Senate and House Republicans revived a deal that Trump and the House G.O.P. rejected last week.
Senate and House Republicans announced an agreement on Wednesday to move ahead as early as Thursday morning with legislation to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, resurrecting a bipartisan deal that President Trump and the House G.O.P. angrily rejected last week.
The plan would fund the department through Sept. 30 but omit money for the agencies carrying out Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown. Republicans said Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol would continue to be paid for out of funds they pushed through Congress last year over Democratic objections.

The strongest impetus for a deal — the hourslong security lines at some U.S. airports — is already dissipating.
Not a good headline to wake up to, especially as hurricane season is near
