House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday it will be a few days before a government funding package comes up for a vote, all but ensuring the partial federal shutdown will drag into the week as Democrats and Republicans debate reining in the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration enforcement operations.
Johnson signaled he is relying on help from Donald Trump to ensure passage. Trump struck a deal with senators to separate funding for the Department of Homeland Security from a broader package after public outrage over two shooting deaths during protests in Minneapolis against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The measure approved Friday by the Senate would fund DHS temporarily, for two weeks, setting up a deadline for Congress to debate and vote on new restrictions on ICE operations.

The whole point of these people is to manage things. They are failing to do the only thing they exist to do. There is obviously a fundamental flaw in this system.
Let me fix that for you: In a democracy, the whole point of these people
iswould be to manage things.Ya think?
The republican party exists only to extract money and influence. Actually doing their job is of no interest to any of them, unless that “job” is to tear down or punish their competition in any way possible.
