2020 presidential election.

Gabbard’s presence baffled national security experts and raised questions about whether she is seeking new relevancy in the eyes of a president who had soured on her. Accompanying FBI agents on a raid is also unprecedented for the chief of U.S. intelligence, whose job is to track threats from foreign adversaries. Gabbard is prohibited by law from taking part in domestic law enforcement. 

Fulton County has long been a focal point of unfounded fraud claims from Trump and his allies. And election officials across the country are warning that the administration’s combative approach is making their jobs harder and undermining Americans’ faith in the electoral process.
