Speaker Johnson has been furious about this.

He didn't want to pass the Senate bill in the first place, according to his own words on the subject.

But he and John Thune put out a statement last night saying,

We appreciate the president's determination to once and for all bring an end to the Democrat shutdown.

In the coming days, Republicans in both the Senate and the House will be following through on the president's directive by fully funding the Department of Homeland Security on two parallel tracks, through appropriations and through the reconciliation process.

So in summary, this goes back to that Senate bill.

The president was able to force the Democrats to the table by giving TSA funding on an emergency basis.

So Democrats cried uncle and allowed a massive Senate funding bill to go through.

But it wasn't everything.

It wasn't everything.

It was limited.

And that's why the House was so upset about this.

And now the president said, you know what?

I'm just going to let all of this funding go through by any means necessary.

Let's get it through.

Upside, there are no restrictions on ICE.

There are no restrictions on ICE.

There's no forcing them to reveal their identities to the insane left.

There's none of this like, you know, oh, we need these –

judicial warrants to freeze up the immigration system.
