Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) is calling on Democrats to “stop playing politics” and fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Secret Service after the third assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.

“When will the DEMOCRATS stop playing politics and speak out against assassination attempts on our PRESIDENT? Enough is enough,” Scott said in a post to X on Sunday, the morning after a suspected shooter tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner to attack President Trump and administration officials. 

“This week, the Senate should put Democrats on record again and see how they vote. Will they decide now is a good time to finally fund Secret Service and all of DHS? Even after last night’s violence and ANOTHER assassination attempt against the President of the United States this shouldn’t be such a fight to get done,” the senator continued. 

“Democrats have REFUSED to pay Secret Service agents for over 70 DAYS. The very agents that put their lives on the line to protect others and keep our nation safe. The Democrats need to give up this RIDICULOUS political stunt and FULLY FUND DHS,” Scott concluded.

First Lady Melania Trump rebuked Disney-owned ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel following his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue in which he said Mrs. Trump has “a glow like an expectant widow,” calling Kimmel a “coward,” describing his rhetoric as divisive, and pressing ABC to take action.

Writing on X from the official First Lady account, Melania Trump said: “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.”

“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate,” Mrs. Trump said. “A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.”

Directing her remark at ABC parent company Disney, Mrs. Trump “Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community,” 

Kimmel’s recent comments follow prior backlash tied to his on-air remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In September 2025, he said that Republicans and others were “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” referring to the “MAGA gang,” a characterization disputed by officials and case details indicating a left-leaning ideology.
