The US is operating without a fully funded Department of Homeland Security — the nation’s first line of defense against terror threats, especially during conflicts — prompting dire warnings from the GOP.
“This is certainly not the time to play games,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) told Fox News on Saturday — as Tehran was vowing deadly retribution against the US over its joint strikes with Israel against Iran.
“If this doesn’t move the needle for our Democrat friends, I don’t know what does,” Crawford said, referring to the dangerous international situation and the Dems’ stalling over additional funding for the crucial agency.

Crawford is a member of the “Gang of Eight,” a group of four Republicans and four Democrats who get access to the most highly classified briefings given to Congress.
