"For the Senate to sit on their hands and do nothing, I think, will be unsustainable."Driving the news: Thune poured cold water on the House's timeline, telling reporters this week that he plans to wait until government funding is resolved before taking up the budget resolution.The reconciliation measure would give billions for the war in Iran, farm assistance and include components of the SAVE America Act.House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) told Axios in a pen-and-pad session Thursday that he expects the White House to ramp up pressure on the Senate."They can say all day long, you know, 'It's going to be hard.'
