House Republicans have released a plan to avert a government shutdown at the end of this month, and it includes roughly $30 million in additional security funding for lawmakers.It comes days after Charlie Kirk's assassination last week during a college campus speaking event in Utah.The measure is mostly a straightforward extension of current government funding levels, called a continuing resolution, or CR, in order to give House and Senate negotiators more time to reach a deal. It would extend through Nov. 21.Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has said he wants to hold a House-wide vote on the measure Friday, after which it will be taken up by the Senate.SECRET SERVICE UNDER PRESSURE: WHAT KIRKS ASSASSINATION MEANS FOR TRUMPS SECURITYPresident Donald Trump must sign the measure into law by Oct. 1, the beginning of fiscal year 2026, to avert a government shutdown.House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., earlier briefed lawmakers on member security options and plans for the funding increase during the House GOP's weekly closed-door conference meeting.Two sources told Fox News Digital earlier on Tuesday that Steil proposed adding $30 million to a mutual aid fund between Capitol Police and local law enforcement for the duration of the CR, which House leadership sources confirmed would be included in the bill."The proposed $30 million plus-up would be into the mutual aid bucket, one of the many programs available. The mutual aid bucket is a program where U.S. Capitol Police reimburses local law enforcement to provide security, traditionally, in a member's district," Steil said when asked by reporters after the meeting.The legislation would also honor the Trump administration's request for an additional $58 million in security funding for the judicial and executive branches.Another $1 billion would be included in Washington, D.C.'s annual budget, which is allotted by the federal government.Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., said he anticipated that the lawmaker security funding boost in the CR would also make way for discussions for more long-term lawmaker security enhancements, likely in the annual appropriations process for fiscal 2026 funding."What you're trying to do, put in perspective, is if you had 24/7 for every member, all 435, it's billions of dollars," Fitzgerald told Fox News Digital. "So we're trying to come up with something that makes sense and that members are comfortable with."He continued, referencing the recent assassinations of a Minnesota state Democratic lawmaker and Kirk, "It's become something that we've already been, since Minnesota, focused on. And now with Charlie Kirk, it's just gone off the charts trying to figure out what you can do."And while the desire for added security is palpable among Democratic lawmakers as well, House and Senate Democrats' frustration at being sidelined in government funding discussions has their leaders threatening to oppose the CR en masse.With a narrow House GOP majority of just two seats, Johnson can afford little dissent among his own conference.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION ROCKS CAPITOL HILL, HEIGHTENS LAWMAKERS' SECURITY FEARSOne House Republican told Fox News Digital that Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., raised concerns in the Tuesday morning meeting about current Capitol security being weak.Burchett, who told Fox News Digital he is still undecided on the bill, confirmed he believed member security measures are inadequate."I've got some real problems there," he said, adding of the proposed security increases, "It's not gonna help with that. That's personnel. That's leadership."Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., also all publicly expressed concerns about voting for a CR.But Johnson argued in a Tuesday press conference that the onus would be on Democrats if they voted against the GOP-led CR."Unfortunately, there are some Democrats who are openly pining for a government shutdown in spite of this obvious and necessary step," he said. "Some of them apparently believe that shutting down the government will be some sort of life raft for them so they can regain the support of the American people. I just think that is a fool's gambit."He also confirmed that Kirk's assassination gave way to renewed discussions about lawmaker security."The tragedy has also initiated a number of uncomfortable but necessary conversations about important issues, like the safety and security of our members and the responsibility of public servants, and the need for political leaders to turn down the temperature and the violent rhetoric in America," Johnson said.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder for denigrating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers at the Emmy Awards.While receiving her award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the HBO Max show on Sunday, Einbinder concluded her speech by saying, "F--- ICE and free Palestine!"In a statement to TMZ on Monday, McLaughlin blasted the remark, which was bleeped out during the CBS broadcast.DHS OFFICIAL ASKS KIM KARDASHIAN WHICH MURDERERS, RAPISTS SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE ICE PUT BACK ON STREETS"How ugly such demonization is inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement, who are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them," McLaughlin said.She added, "As this woman fans the flames of hatred, our brave law enforcement will continue enforcing the rule of law and protecting Americans."Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and representatives for HBO Max for further comment.Einbinder later spoke to reporters about why she addressed the Palestinians."I thought it was important to talk about Palestine because it's an issue that's very dear to my heart. I have friends in Gaza who are working as frontline workers, as doctors right now in the north of Gaza to provide care for pregnant women and for school children to create schools in the refugee camps," Einbinder said.SOUTH PARK RESPONDS TO DHS AFTER DEPARTMENT USES SHOW TO RECRUIT ICE AGENTSShe added, "I feel it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel because our religion and our culture is such an important and longstanding, basically, institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state.""Boycotting is an effective tool to create pressure on the powers that be to meet the moment," she said.Fox News Digital also reached out to Einbinders representatives for comment.Though comedian Nate Bargatze avoided politics while hosting the show, some presenters and actors like Einbinder used their time onstage to highlight political issues.COLBERT WINS EMMY FOR 'LATE SHOW' AFTER CANCELLATION, SAYS HE LOVES HIS COUNTRY MORE THAN EVERWhile onstage, Television Academy Board of Governors Chair Cris Abrego decried the Trump administration cutting federal funds to PBS.During his time, he also touted the power of storytelling in addressing divisions in the country.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"At a time when division dominates the headlines, storytelling still has the power to unite us," he said.

FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that the investigation into the assassination of conservative speaker Charlie Kirk has expanded, with the bureau looking at numerous individuals who may have communicated with the suspect in online chats.Speaking at a Senate hearing Tuesday, Patel said some of those under scrutiny are linked to an online chatroom where the suspect, Tyler Robinson, allegedly shared his plans.Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., directly pressed Patel on whether Kirks suspected killer acted alone."So others could have been involved?"Kennedy asked.'MOST TRANSPARENT' FBI EVER: PATEL UPDATES SENATE ON KIRK ASSASSINATION PROBE"Yes, sir,"Patel responded.Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., also questioned Patel, demanding answers about the Discord server where Kirks suspected assassin reportedly engaged with others prior to the attack."I see the public reports that the Discord thread had as many as 20 additional users," Hawley said. "It sounds like you're trying to run down all of that to see if that's accurate. Who else may have been on that thread, what they may have known? Is that fair to say?"Patel replied, "It's a lot more than that, and we're running them all down."KASH PATEL'S FBI LEADERSHIP UNDER SCRUTINY AHEAD OF SENATE JUDICIARY OVERSIGHT HEARINGPatel also confirmed the FBI had served legal process on Discord and is now combing through the digital footprint left behind in that chatroom. He described it as an online "gaming chat room," but emphasized the FBI is treating all users involved with urgency."We're also going to be investigating anyone and everyone involved in that Discord chat," Patel said.The chat reportedly included discussions that could indicate ideological motivations, and possibly even encouragement or foreknowledge of the attack.FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL REVEALS DETAILS ABOUT ALLEGED KIRK ASSASSIN'S TEXTS"Those closest to the suspect are going to hopefully know the most about the suspect and his beliefs and his ideology," Patel said. "We're continuing to do that."Hawley also pressed Patel on whether Kirks assassination is part of a broader trend of anti-Christian violence, a concern growing in many conservative circles."Is the FBI investigating the Kirk assassination as part of this broader pattern of anti-religious, anti-Christian violence?" Hawley asked.Patel responded, "We are investigating Charlie's assassination fully and completely and running out every lead related to any allegation of broader violence."Patel did not name specific individuals but confirmed that numerous people are now being interrogated and that the FBI is pursuing additional suspects tied to the same chatroom.

A fight between Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and FBI Director Kash Patel erupted on Tuesday during a hearing as Booker grilled Patel about controversies surrounding his tenure at the bureau.Booker accused Patel of making the country "weaker and less safe" and predicted he would not last as FBI director, before a yelling match ensued."I think you're not going to be around long," Booker said during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. "I think this might be your last oversight hearing, because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution of the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown us in his first term, and in this term, he is not loyal to people like you.""That rant of false information does not bring this country together," Patel shot back, before adding, "It's my time, not yours.""My God! My God!" Booker exclaimed.The clash came as Booker was grilling Patel over firings at the FBI and sealed grand jury testimony he gave during the prosecution against President Donald Trump over classified documents.Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, interjected and scolded Booker, calling for order. The New Jersey Democrat stormed out after his questioning concluded.This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Former New York Jets center Nick Mangold put a New Jersey town on blast over the weekend after city officials did not observe President Donald Trumps proclamation ordering that U.S. flags on government buildings be flown at half-staff in honor of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.But while Madison, the home of the former NFL star, deferred to the state, other neighboring towns decided to pay tribute to Kirk, who was assassinated in Utah while speaking at a campus event.Florham Park and East Hanover, both in Morris County, and Summit in Union County observed the presidential proclamation which called for the United States flag to be flown at half-staff from Wednesday, Sept. 10, through Sept. 14.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIn a statement to Fox News Digital, Florham Park Mayor Mark Taylor called Kirk a "great patriot" and said that flags in the borough remained at half-staff as of Tuesday."Yes, Florham Park has listened to the President's order and we are still flying the flags at half-staff in honor of the great patriot, Charlie Kirk."East Hanover confirmed that the township also acted "in accordance with the proclamation." The city of Summit told Fox News Digital that the flag was flown at half-staff at city hall, the library and the community center through Sunday.Trumps proclamation came after Kirk, 31, was assassinated Wednesday during a campus event at Utah Valley University. The married father of two was struck by a single bullet and later pronounced dead. Tyler Robinson,a 22-year-old Utah resident, was arrested as a suspect in the killing.State and local officials in New Jersey were criticized when Mangold drove by a government building in Madison over the weekend and noted that the town did not observe the presidential proclamation."Im disgusted and saddened by my town (Madison) and my state (New Jersey)," he wrote on X. "This is wrong on so many levels as an American husband and father was assassinated for expressing his right to free speech."RASHEE RICE CRASH VICTIM'S LAWYER SLAMS TRAVIS KELCE FOR WEARING T-SHIRT IN TEAMMATE'S HONORMangold tagged New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and the two gubernatorial candidates who are fighting to succeed Murphy, Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli.Officials in Madison released a statement responding to the criticism, noting that the borough was simply following the state's daily flag status."Over the weekend, we received questions about the lowering of the American flag in the borough. Madisons policy is to follow the State of New Jerseys daily flag status, which can be found here," the statement read. "Over the weekend, the status was full staff. The Borough of Madison condemns all forms of political violence and rejects hate in every form. We remain committed to bringing people together around our shared values and ideals."State and local governments are not legally bound to comply with presidential proclamations. Fox News Digital has reached out to Murphys office for comment. Morris Plains Mayor Jason Karr told Fox News Digital that flags were not lowered to half-staff in his borough because he was unaware of the presidential proclamation.He noted that while the flag was lowered for Sept. 11 on Thursday, it was raised to full-staff the following day and through the weekend."Given the nature of recent events, the Borough of Morris Plains did not receive the usual notification regarding the directive to lower the American flag. At no time was there any intent of disrespect toward the President of the United States or the Kirk family," Karr said in a statement. "The tragic circumstances clearly warranted the lowering of the flags, and the Borough would have taken immediate action had notification been received or relayed to any Borough official."I do not support or condone the actions taken against Charlie Kirk and offer my sincerest condolences to Erika, his children, and his entire family during this difficult time. This unfortunate oversight should not be politicized. In moments such as these, it is important for us to rise above division. Both the left and the right should stand together under the American eagle, so that our nation may continue to soar in unity."Meanwhile in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott ordered that all state government buildings comply with the proclamation."Cecilia and I are heartbroken by the assassination and passing of Charlie Kirk," Abbott said. "Charlies voice was a beacon for millions of young Americans searching for truth, courage, and conviction. This senseless act of violence has no place in America.

Texas stands with them in mourning and in honoring Charlie's enduring legacy."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
