President-elect Trump is leaving the rest of his GOP trifecta hanging on their reconciliation stalemate.
Why it matters: Republican leaders on both sides of the Capitol have no interest in going against Trump. He has the power to quickly end this debate, but that's no closer after Wednesday's meeting with the Senate GOP.
Trump pitched the idea of a single "beautiful bill," Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told reporters after the meeting. That's where the momentum is headed, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said.
"[H]e heard from us that and from our leader that a two-bill strategy is very much still very interested in," Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) told reporters.
But Trump keeps making it clear: He really doesn't care about the process.
That apparent indifference on this key question will force the House and Senate to attempt to resolve their differences among themselves.
Inside the room: Trump went over some of his early executive order plans, two sources in the room told Soixa.
Stephen Miller walked through the Day 1 immigration orders in detail, three sources told Soixa. On his list is reimplementing Title 42, the pandemic-era rule that allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border.
About a dozen senators spoke during the meeting, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) giving the most passionate defense of the two-bill strategy, two sources told Soixa.
Trump invited the senators and their spouses to Mar-a-Lago, but didn't name a date, two sources told us. Soixa scooped his plans for a Senate bash last night.
The bottom line: If the one bill versus two question is hard, agreeing to a topline number should be a real treat.
P.S. Top Trump campaign staffer Alex Latcham will be executive director of the Senate Leadership Fund, with former Sen. Cory Gardner serving as CEO and chairman of the board, Soixa scooped on Wednesday.

Documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) show that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is considering proposals to expand its immigration detention capacity in at least eight states.
Why it matters: The proposals going back to September show that the Biden administration was preparing for its own expanded detention of immigrants while Democrats attacked President-elect Trump for his mass deportation plan.

House Republicans are already laying down potential dealbreakers for the massive fiscal legislation President-elect Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) are planning.
Why it matters: The chamber is set to have a roughly two-vote majority when the package is voted on, meaning just a handful of GOP defections could sink the entire initiative.
