The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is launching an ad campaign targeting 25 vulnerable House Democrats, urging them to support a forthcoming Continuing Resolution (CR) and holding them responsible for a potential government shutdown, as reported on September 15th, 2025. The campaign arm asserts that these Democrats would be at fault if the government ceases operations. This move by the NRCC escalates the pressure campaign on Democrats regarding the upcoming budget vote. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene stated on September 15th, 2025, that there is "nothing left to talk about with the left," citing the assassination of Charlie Kirk and subsequent celebrations by "millions on the left." She expressed a desire for a "peaceful national divorce" due to the country being "too far gone and too far divided," and criticized the upcoming CR for funding "TRANSGENDER POLICIES, NOT our own Trump policy budget." Greene also stated, "If it weren't for Charlie Kirk, I would not be the Vice President of the United States," according to RapidResponse47. In other news, Karen Attiah announced her termination from the Washington Post on September 15th, 2025, stating her work would continue. This comes as Vice President JD Vance previously confirmed hosting the Charlie Kirk Show from the White House. Previous reports indicated President Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prior to Israel's operation in Qatar, and the U.S. State Department reaffirmed its stance on maximum pressure against Iran. The Pentagon's inspector general completed a review of Secretary Hegseth's use of Signal for military operations, with findings submitted for review and public release anticipated.
