End of the DHS Shutdown? 

After more than six weeks of closure, Republicans in the House and Senate agreed on a plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security. The proposal does not include funding for ICE or Border Patrol through September, nor does it incorporate the immigration enforcement reforms sought by Democrats. Republican hardliners oppose the deal. A vote is expected today. What does this new framework mean? What political maneuvers can be expected in September?

The Quagmire of the War in Iran. Amid a sharp surge in gas prices, escalating bombing campaigns and widespread disapproval of the war in Iran, President Trump delivered an urgent televised address to the nation, seeking to calm public anxiety and promising that the conflict would soon come to an end, but he didn’t say when.

The Mega Marches. More than 8 million people took to the streets across the country in a new wave of “No Kings” protests, challenging deportation policies, the war in Iran, the economy, and other issues. In Fresno, where thousands gathered, many said they marched on behalf of those who are too afraid to do so. Several participants share their perspectives and emotions.
