Shutdown ends with America doubting there was ever any point to it in the first place
Not only are TSA agents getting paid, the whole absurd Homeland Security shutdown will soon end . . . with a whimper, wouldn’t you say?
It leaves all sides in Washington a bit disgruntled and the public (especially those about to fly!) simply relieved.
Senate and House GOP leaders John Thune and Mike Johnson announced Wednesday that they’d pass the bill to fund everything except some immigration-enforcement functions, then cover ICE and so on (which are fine for now thanks to special funding passed last year) in a reconciliation bill (which dodges the Senate filibuster) in a few weeks.

Of course President Donald Trump took the key steps in ending the standoff, first by sending ICE agents to airports to help out and then by issuing an executive order to get TSA agents paid and so remove whatever cudgel Democrats thought they had to force “reforms” to gut immigration enforcement.
Dems must console themselves with the minor satisfaction of not actually voting to fund ICE; Republicans, with not giving in to Democrats’ demands.
Most of America is just glad the seven weeks of lunacy is over; it’s a safe bet that public approval of Congress will dip even lower the next time pollsters ask.
