Republican leaders Mike Johnson and John Thune have reached a deal to end the 47-day Homeland Security shutdown using a two-track funding plan supported by President Trump. The strategy aims to decouple broader DHS funding from contentious ICE and Border Patrol budgets.
Mediaite and Reuters highlight Thune’s success in securing a unanimous Senate vote for the funding bill as a bipartisan breakthrough. In contrast, right-leaning outlets like The Washington Examiner emphasize the friction between Thune and House Republicans, while Alipac frames his strategy as following direct orders from Donald Trump.
