Republicans are being very careful to name Democrats as the problem supposedly holding up funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including TSA.
But on Tuesday it was clear that GOP leadership was far from unified on a path forward to break the stalemate.
In Washington, the House and Senate are out for two weeks. Both chambers have pushed legislation to re-open DHS. Both say the respective bills from each others' chambers have no chance of future passage.
For once, Speaker Mike Johnson isn't the Republican taking fire from all sides.
That honor instead goes to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who faces pressure from the White House as well as Republicans in both chambers to call back his members and resume work on ending the deadlock.
His colleagues in House leadership are not giving him a break.
"The Senate has to do their job and help us on this heavy lift," Speaker Mike Johnson said today on Fox & Friends. "We have to get the government funded, and they're playing games with real people's lives."
That sound you're hearing is the Democratic National Committee absolutely salivating over this Republican disunity.
