And then the House bill, which was only backed by Republicans and three Democrats, would

would fully fund the Department of Homeland Security for 60 days, but also does not include any of those reforms.

So there's obviously a lot of room to kind of discuss here in terms of was this even successful in terms of getting any of those reforms made?

And would there even be a window of opportunity for the Democrats to do something like that further down the line?

Yes, so the House of Representatives voted late on Friday night to fund the entirety of the Department of Homeland Security with a 60-day continuing resolution rejecting a compromise in the Senate passed earlier that morning.

This vote was largely along party lines.

It was 213 to 203 with only three Democrats voting to cross the aisle.

Now, this is a very clear rebuke of the Senate because keep in mind the Senate deal carved out ICE and Border Patrol from that funding.

Now, some of that was already funded through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but there's still a lot of personnel in ICE and Border Patrol that are still not getting paid right now.

While House Democrats did approve of the Senate deal, it did seem to be dead on arrival when President Trump publicly expressed his disapproval for the measure.

In terms of the House measure, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said it would also be dead on arrival for their solution.

So he's not thrilled about where things are right now.

Now, the president told Fox News the other day that the Senate deal was not appropriate given the ICE and Border Patrol call-out.

And as part of this, he has doubled down on his call to get rid of the Senate filibuster.

That's that 60-vote threshold to move forward most legislation in that chamber.

Now, this also ties back to his desire to pass the Save America Act.

which is that voter identification bill.

Opponents worry that getting rid of the filibuster would make it easier for Democrats to pass some items that they want with some moderate Republican support.

However, you have people who want to get rid of the filibuster saying that this is very necessary to pass the rest of President Trump's legislative agenda.

Yeah, so obviously people should still be keeping an eye on their flights.
