We start the day's other headlines in# the nation's capital, where pressure is## mounting on Congress to end the Homeland# Security funding fight.

Senate Majority## Leader John Thune says he's given Democrats# what he called a last and final offer.

SEN.

JOHN THUNE (R-SD): Enough is# enough.

Republicans have bent over## backward to negotiate with Democrats.# And now Democrats need to get serious## about funding the Department of Homeland Security.

JOHN YANG: A vote to advance a bill to fund# DHS was halted while senators discussed the## latest Republican offer behind closed# doors.

Democrats have said the proposals## so far don't do enough to put guardrails# on immigration enforcement officers.

Meantime, airport chaos continues across# the country as TSA agents are poised to## miss another paycheck tomorrow.

Nearly# 500 officers have quit the job altogether.## Officials said TSA lines at George Bush# Intercontinental Airport in Houston took## up to four hours and warned they could# only get worse as the weekend approaches.

Florida Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick,# who's been indicted for allegedly stealing## millions in taxpayer money, faced a rare public# Ethics Committee hearing in Congress today.## The bipartisan panel, which hasn't held# a public hearing against a sitting member## of the House in more than 15 years,# began this investigation in 2023.

Members questioned why they should# delay their conclusion as she requests.

REP.

MARK DESAULNIER (D-CA): And the American# people are entitled to demand accountability of## all of us when they're -- if their elected# representatives are without integrity.

JOHN YANG: Cherfilus-McCormick's lawyer# joined the case less than three weeks ago.## The congresswoman has denied any wrongdoing# and has pleaded not guilty to the federal## charges against her.

The result of the ethics# process could bring political consequences,## including possibly getting# expelled from the House.

New York's LaGuardia Airport has# reopened the runway that was the## scene of this week's deadly collision# of an Air Canada jet and a fire truck.## Crews hauled away the wreckage last night.# The mangled plane was taken to a hangar for## passengers to reclaim their belongings.

The# regional Port Authority said clearing the## runway will help one of the nation's busiest# airports return to full operational capacity.

Most of the roughly 40 people who were injured in# the crash have been released from area hospitals.

A federal judge says he will not dismiss the case# against ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro## and his wife because of a dispute involving# their lawyer's legal fees.

Maduro's attorney## said the U.S.

government was violating his# client's constitutional rights by blocking## the Venezuelan government from paying those fees.# The judge said he will rule on the issue soon.

The deposed leader and his wife, Cilia Flores,## have pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking# and weapons charges.

President Trump said today## that the Justice Department will bring other# cases against Maduro, but did not elaborate.

The International Olympic Committee has banned# transgender women from competing beginning with## the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.# This aligns the IOC with President Trump's## executive order barring transgender# athletes from women's college sports.

Athletes wanting to compete in women's events will# have to undergo a one-time genetic test.

Today,## only one openly transgender woman# has competed at the Olympics,## a weightlifter from New Zealand# in 2021, who did not medal.

On Wall Street today, stocks suffered their# biggest loss since the beginning of the war## with Iran.

The Dow Jones industrial leverage# fell by more than 450 points, or 1 percent.

The## Nasdaq plummeted by more than 2 percent and# the S&P 500 had its worst day since January.

And as the men's and women's NCAA basketball# tournaments continue tonight and tomorrow,## there is only one perfect bracket# left among the 40 million entries## tracked across all the major sites.

It# belongs to 14-year-old Otto Schellhammer,## an eighth grader from the Pittsburgh area.

In the ESPN women's March Madness Challenge,# he's correctly picked all of the 48 games## played so far.

There are no perfect men's# brackets.

What makes Otto's achievement## all the more remarkable is that he says he# knows basically nothing about basketball## and doesn't even watch the games.

But now his# mother says he will be watching very intently.

Still to come on the "News Hour": how# climate change has powered a heat wave## that blanketed the West Coast; Germany# debates whether to ban social media for## children; and the newest umpires# in Major League Baseball, robots.
