House Republicans rejected a Senate-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, prolonging a partial government shutdown now in its 42nd day. The Senate deal funded most of DHS but excluded Immigration and Customs Enforcement. President Trump sided with House Republicans, called the Senate bill “not appropriate,” and signed an executive order to pay TSA workers who had missed six weeks of paychecks.

[DataRepublican summarizing what Thune did to get that deal](https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2037568329591009401?s=20)
If at all accurate, then I’m glad House Republicans rejected it, and Thune is a RINO we need to wash our hands of.
