Spirit Airlines on the Brink: Bailout Collapse Could Trigger Shutdown and Massive Job Losses

Spirit Airlines could cease operations after reports that bailout negotiations collapsed with bondholders and the U.S. government; at its Fort Lauderdale and Dania Beach bases, flyers and employees fear disruption and thousands of jobs, while passengers may be protected on refunds/credits if they paid by credit card. If Spirit exits, fares could rise due to less competition, and nearly 20,000 Spirit employees could lose their livelihoods unless a rescue is secured, according to unions and industry analysis.

Ask.com shutters after almost 30 years, ending the Ask Jeeves era

Ask.com, originally launched as Ask Jeeves in 1997, will close operations on May 1, 2026 as its parent IAC shifts away from the search business. The service popularized a natural-language Q&A interface with the Jeeves mascot, rebranded to Ask.com in 2006, and shut its independent web crawler in 2010. Despite early competition with Yahoo, Google’s dominance and the rise of other Q&A sites left Ask.com behind, prompting online nostalgia and debate over what a modern Jeeves-inspired AI could have become.

DHS funding ends record shutdown as immigration funds move separately

DHS funding ends record shutdown as immigration funds move separately

President Trump signed a bipartisan bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, ending the record shutdown, but funding for immigration enforcement (ICE and Border Patrol) will be handled later through budget reconciliation; DHS had operated on temporary funds since February, risking pay for workers and prompting TSA turnover, as lines at airports persisted. The House moved quickly after Senate approval to unlock the package using a GOP budget track, with immigration funding expected to be debated in May and aimed for action by June 1, 2026, to fund ICE/Border Patrol through 2029.

Bipartisan DHS Funding Ends Historic Shutdown

President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan bill funding most of the Department of Homeland Security, ending the longest U.S. government shutdown, while immigration-enforcement funding remains on a separate budget-reconciliation track; the package funds DHS operations like TSA, Coast Guard and FEMA, but ICE and Border Patrol money will be decided later, with votes expected in May and a goal to have funding on Trump’s desk by June 1.

DHS funding ends shutdown as Trump signs relief bill, shifting focus to immigration fights

President Trump signed bipartisan DHS funding to end the 76‑day shutdown, restoring pay and operations for key agencies (Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA, CISA) while some immigration agencies remain unfunded and DHS payrolls are expected to resume with paychecks likely by May 8; Republicans plan a separate package for ICE/CBP, setting up a new round of budget battles as lawmakers recess. The day’s broader docket also features a bipartisan AI workforce data bill backing from major tech players and continued GOP policy clashes on war powers, surveillance, and the farm bill.

House Reopens Homeland Security Funding, Ends 76-Day Shutdown

House Reopens Homeland Security Funding, Ends 76-Day Shutdown

The House approved a stalled funding package to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, ending a record 76-day shutdown after Republicans used a procedural move to push the bill through with Democratic help. The measure funds DHS through Sept. 30, but leaves ICE and parts of the border patrol funded separately by a Republican-only bill. The White House had urged immediate passage, and negotiations over new restrictions on immigration enforcement had stalled for weeks. The episode highlights ongoing tensions over how Congress funds federal agencies and conducts immigration policy, even as a separate $70 billion immigration-enforcement package is advanced outside regular processes.

DHS Reopens After GOP Retreat, ICE Funding Remains in Limbo

Congress approved a partial DHS funding package to reopen agencies including the TSA, ending weeks of shutdown after GOP infighting. The plan funds DHS for 75 days but excludes new ICE/CBP money, a concession enabling passage with Democratic support; it now goes to President Trump for signature, ending the shutdown for now while ICE funding remains in limbo and other spending battles loom.

Congress Restores DHS Funding, But Immigration Battle Persists

On the 76th day of a DHS funding lapse, Congress approved a partial funding bill to restart most Homeland Security agencies through September, including the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA and CISA, while leaving immigration enforcement rules intact and paving a separate, party-line push to fund ICE and Border Patrol later; the White House is expected to sign and the clash over immigration policy remains unresolved ahead of midterm battles.

GOP urged to cede on DHS funding as shutdown stalemate persists

Trump’s budget office circulated a memo pressuring House Republicans to back a Senate-passed DHS funding bill that omits money for ICE and border patrol, in an effort to reopen DHS and prevent further unpaid staff amid a long-running shutdown. With Johnson’s caucus divided, pay disruptions and TSA delays have intensified, and even if a partial DHS bill reaches the floor, securing votes remains uncertain. The White House warns funds could run dry soon, and a budget-reconciliation path to a broader immigration/enforcement package would likely take weeks.

DHS funding stalemate persists after WHCD shooting sparks blame game

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting did little to move lawmakers on DHS funding: the Senate-passed bill excluding ICE/CBP sits in the House while Republicans push for full DHS funding and oppose reform, and Democrats insist on attaching immigration-enforcement reforms. Leaders traded barbs over process, with little sign of a near-term deal as centrists call for some compromise while the stalemate continues.

GOP Unveils $70B Immigration Plan to Reopen DHS Without Democrats

GOP Unveils $70B Immigration Plan to Reopen DHS Without Democrats

Senate Republicans unveiled a plan to fund about $70 billion for immigration enforcement to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, bypassing Democrats by using budget reconciliation to avoid Democratic votes. The package would fund ICE and border patrol through the remainder of President Donald Trump’s term, removing the need for cross-party negotiation. It tees up a Senate floor vote and a potential vote-a-rama, but passage is uncertain as House Speaker Mike Johnson has signaled he won’t advance DHS funding without assurances ICE and border patrol will be funded, and the reconciliation process requires near-unanimous GOP support.

GOP pushes framework to fund ICE and CBP through Trump’s term

Senate Republicans released a budget resolution to fully fund ICE and CBP through the end of President Donald Trump’s term, aiming to do so without Democratic votes and directing the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Judiciary committees to draft final immigration-enforcement bills with a $70 billion cap per committee. Democrats condemned the move as a blank check that would prolong the DHS shutdown without reforms, as lawmakers race toward a June deadline while past efforts to fund DHS excluding ICE/CBP have failed and a House stopgap extended DHS funding through May 22.
