And that's after this funding is expected to lapse.

Yeah, so most of these asks that we've been talking about from Democrats are not actually new and they were roundly rejected by Republicans during negotiations.

But as we've been talking about, Saturday did seem to jolt that debate again and maybe compel some Republicans at least to feel like they need to do something.

Even if right now...

that does not seem to be changes to the Homeland Security funding bill.

We're hearing Republicans looking at things that they can offer to Democrats outside of the context of this funding debate, things like executive orders, maybe a standalone immigration bill.

But so far, Democrats are saying those promises are not sufficient and they're not going to back down from their position on withholding their votes for the funding bill.

I mean, I think most congressional Democrats will tell you they've been given no real reason to trust the White House.

For weeks, the administration was giving Congress certain assurances about Venezuela.

And then, of course, many lawmakers felt blindsided after that operation a couple of weeks ago.

And so I think we're going to continue to see Democrats trying to press their case in the public sphere.

Similar to what we saw in the last shutdown around the health care subsidies.

Maybe it doesn't result in policy concessions, but it can keep the issue in the forefront of the public imagination.

I think there's still a lot of heartburn from the last one, which was not very long ago and was a record long 43 days.

But you did see a real shift in a very short period of time.

Last week, the

top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee was saying that she was going to support this funding package despite her concerns about federal immigration enforcement tactics.

And after the shooting on Saturday, she reversed and said she could no longer support it.

A couple of the House Democrats, the seven who voted in favor of the Homeland Security funding last week, one of them came out and said he regretted that decision and now sees it as kind of a moral check on the actions of the administration.
