Over forty days ago, the federal government entered another partial shutdown after Senate Democrats refused to honor a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security, and a 2-week deal was struck to fund the department.
However, the byproduct of this deal was to give Democrats further leverage to message their outrageous demands on ICE and CBP; meanwhile, DHS was isolated from the rest of government funding.
Senate Democrats got what they wanted: a deal with no ICE or Border Patrol funding. In the middle of the night, the Senate advanced the DHS funding deal by voice vote, sending it to the House.
Mike Johnson rejected the Senate "deal," madder than hell.
Heritage Action’s message to House Republicans is clear: do what you were sent to Washington to do. Republicans were given a trifecta to pass generational legislation, not allow leftists to walk all over them.
Good Night, Patriots!

This demonstrates how the minority party can be the most powerful party in government. Despite Republicans owning the Senate and the House and the White House, they are powerless to accomplish anything at all except those things that are able to be done outside of Congress.
This is why elections hardly matter at all. No matter who is in control, they'll never be able to accomplish anything in Congress because of the way our government is set up. Everything that is accomplished will be done by executive order or by just ignoring the rules and the law.
