Airports around the U.S. continue to deal with long lines and short staffing after Congress once again failed to reach an agreement over Department of Homeland Security funding.

On Friday, the Senate unanimously voted to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security. Transportation Security Administration workers and other federal workers within DHS would receive paychecks again, but funding for ICE is not included in the package.

Senators are set to try again on Thursday after a sixth attempt to advance a measure to fund DHS fell short of the 60-vote threshold needed for it to move forward. Ed O'Keefe breaks down what Republicans and Democrats want in negotiations.
President Trump is facing pushback from both parties over the Iran war. Much of the tension appears to be centered on the possibility of sending U.S. troops into Iran and what that would look like.
