House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) called the Republican Senate's two-step plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security and then ICE a "joke" and "engineer" of the plan, despite not one GOP lawmaker objecting to it. Johnson claimed that President Trump supports his plan to pass an eight-week DHS funding bill and send it to an empty Senate, where most senators are already out of work. He also accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) of creating the plan. The collapse of the Senate plan was public and public, with both Johnson and President Trump weighing in. The news indicates that Johnson may not have difficulty moving a short-term extension through the House, which was expected to be the easy part of the deal.
