DHS Funding — Still Unresolved
The Department of Homeland Security funding deadline passed February 13th without a deal. DHS is technically in a partial shutdown but continuing operations on funds from last year's reconciliation bill — a temporary fix that won't last. The sticking point: Democrats want accountability measures like body cameras and ID badges for immigration enforcement agents before signing off on new funding.

Social Security Administration — Staffing Crisis
DOGE eliminated over 7,000 SSA employees in 2025, reducing the workforce to its lowest level since the 1960s. The SSA is projecting processing delays of six months or more for disability claims and new retirement enrollments. Local field offices are closing across the country.

Medicaid Work Requirements — Taking Effect Now
The One Big Beautiful Bill requires adults 19–64 on Medicaid to prove 80 hours of work per month to keep coverage. CMS and states are writing the rules right now. The CBO estimates 11.8 million people are at risk — but most losses will be due to paperwork failures, not because people stopped working.
