McConnell proposes Senate vote on homeland security funding bill
The Senate considers a stand-alone funding bill for Homeland Security to avert a partial shutdown, stripping immigration provisions. Senate Democrats and House Republicans remain divided, with Obama and Boehner signaling cautious positions. Ted Cruz criticizes the plan as insufficient to curb executive action. A separate repeal measure on immigration and an order shielding young immigrants are also in play, amid divided government dynamics.

Obama budget plan tightens tax on inherited retirement accounts
Obama proposes accelerating taxes on 401k and IRA inheritances for non spousal heirs. Under the plan, beneficiaries such as children or partners would must deplete inherited accounts within five years, possibly pushing them into higher tax brackets, with limited exceptions for disabled or chronically ill individuals or closely aged heirs. Although spouses are exempt, the change aims to align tax treatment with retirement savings intent and boost early revenue.
