Axios' Stef W. Kight and Stephen Neukam on what James Braid believes
will be the Roy Beck NumbersUSA cumulative GPA for Donald Trump's MAGA
caucus in Mike Johnson and John Thune's Congress.GOV: <URL:https://www.axios.com/2024/12/19/senate-bipartisan-border-deal-trump>
| A small, bipartisan group of senators have been quietly sketching
| out a possible new border deal for early 2025, Axios has learned.
|
| Why it matters: Border and immigration reform is the white whale of
| Congress. It's also President-elect Trump's No. 1 priority.
|
| Top Senate Republicans plan to move quickly on a border package,
| using the budget reconciliation process to get it done.
| But the idea of a bipartisan border deal that could get 60 votes
| has popped up as GOP infighting drags on over the best path forward
| in Trump's first 100 days.
|
| Zoom in: At least two Trump-state Democrats have been involved in
| the conversations, which Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) described
| as "very" serious and the details "very secret."

"Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer have already started to position
their defenses against DOGE and Trump {SEE HERE}. The committee
chairs and vice-chairs are selected to keep the power of control of
spending away from DOGE/Trump. Republican Chair Susan Collins,
appointed by Thune/McConnell will not willingly let DOGE/Trump
interfere in the way the Senate assigns funds. Ultimately this
distribution is their power center." - Sundance <URL:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/27/outline- of-doge-approach-and-legislative-branch-defenses-starts-to-become-
