House Democrats Divide Over $1.2 Trillion Funding Bill Ahead of Floor Vote

Senior House Democrats are split on a $1.2 trillion funding package heading to the floor, with Rosa DeLauro signaling support to secure five full-year bills and a 10-day DHS stopgap, while Jim McGovern opposes due to immigration-enforcement concerns. Neither leader is expected to vote for the rule, and Republicans face pressure to attach the SAVE Act, which could prolong the shutdown. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to pass the package Tuesday, as a newly sworn-in Christian Menefee gives Republicans a slim 218-214 edge.

Democrats threaten impeachment if Trump refuses to fire Kristi Noem

House Democrats led by Hakeem Jeffries warned President Trump they will begin impeachment proceedings unless he fires Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, as support for impeaching Noem grows within the caucus; Judiciary ally Jamie Raskin pledges oversight and potential hearings, but with Republicans in control of the House and no clear Senate backing, conviction remains unlikely.

Democrats curb ICE funding as immigration stance shifts after last year’s split

Democrats blocked new ICE funding in a Department of Homeland Security bill—only seven Democrats voted for it—marking a sharp shift from last year’s pro-enforcement stance; several Democrats opposed due to ICE conduct following the Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good, while others supported the bill for remaining DHS functions and guardrails. The bill passed 220-207 and included provisions like fewer detention beds and oversight, signaling a broader recalibration of the party’s immigration stance amid public concern and polling that ICE enforcement is too aggressive.

Democrats push impeachment over Noem as centrists warn of distraction

House Democrats, led by Rep. Robin Kelly, introduced three articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with around 70 Democrats signing on and more expected to co-sponsor. The move is seen by some centrists as a serious impeachment bid, while others warn it could distract from policy priorities like affordability and immigration policy. With Republicans controlling the House and a Senate likely to block conviction, the effort faces long odds.

Robin Kelly leading the charge and several battleground and centrist members among the sponsors, and more sign-ons possible before the formal unveiling.
