  • House conservative demands stall efforts to avert shutdown
  • “Anything I vote for has to secure our border."

    Didn't Republicans kill a border bill like a month ago? And now they're making border demands on a spending bill that has nothing to do with the border?

He says he’s been told both the US government and other governments have been engaged in a “publicly unknown Cold War” to try to reverse-engineer technology from these craft.
