The United States is reeling from two New Year's attacks in Nevada and Louisiana that claimed multiple lives and injured dozens.
Authorities say New Orleans terrorist attack suspect Shamsuddin Jabbar acted alone when he drove a rented Ford pickup truck into a crowd, killing at least 14 people and injuring dozens more. Hours later, in Las Vegas, Green Beret Matthew Lyblesberger was killed in a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded in front of the Trump Hotel. The vehicle was loaded with fireworks and gas canisters, and law enforcement said Libersberger died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound shortly before the explosion.
The 119th Congress began in earnest in the nation's capital. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) was re-elected to the House's top post in a lengthy first round of voting Friday afternoon. There wasn't much controversy in the Senate's gavel on Friday, as Vice President Harris swore in new members. New Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R.S.D.) has already pledged, insisting that the Senate filibuster will remain in place. The group's oldest and longest-serving senator, Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), was sworn in as president pro tempore.
All topics are likely to be discussed on this Sunday's show.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in an interview that New Orleans ignored the bulletin and other memos that pointed to the increased risk that attackers could use vehicles to harm people around them. “It's not fair,” he said. Mayorkas is scheduled to appear on ABC's “This Week,” where he will discuss how DHS is preparing for another deadly attack and possibly provide new updates related to the Bourbon Street incident. .
Thune, who takes over from Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), has already vowed to keep the legislative filibuster, saying the rule “perhaps preserves the vision of the Senate's founders.” It will have the biggest impact on the top.” The South Dakota Republican also said the extension of President-elect Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, border security, deregulation and defense spending will be top priorities for Senate Republicans. Thune appears on NBC's “Meet the Press” to discuss the Senate's path to enacting President Trump's policies in 2025 and further details his partnership with newly re-elected House Speaker Johnson. It's planned.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) declined to support the Louisiana congressman during a roll call vote, while Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-Ky.) Johnson's refusal to endorse him during the vote set him on a rocky path back to the gavel. After speaking by phone Friday with Trump, who supported Johnson, he chose to vote for other members before ultimately reversing his vote. Johnson is scheduled to appear on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, where he will discuss Republicans' plans to implement Trump's policies in the House and how they plan to work with some members of the House Freedom Caucus. There is a high possibility that it will. Request summary For him after his successful re-election.
Trump's next “border czar” Tom Homan said this week that the incoming administration will be paying close attention to potential radicals and extremists in various institutions, including the U.S. military, following two attacks in Las Vegas and New Orleans. He said he needed to pay. Homan is scheduled to appear on CBS's “Face the Nation,” where he is likely to discuss the Trump administration's plans for the U.S.-Mexico border.
