Senator Thune led the Senate in passing a DHS funding bill and announced a deal with Speaker Johnson on a future funding track.
The Senate passed a DHS funding bill to end a partial shutdown, but the House remained in recess. Meanwhile, President Trump announced plans to sign an executive order to pay DHS employees despite the legislative stalemate.

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.
