Thune, GOP blast Dems in DHS standoff as Lankford says they fear ICE over Iran

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., accused Senate Democrats of not having "any excuses" to continue blocking Homeland Security funding as Republicans and the White House continue to make repeated offers to reopen the government.

"The opportunity to actually drive this to a conclusion is there," Thune said at a press conference on Saturday in response to Fox News Digital. "You have to have, obviously, to negotiate a deal, you got to have two sides at the table. The White House is there, Senate Republicans are there. The question is, are Senate Democrats going to take yes for an answer?"

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) entered its 36th day of shutdown as Senate Democrats continue to block funding for the agency in their pursuit of reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

DHS SHUTDOWN TIED FOR SECOND-LONGEST EVER AS DEMS AGAIN BLOCK FUNDING AMID AIRPORT CHAOS, TERRORISM CONCERNS

After more than two weeks of negotiations appearing to have stalled, Democrats responded to the White House’s latest offer. That spurred two face-to-face meetings with Senate Republicans and Trump administration officials, including border czar Tom Homan, on Capitol Hill.

The latest meeting, which wrapped on Friday, saw Republicans offer Senate Democrats a compromise DHS funding bill.

Thune said the meeting went well and hoped the parties will meet again over the weekend. He characterized the GOP’s offer as filled "with a lot of reforms that have been requested and asked for by Democrats."

DEM SENATORS CALL TO FUND DHS AFTER VOTING TO BLOCK IT 4 TIMES AMID SHUTDOWN FIGHT

It comes as lines at airports snake for blocks, tens of thousands of federal workers go without pay, and concerns about increased threats in the U.S. as the Pentagon continues Operation Epic Fury against the Iranian regime.

Still, Thune and the GOP have grown increasingly frustrated with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democrats’ unwillingness to engage in negotiations over the last several weeks.

"We have the Department of Homeland Security closed right now because apparently my Democratic colleagues are more afraid of ICE than they are of Iran and the challenges that we face now in the conflict internationally that we know that we have threats back in the homeland," Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., said at Saturday's press conference.

DEMS UNMOVED AS WHITE HOUSE REVEALS DHS CONCESSIONS IN SHUTDOWN BATTLE

Republicans tried and failed for a fifth time to fully reopen the agency on Friday. In the background, there have been several attempts by Senate Democrats to move forward with standalone funding bills to open parts of DHS, excluding immigration enforcement.

The Senate will have a full vote on a standalone funding bill for the Transportation Security Administration, pushed by Schumer, later on Saturday. It will likely fail, given Republicans’ position that the department should be completely reopened.

"I know they think it's, as has been described by one of their leaders, ‘very serene, very serene’ with their position," Thune said. "Well, I'm telling you something, the people who are sitting in those lines at the airports right now don't see it as very serene. This needs to be resolved. We need a result."

In a Truth Social post later Saturday, President Donald Trump threatened to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports if Democrats did not accept a deal. He said ICE would handle airport security and immediately arrest illegal immigrants coming into the U.S., with a special focus on Somalians.

Taylor Frankie Paul assault video surfaces, ‘Bachelorette’ season scrapped: What to know

As Taylor Frankie Paul faces a new wave of domestic violence allegations, the 31-year-old "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star’s turbulent past has resurfaced following ABC's decision to scrap her upcoming season of "The Bachelorette." 

On March 15, production for Season 5 of "Mormon Wives" came to a halt due to an alleged physical altercation between Paul and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, that occurred in 2023, according to TMZ. 

On Thursday, TMZ was first to publish video of the altercation that shows Paul choking and attempting to kick Mortensen, as well as throwing steel bar stools towards him — one of which allegedly struck her daughter. 

TAYLOR FRANKIE PAUL'S 'BACHELORETTE' SEASON AXED AMID DOMESTIC ASSAULT INVESTIGATION

Paul shares two children with ex-husband Tate Paul: Indy, 8, and son, Ocean, 5. Additionally, she and Mortensen share a 1-year-old son, Ever. 

"This is called physical abuse," Mortensen can be heard saying in the video, as Paul attempts to put him in a chokehold. "See Taylor, this is all you do. It's the only thing you know how to do is hurt me. Do you think this is OK? It's not OK."

After Mortensen asked Paul to leave him alone, the mom of three threw a steel bar stool toward Mortensen while her daughter allegedly sat on the couch. 

"Your daughter is right here," Mortensen said, while trying to avoid getting hit. 

As Paul hauled another stool, a child could be heard crying in the background, screaming, "Mommy."

"Help your daughter, stop screaming at me," he said. 

"You did this," Paul kept screaming, as the child continued to cry. 

As Mortensen begged Paul to stop multiple times, he said, "I'm sorry, Indy."

"Your daughter just got hit in the head with a metal chair," he told Paul. 

"Get away from my daughter," Paul screamed. 

As tensions escalated, the doorbell rang. "What's going on?" a male voice, presumably law enforcement, can be heard asking. 

"She's hammered," Mortensen answers. 

"How about we just separate?" the man asked before the video's conclusion. 

A spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department told People magazine that both Paul and Mortensen are part of an open "domestic assault investigation."

The spokesperson added that "allegations have been made in both directions" and "contact was made with involved parties on [Feb.] 24th and 25th."

Paul's past controversies have ignited online backlash from fans of the ABC show. 

"WHY DID WE CAST A LEAD WITH MULTIPLE DV CHARGES," one user commented on a promo video posted to the official "Bachelorette" Instagram account. 

"I have watched EVERY season of this show. I refuse to watch this and support it," another wrote. "I even watched ‘SLOMW’ up to this point. But her latest act is horrendous and cannot be supported. Her season needs to be pulled. She needs to learn and heal and move on. This is not her first aggrievance and cannot be glossed over. I expect better from you, ABC."

One fan simply wrote, "Cancel it!"

‘MORMON WIVES’ IS CLASHING WITH CORE LDS VALUES AND AMERICA IS EATING IT UP: EXPERT

In a statement to Fox News Digital on Thursday, a spokesperson for Disney Entertainment Television said, "In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of 'The Bachelorette' at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family."

A spokesperson for Paul told Page Six, "Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm."

The statement continued, "There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation, and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story."

Paul first found fame as the creator of MomTok, a group of Mormon, Utah-based wives and mothers who rose to fame on TikTok for their viral dancing and lip-sync videos.

'MORMON WIVES' STAR WEIGHS JUST 99 POUNDS AT 5'10", ADMITS GLP-1 ADDICTION

But her life exploded in 2022, after detailing her "soft-swinging" lifestyle with then-husband, Tate Paul, and other married Mormon couples during a TikTok livestream. 

Paul said the group had an agreement that they "wouldn't go all the way" with their other partners. However, Paul admitted that she "did step out of the agreement" with one of the other husbands in the group.

"That's where I messed up, and I, obviously, am losing everything that I have," Paul said during the livestream.

Paul claimed that "no one was innocent" within the swingers group and that "everyone had hooked up with everyone."

One year later, Paul was arrested and charged with domestic violence in February 2023.

'MORMON WIVES' STAR SAYS PLASTIC SURGERY NIGHTMARE RUINED HER LIFE AND REALITY TV CAREER

"That one was super difficult," Paul told Fox News Digital in 2024. "That was the worst thing that I've gone through."

She continued, "I did go more into depth on the show with that very emotional topic. But I felt like I have learned from it." 

"It was a regret," Paul added. "Hitting rock bottom, there's only one way to go, and it helped me to go up. So honestly, as bad as that night was — I think it was also like a blessing in disguise and maybe could have saved my life in a weird way, like, where I was just drowning in misery. So, you'll see more of that on the show."

After her arrest, Paul was charged with aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse with injury and criminal mischief, according to Herriman police in Salt Lake County.

A complaint filed in Salt Lake County in March 2023 alleged that Paul threw a phone, a wooden play set and "heavy metal chairs" at her boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. One of the chairs allegedly hit one of her children who was sitting next to Mortensen on the couch during their argument, an affidavit stated.

She pleaded guilty in August of that year to aggravated assault, while the other four charges were dismissed with prejudice.

During an appearance on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, Paul addressed the latest allegations and admitted it's been a "heavy" time. 

"Honestly, it’s been a heavy time to see the headlines, especially during this time of ‘The Bachelorette’ being released, and it’s supposed to be a really exciting time," Paul said.

"I’m a person that will always speak my truth, and that’s what I’m known for. And, so, when the time is right, I will be. But right now, just trying to be in the present moment and focus on this.

"My kids do come first," the mom-of-three continued. "My kids come first, and so it's been like just a back-and-forth process trying to be here in the present moment, you know, worrying about home and headlines. It's been stressful to be honest."

Paul told Entertainment Weekly that she and Mortensen are using a "third-party" to communicate with one another regarding their 1-year-old son.

A rep for Mortensen told the outlet that "his number one priority here is protecting [their son], Ever."

Missing former college student, 19, found dead in pond two months after vanishing near his apartment

A 19-year-old former college student in Maine who disappeared two months ago was found dead Tuesday in a pond near his apartment complex, according to authorities.

Chance Lauer was last seen Jan. 19 at the Orchard Trail Apartments in Orono, where he lived, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife said in a news release during the search.

At the time of his disappearance, Lauer’s wallet was found in his room and his phone was turned off, the Orono Police Department previously said, noting that Lauer did not have a vehicle.

Police said officers found a body in the pond after a citizen called the department on Tuesday. The body was recovered with help from the Maine Warden Service and positively identified as Lauer.

Police said "at this point there is nothing suspicious about the death," though they did not indicate how Lauer died. An autopsy was pending.

According to FOX22 Bangor, an individual who identified as a family member of Lauer wrote on social media Wednesday that "he was recovered from a pond near his Orono apartment yesterday afternoon. He went out for a walk 8 weeks ago and fell through the ice."

The pond has reportedly been a focal point of the search for Lauer.

Robert Bowie, director of Downeast Emergency Medicine Institute (DEEMI), told the outlet in a statement Wednesday "the pond has been an area of interest since the beginning, as apartment employee interviews indicated it as an area he would frequent."

BODY FOUND DURING SEARCH FOR MISSING VERMONT COLLEGE STUDENT LIA SMITH NEAR MIDDLEBURY CAMPUS

"DEEMI has launched multiple drone imaging missions over the search area, including the pond, both infrared and high resolution digital imaging," Bowie said. "There have been at least three imaging missions of this area of interest, and more were planned."

Police thanked the Maine Warden Service, University of Maine and search volunteers for their help in trying to locate Lauer.

"The Orono Police Department and the Town of Orono want to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Lauer," police said.

Lauer was enrolled at the University of Maine from September 2024 through December 2025, the school confirmed to People.

The school told WMTW-TV Lauer was not enrolled at the time he went missing.

TSA warns of security 'threat' as airport checkpoint closures trigger more travel delays

The ongoing DHS shutdown has sparked travel chaos in areas of the country, with some airports now closing security checkpoints due to callouts by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers — raising concerns about "threat" levels. 

Acting Deputy TSA Administrator Adam Stahl told Fox News Digital on Wednesday the issue is not just staffing. He said "a variety of other streams of information, including threat [and] intelligence" input, are also part of ongoing risk assessments. 

Philadelphia International Airport announced it will temporarily close three security checkpoints "to help optimize operations across other checkpoints" starting Wednesday. The airport has a total of six main checkpoints — now with just half of them open and operating.

FLIGHT PASSENGERS ARE WARNED THINGS COULD GET WORSE AMID DHS SHUTDOWN, DELAYS AND CALLOUTS

It has also had increases in unscheduled absence rates — and other airports could be next.

"We’re determining [airport and security line closures] based on staffing, but we have federal security directors on the ground who are experts in their particular airport, the configuration, demographic, and travel and patterns tied to that airport," he said.

So far, 366 TSA officers have quit during the shutdown. Stahl warned that as the shutdown drags on, the TSA faces the risk of losing even more officers.

"The reality is [that] as this continues, as our officers continue not to receive a paycheck, it just stretches into weeks … [and] rates [of callouts] are going to continue to go up. We're going to have individuals that can't afford to go into work and individuals quit, possibly altogether," Stahl added.

There was a national callout rate of 10.19% on Sunday, a TSA spokesperson told Fox News Digital this week.

"The overall majority of individuals are continuing to show up, but that's just the reality of the situation. We don't know how much longer they're going to hold on for, and that's why we've signaled to airports, but also to everyone else."

"As the weeks continue, if this continues, it's not hyperbole to suggest that we may have to quite literally shut down airports – particularly smaller ones if callout rates go up," Stahl told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday. 

LaGuardia Airport in New York City has had wait times for travelers of nearly three hours; passengers have faced the same at William P. Hobby (HOU) in Houston.

At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, the wait time for flight passengers has been over two hours.

Smaller and regional airports are warning passengers of long wait times.

"Wait times may fluctuate from 15 minutes to up to two hours depending on the day of week or time of day," the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport shared on X.

"It's about the integrity of the aviation security system," Stahl told Fox News Digital. 

"We don't want to jeopardize that, and we're going to continue to prioritize that in the days ahead."

Adult ADHD stimulant prescriptions are surging, and doctors are raising concerns

Adults are seeking ADHD treatment at record rates. 

A new Canadian study reveals that stimulant prescriptions have more than doubled since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a trend that mirrors similar surges in the U.S., Australia, the U.K. and Finland.

Many mental health professionals say the findings align with what they are seeing in their clinics. 

SIMPLE DAILY HABIT MAY HELP EASE DEPRESSION MORE THAN MEDICATION, RESEARCHERS SAY

The study, which analyzed data from January 2016 to June 2024, found that the demographics of those receiving stimulants have shifted significantly. 

Before the pandemic, 48% of new recipients were female; during the pandemic, that number jumped to 59%. The most significant growth occurred among adults aged 25 to 34.

The researchers also noted that the time between a patient’s first ADHD-related healthcare visit and their first prescription shortened during the pandemic.

By June 2024, the monthly rate of adults being prescribed stimulants reached 10.4 per 1,000 people, a more than sevenfold rise since the start of the study period.

While this could signal more efficient care, it also raises questions about whether patients are receiving thorough evaluations, the study indicated. 

SINGLE DOSE OF POWERFUL PSYCHEDELIC CUTS DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS IN CLINICAL STUDY

Dr. Nissa Keyashian, a California-based board-certified psychiatrist and author of "Practicing Stillness," said the spike was not a surprise.

"In my practice and that of many of my colleagues, many people, particularly women, have received a new diagnosis of ADHD, usually inattentive subtype, in adulthood," Keyashian, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.

Many of these women had symptoms that were overlooked during childhood, the doctor said. 

Unlike the hyperactive or impulsive behaviors often seen in boys, the "inattentive subtype" typically causes fewer disruptions at home or school. 

"Many only begin to struggle when they move out, are on their own and have to provide that structure for themselves," Keyashian noted.

ALWAYS RUNNING LATE? THE REAL COST TO YOUR RELATIONSHIPS MAY SURPRISE YOU

Jonathan Alpert, a New York City psychotherapist and author of the new book "Therapy Nation," said he sees many adult patients who are struggling with focus, productivity and mental overload in a "very demanding digital environment."

TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ

"Those challenges can resemble ADHD, but they don’t always reflect an actual diagnosis," Alpert, who also wasn't involved in the research, told Fox News Digital. "Not every attention problem is ADHD."

"We’re living in a culture that increasingly pathologizes normal human difficulty, and that should be concerning to everyone," said Alpert.

The study also highlighted a shift in who is writing these prescriptions. While the number of stimulants prescribed by psychiatrists remained relatively stable, there was a significant increase in prescriptions from primary care providers and nurse practitioners.

The rise of large telehealth companies during the pandemic could be a contributing factor, according to Keyashian, because there could have been an uptick in diagnoses for individuals who didn't actually have ADHD.

"Medication should treat a disorder, not become a performance enhancer," Alpert noted. "Over time, that can lead to psychological reliance and reinforce the idea that normal struggles require medical solutions."

The researchers acknowledged some limitations of the study, including lack of access to detailed medical records and uncertainty regarding whether these findings apply to all geographic regions.

Some stimulants may have been prescribed off-label as an adjunctive treatment for depression or anxiety, which also surged during the pandemic, they noted.

For those who suspect they may have ADHD, Keyashian recommends seeing a psychiatrist who is well-versed in that specific diagnosis. 

"It's best to ask the physician you are seeing about their experience and expertise," she advised.

"Many people today feel mentally scattered," added Alpert. "The challenge is figuring out whether we’re seeing more [of the] disorder — or simply the cognitive strain of a hyper-distracted world."

The research was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Trump reveals ‘terminal’ diagnosis for sitting congressman, intervention from White House doctors

President Donald Trump said Monday that White House doctors helped treat Rep. Neal Dunn after the Florida Republican was given what he described as a "terminal" diagnosis.

Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., recounted the episode during remarks at the White House, saying Dunn was continuing to work in Congress despite a "pretty grim" outlook.

"He would be dead by June," Trump told reporters.

Johnson said he informed Trump of Dunn’s health challenges and the president suggested involving White House medical staff.

FLORIDA REPUBLICAN REP NEAL DUNN ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM CONGRESS AFTER FIVE TERMS

The speaker said White House doctors arranged for Dunn to receive treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he underwent emergency surgery.

"The man has a new lease on life. He acts like he's 30 years younger," Johnson said.

Trump praised White House doctors as "miracle workers," saying they moved quickly to help Dunn.

"I said, I have to call them. And I called the two doctors. They're both great. And they immediately went over to see the congressman, and he was on the operating table like two hours later," Trump added.

REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS' EARLY RETIREMENT RUMORS SEND SHOCKWAVES THROUGH HOUSE GOP

Dunn, a physician and former Army surgeon who represents Florida’s 2nd Congressional District, announced in January that he would not seek re-election after five terms.

In a statement at the time, the congressman said he wanted to "pass the torch to new conservative leaders, return home to Panama City, and spend more precious time with my family and our beloved grandchildren."

"It has been my greatest honor to fight for lower taxes, our military and veterans, the unborn, healthcare innovation, and policies that empower Americans over bureaucracy and addressing threats from Communist China, Russia and others," he added.

REPUBLICAN LAWMAKER'S EARLY RETIREMENT RUMORS SEND SHOCKWAVES THROUGH HOUSE GOP

As of mid-March, 60 House members, including 23 Democrats and 37 Republicans, have announced they will not seek re-election in the 2026 election cycle, according to the U.S. House of Representatives Press Gallery "Casualty List."

Several Republicans are running for other offices, including governor and Senate, while Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, lost his primary to Steve Toth.
