Twenty-one Republicans broke with President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday evening in an attempt to derail a $1.2 trillion spending bill to end a government shutdown, citing concerns that the legislation didn’t do enough to advance GOP priorities.

Among a range of reasons, lawmakers argued the bill needed to include provisions shoring up election integrity, come with full-year funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and eliminate Democrat-requested earmarks.

The lawmakers that voted against the measure included:

Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., Eric Burlison, R-Mo., Kat Cammack, R-Fla., Eli Crane, R-Ariz., Byron Donalds, R-Fla., Randy Fine, R-Fla., Brandon Gill, R-Texas, Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Cory Mills, R-Fla., Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., Scott Perry, R-Pa., Chip Roy, R-Texas, David Schweikert, R-Ariz., Keith Self, R-Texas, Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., Greg Steube, R-Fla., and William Timmons, R-S.C.

TRUMP UNDERCUTS GOP PUSH TO ATTACH SAVE ACT TO SHUTDOWN BILL AS CONSERVATIVES THREATEN MUTINY

Thomas Massie, R-Ky., condemned what he saw as a failure to shore up election integrity with the exclusion of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — a bill requiring photo ID for registering voters looking to participate in federal elections.

“And most importantly… BLOCKED: the inclusion of the SAVE Act to protect our elections from illegal aliens — a top priority for conservatives,” Massie said in a long list of reasons he posted to X on why he had voted against the package.

Massie alongside other Republicans like Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., had called for Republicans to tie the SAVE Act into the 2026 funding bill.

He wasn’t the only Republican to vent frustrations online.

Other lawmakers voted against the bill because of a distrust that Democrats would negotiate in good faith over outstanding considerations to fund DHS.

“The fact that Chuck Schumer is able to somehow get Republicans to pass a version that includes all of their stuff — but only a two-week funding measure for Homeland Security, I think, is a fool’s bet,” Rep. Eric Burlison, R- Mo. said.

The bill, which now heads to the desk of President Donald Trump for his signature, includes funding for the departments of War, Education, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Health and Human Services.

Despite the opposition from the 21 Republicans, the bill passed by a bipartisan 217-214 vote.

Tuesday marks the second time the House of Representatives has considered this legislation.

The bill hit roadblocks after the House passed it for the first time in January, when Democrats in the Senate balked at its lack of safeguards for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the wake of two fatal confrontations in Minnesota between immigration enforcement and civilians.

Democrats across both chambers of Congress have demanded new restrictions on ICE’s operations, such as a prohibition against wearing masks, an elimination of ICE’s roaming patrols, body camera requirements, stronger warrant restrictions and visible law enforcement identification.

As a part of the package, lawmakers included a two-week extension to DHS funding, giving negotiators time to work through disagreements on provisions for ICE while avoiding a broader government shutdown.

Having passed that compromise bill, lawmakers have until the end of next week to hammer out an agreement on funding for DHS or else risk a lapse in its funding.

In addition to ICE, the DHS bill covers funding for the Coast Guard, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Lawmakers concerned about that funding also voted against the bill on Tuesday, expressing disappointment Republicans hadn’t used the moment to push for DHS fundng.

“I voted NO on the 5-bill minibus,” Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., said in a post to X on Tuesday.

“Republicans have the trifecta and we should fund DHS at Trump levels for strong border security,” Boebert said.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., blasted the bill for, in his view, not utilizing Republican negotiating power.

“We gotta start negotiating from power,” Burchett said in a video he posted. “Trump will tell you: negotiate from power.”

美众议院通过拨款法案 结束部分政府停摆

发布/2026年2月4日 07:07

美国由共和党主导的国会众议院投票通过政府拨款方案，结束为期四天的部分政府停摆。

综合美国广播公司（ABC）和法新社报道，这项政府拨款法案星期二（2月3日）以217票赞成、214票反对的微弱优势获得通过。

美国总统特朗普随后签署法案。他早前透露，众议院已接近达成方案，有望在星期二表决通过拨款法案，让过去几天停摆的政府机构重开。

这项拨款计划为战争部、教育部、财政部、劳工部和国务院提供资金支持，有效期至本财年结束。法案还包含一项为期两周的短期措施，确保国土安全部资金维持到下周结束。

众议院21名民主党人加入共和党阵营，支持这项拨款方案；同时有同等数量的共和党人投下反对票，拒绝接受民主党要求改革国土安全部的条件。

投票环节还因数名共和党人迟迟未表决而延迟约45分钟。共和党领导层最终说服反对者，确保方案获得足够票数推进。

尽管拨款方案获得通过，国会两院议员仍须在2月13日前，就国土安全部资金问题达成共识，否则它就会面临停摆。

此次围绕国土安全部的拨款争端，源于移民与海关执法局（ICE）1月在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市枪杀两名美国公民事件。国土安全部新增拨款的谈判随之陷入僵局。

参议院上星期五（1月30日）通过一项拨款方案，为多数联邦机构提供资金至今年9月，同时通过为期两周的临时措施维持国土安全部运作，以便议员就移民执法政策进行协商。

不过，法案赶不及在周末前送交众议院表决，导致受影响的联邦机构星期六（31日）起开始停摆。

特朗普持续施压共和党人通过拨款法案，结束政府停摆。

他在社媒发文说：“我们会本着诚意共同解决相关问题，但绝不能再发生像去年夏天创纪录的43天停摆那样漫长、无意义且破坏性极大的政府停摆。”

美国和伊朗即将重启核谈判之际，以色列总理内坦亚胡在耶路撒冷会见美国总统中东问题特使威特科夫，并告诉后者伊朗“无法信守承诺”。

综合新华社和《耶路撒冷邮报》报道，内坦亚胡星期二（2月3日）会见当天抵达以色列的威特科夫，双方进行长达三小时会晤。

以色列国防部长卡茨以及总参谋长扎米尔，也出席会议。

以色列总理办公室过后发表声明说，内坦亚胡告诉威特科夫：“伊朗已一再证明，它无法信守承诺。”

以色列高级官员向以色列公共广播公司（Kan）透露，以方要求美方保证在伊朗问题上“行动自由”，以防伊朗在可能的美国袭击后采取报复。

报道称，以色列还要求伊朗停止生产以方认为构成直接威胁的弹道导弹，并终止铀浓缩活动。

《耶路撒冷邮报》在内坦亚胡与威特科夫会晤后获悉，伊朗向调解方表示愿意讨论核问题，甚至考虑作出妥协。知情人士称，伊朗似乎也愿意在后续谈判中，讨论弹道导弹问题和代理人问题。

多家媒体预计，威特科夫和伊朗外交部长阿拉格齐会于星期五（6日）会晤，寻求通过外交途径缓和美伊紧张局势。

内坦亚胡与威特科夫也讨论加沙停火协议第二阶段相关问题。内坦亚胡表明，加沙开始重建之前，必须先解除哈马斯武装、加沙全面实现非军事化，并完成以方设定的战争目标。这些是以方“不可妥协的立场”。

内坦亚胡还强调，巴勒斯坦民族权力机构不会以任何形式参与未来加沙治理。

美国原计划在土耳其伊斯坦布尔与伊朗举行核谈判，但伊朗希望另择地点会谈，美国总统特朗普拒绝透露会议到底定在何处。

媒体预计美伊核谈判会于星期五（2月6日）重启。一名阿拉伯外交官向《以色列时报》证实，美方原计划在伊斯坦布尔谈判，并邀请若干阿拉伯和回教国家作为观察员出席。

美国新闻网站Axios则报道，德黑兰希望在其他地方谈判，并且不邀请别国参与；伊朗外交部说，正在就多个地点进行磋商。

特朗普星期二（3日）在白宫被记者问及美伊会谈地点时说：“各地都有……不止一个地方。”

他表明：“他们正在谈，想要做点什么。我们会观望能否达成协议。他们曾有机会采取行动，但没实现，于是我们发动‘午夜之锤’行动（即去年6月美国轰炸伊朗核设施）……我不认为他们想重蹈覆辙。他们希望谈判，而我们现在正跟他们磋商。”

伊朗外交部发言人巴盖伊同日告诉伊朗媒体，未来数日伊朗与美国的谈判计划已制定，目前双方正在就谈判地点进行磋商。

Trump suggests Republicans should nationalize voting. Here’s what to know.

February 3, 2026 / 6:18 PM EST / CBS News

Washington — President Trump suggested Monday that Republicans should “nationalize” voting, the latest escalation in his and his administration’s efforts to step into federal elections ahead of the 2026 midterms.

During a podcast interview with former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino, Mr. Trump repeated his claims that people who are in the U.S. illegally are voting in federal elections and urged Republicans to “take over the voting” in at least 15 states.

“The Republicans should say, ‘we want to take over,’” Mr. Trump said Monday. “The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. And then we have states that are so crooked, and they’re counting votes.”

A day later, Mr. Trump said in an Oval Office event, while flanked by lawmakers and members of his Cabinet: “I want to see elections be honest, and if a state can’t run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it.”

Constitution gives states — not the president — the power to run elections

---

The Constitution’s Elections Clause gives states the authority to set the rules for federal elections, and offices at the state and local levels oversee their administration, though Congress can pass election regulations in certain cases.

As a result, the president has virtually no role in overseeing elections, said David Becker, a CBS News election law contributor and the executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research.

“The Elections Clause of the Constitution couldn’t be any more clear,” Becker said on CBS News’ “The Takeout with Major Garrett” on Tuesday. “It’s actually one of the areas the Founders carved out, specifically to exclude the executive from any power over elections.”

Asked by reporters Tuesday about those constitutional limits, Mr. Trump said states “can administer the election, but they have to do it honestly.” He also referred to states as “agents of the federal government” and argued that federal authorities should be more involved.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang earlier Tuesday that Mr. Trump “believes in the United States Constitution,” but also believes there has been “a lot of fraud and irregularities.”

Trump moves to expand control over elections

---

The president has accused Democrats of allowing undocumented immigrants in their states to vote in order to bolster their support, and claimed repeatedly, without evidence, that the 2020 election was rife with fraud.

Dozens of lawsuits filed by his campaign and GOP allies that sought to overturn the 2020 election results were dismissed, and Bill Barr, who served as attorney general in Mr. Trump’s first term, said the Justice Department did not uncover any evidence of widespread fraud.

Still, Mr. Trump and his administration have undertaken efforts to exert more control over elections. The president signed an executive order last year that aimed to overhaul elections, including by requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. It is a crime for noncitizens to vote in federal elections and violators face up to a year in prison.

But the directive faced several legal challenges, and portions of it, including the proof-of-citizenship provisions, have been blocked by federal judges.

The Justice Department has also demanded complete voter registration lists from nearly every state and Washington, D.C., according to the Brennan Center for Justice. It has filed lawsuits against two dozen states and the District of Columbia for refusing to hand over the records, which include voters’ addresses, birth dates and partial Social Security numbers.

Mr. Trump also urged Republican state lawmakers to redraw their congressional district lines to help the GOP hold onto its majority in the House. After Texas adopted new voting boundaries that aimed to give Republicans five additional House seats, California approved its own plan to make five seats more favorable to Democrats. Several other states have also moved to recraft their congressional maps.

Then, last week, the FBI executed a search warrant at a Fulton County, Georgia, elections office and seized ballots from the 2020 presidential election. Mr. Trump has repeatedly claimed without evidence that the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, where he lost to former President Joe Biden, was “rigged” against him.

The president told Bongino that “you’re going to see some interesting things come in” regarding Georgia, and again asserted without evidence that he won the 2020 election.

The FBI’s search, as well as the presence of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the scene, raised alarms among Democrats on Capitol Hill. Gabbard told lawmakers in a letter Monday that Mr. Trump requested she be at the search of the Fulton County elections hub. She also acknowledged facilitating a phone call between FBI agents in Atlanta and the president, and said Mr. Trump wanted to “thank the agents personally for their work.” Gabbard said the president did not ask any questions and did not issue any directives.

The New York Times had reported earlier Monday that Gabbard helped arrange the call between Mr. Trump and FBI agents after the search.

Mr. Trump has also backed the SAVE Act, a bill backed by congressional Republicans that would require state election officials to get in-person proof of citizenship from people registering to vote. Leavitt said Tueday the president’s comments on taking over elections referred to that legislation.

“President Trump cares deeply about the safety and security of our elections — that’s why he’s urged Congress to pass the SAVE Act and other legislative proposals that would establish a uniform standard of photo ID for voting, prohibit no-excuse mail-in voting, and end the practice of ballot harvesting,” Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, said in response to Mr. Trump’s comments.

Congressional Republicans push back on nationalizing elections

---

The president’s call to “nationalize elections” is facing pushback from Republican leaders on Capitol Hill. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters that while he backs a plan to require photo identification to vote, he does not favor federalizing elections.

“I’m a big believer in decentralized and distributing power, and I think it’s harder to hack 50 election systems than it is to hack one,” he told reporters on Capitol Hill. “So in my view, that’s always a system that’s worked quite well.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson also defended the system of states administering elections and said Mr. Trump was “expressing frustration” about election integrity.

“It’s a system that works well, so long as the states make it a priority to ensure the integrity of our elections, and we have real concerns about some of the blue states, frankly, that have not been doing that well,” he told reporters. “So that’s the president’s — he’s expressing that frustration. We all have it. We’re looking for solutions.”

A new slogan and accompanying red hat made its debut at the White House on Tuesday as President Donald Trump signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, reopening the federal government with a room full of Republican lawmakers in attendance.

The hat, bearing the phrase “America Is Back!” sat on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office during the bill-signing ceremony, as House Speaker Mike Johnson praised the message while standing alongside the president.

“This is good for the country, and America is back,” said Johnson, who added that the hat was “appropriate” and “the right slogan.”

Trump confirmed the item’s novelty during the signing event, looking toward the hat held in Johnson’s hands.

“It’s a new hat,” Trump said. “[It] just came out. America is back.”

Trump noticed CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in the press pool and quipped, “Look, CNN is thrilled [about the hat]. Look at her. She never smiles. I’d never see her [smile]. But someday I’ll see her smile.”

While the event focused on passage of the sweeping government funding package, the hat quickly became a visual focal point. As of Tuesday afternoon, however, the “America Is Back!” hat had not yet appeared for sale on the Trump Store official site, which currently features other Trump-branded merchandise, including MAGA hats.

Johnson’s remarks came as Republicans sought to champion the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) after days of uncertainty, with Johnson standing behind Trump as the president signed the bill reopening the government.

The CAA signed Tuesday funds most federal agencies through the end of the fiscal year, though separate negotiations remain ongoing over longer-term funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Trump later argued that the new phrase does not replace his longtime political slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

“We’ll never forget MAGA,” he said. “But I thought this was very appropriate.” Sen. Barasso, R-Wyo., added, “Love it.”

It is unclear when or if the “America Is Back” hat will be made available for purchase in the Trump online store.

Upon request for comment, the White House referred Fox News Digital to Trump’s stated remarks.

Judge skeptical of Pentagon’s efforts to punish Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly over “illegal orders” video

Updated on: February 3, 2026 / 6:41 PM EST / CBS News

A federal judge on Tuesday expressed skepticism over the Pentagon’s effort to downgrade the pay and rank of Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona after he publicly urged service members not to follow unlawful military orders.

Kelly, a retired Navy captain, previously sued Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in mid-January, saying he is the target of “extreme rhetoric and punitive retribution” by the Trump administration over a video in which he and five other Democratic lawmakers urged members of the military to “refuse illegal orders.”

Following the video’s release in November, Kelly received a censure letter in early January from Hegseth which claimed the senator’s public criticism undermined the chain of command, counseled disobedience among the ranks and represented conduct unbecoming of an officer. The Navy later followed up with a letter saying his retirement pay grade would be re-evaluated.

In a 45-minute court hearing on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon appeared concerned by the Justice Department’s arguments that the speech limitations customarily imposed on active-duty military officers to promote discipline and obedience was being extended to include retired service members like Kelly.

“That’s never been done,” Leon told Justice Department attorney John Bailey, adding that the government did not have a single case to support the argument.

“You’re asking me to do something that the Supreme Court has never done,” Leon said. “That’s a bit of a stretch, is it not?”

Kelly’s legal team, which includes the former U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey as well as other prominent former senior officials from the Justice Department, say that the Pentagon’s actions are an unlawful attempt to stifle his First Amendment right to free speech.

“There is a clear First Amendment violation here,” said Ben Mizer, one of Kelly’s attorneys, during oral arguments on Tuesday. He added that the government’s actions not only infringe on Kelly’s rights but also run “the risk of chilling the speech of every retired veteran in this country.”

Kelly’s lawyers also separately argue that, as a member of Congress, he is immune from criminal prosecution or civil lawsuits targeting his legislative activity under the Constitution’s Speech and Debate clause.

The Justice Department on Tuesday told Leon that Kelly is not eligible to petition the federal court for relief because he has failed to exhaust his administrative appeals through the military tribunals and that the actions taken against him are not final.

Mizer, however, said that it was clear based on Hegseth’s own words that he has expressed bias towards Kelly.

“Secretary Hegseth has … demonstrated bias, and he is not a decision-maker who has kept an open mind,” he told Leon.

Leon said he hopes to rule on the issue by Feb. 11 in order to give the parties time to appeal.

Kelly, speaking to reporters outside the courthouse on Tuesday, said he appreciates “the judge’s quick and careful consideration in this case given what is at stake here.”

He added that he believes he has the Constitution on his side.

Kelly is one of six congressional Democrats who appeared together in the video last year.

The video came as the Trump administration was facing intense pressure over its military strikes against drug vessels, with legal experts and congressional Democrats saying the strikes amounted to unlawful extrajudicial killings.

The Justice Department has since sent inquiries to the five other congressional Democrats who participated in the video. In response to the Justice Department probe, the lawmakers have accused the Trump administration of trying to silence and intimidate them.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s call for Republicans to “nationalize” elections drew pushback on Tuesday from lawmakers, including from a few Republicans, as Democrats voiced fresh concern that he intends to interfere with the November midterms that will determine control of Congress.

In a podcast interview with former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino released on Monday, Trump repeated his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him and said his party should “take over” and
