But I think the fact that they're considering putting war funding in a party line bill suggests that they know there's going to be political opposition.
That's right.
I think that what you've seen is there are members of Congress who supported, for example, the Lake and Riley Act, who supported tougher border security, tougher immigration enforcement at the time, who have said, look what happened in Minneapolis.
This has gone too far.
We need to rein this in.
And I think the Democrats have been very clear that this is about what ICE is doing.
This is about how the
how uh federal immigration officers are behaving and you know they support some level of stronger border policies broadly as a party um they have really kept the focus on how ice officers behave that they think ice officers should not be wearing masks that they think ice officers should be required to get warrants um and honestly this week as it seems like a deal might be somewhere uh closer than it's been the president has really ramped up the claim that he just made that this is about sanctuary cities and the legal
aliens running everywhere to use his words and this is the same kind of language he used in 2024 when he was trying to drum up fear in the electorate he seems to be reverting back to that as he often does when he's defensive about things like this
Yeah, so here's what I would say about that.
When you talk about the congressional negotiations, there's like the paper, there's the text that goes back and forth, and there's the vibes.
And right now, the paper is pretty far apart.
It seems like Democrats and Republicans are still sort of talking past each other.
But it does seem like there's positive developments.
People are talking in a way they haven't been for the last five weeks.
People seem really eager to get to a deal.
For those of us who don't who don't cover Congress, they were supposed to leave tomorrow for a two week recess.
And John Thune, who's the Senate majority leader, has said, we're not leaving if you guys can't get something done.
And that has actually added to the pressure here.
But at the same time, they have to sell Trump on any deal.
