Speaker Johnson pushes ahead on funding bill with proof of citizenship mandate despite dim prospectsHouse Speaker Mike Johnson is vowing to press ahead with requiring proof of citizenship for new voters as part of a bill to avoid a partial government shutdown. He's doing so even though the measure appears likely to be voted down. Johnson says the issue of election security is too critical to ignore, though research has shown that voting by non-citizens is extremely rare. It’s also clear that Republicans see value in making House Democrats take another vote on the issue. Congress must pass some form of government funding legislation this month to avoid a partial shutdown starting in October.

He wrote in a letter Sunday to key members of Congress that passing a continuing resolution that caps spending at 2024 levels, rather than taking action on the proposed 2025 budget will hurt thousands of defense programs, and damage military recruiting just as it is beginning to recover after the COVID-19 pandemic. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has teed up a vote this week on a bill that would keep the federal government funded for six more months.

The gaps are hurting the Navy’s ability to fully staff its warships. Navy Vice Adm. Rick Cheeseman tells The Associated Press that the Navy has “not gotten to the point where we can’t do things." All of the military services have struggled in the past several years to attract recruits in a tight job market.
