Senate republicans rush to resolve tense divisions while Trump increases pressure to adopt his major bill
By Sahil Kapur, Julie Tsirkin, Frank Thorp V and Ryan Nobles
The Medicaid Cups of the Senate bill are too aggressive for politically vulnerable Republicans.
Its clean energy financing cuts are too docile for the republicans of the conservative chamber, who threaten to browse the legislation.
And the $ 10,000 ceiling on state and local tax deductions is a non-start for the main republicans of the blue house.
The Congress directed by the GOP heads towards its own deadline for the adoption of Big Beautiful Bill Act, and it becomes disorderly in the last section while President Donald Trump hangs pressure on the legislators to put it on his desk by July 4.
“To my friends from the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you have to, do not go home and agree this week,” wrote Trump on Truth Social. “Work with the house to be able to recover and pass it, immediately. No one goes on vacation until it is done.”
The adoption of the Party Line Bill in the House and Senate, where the Republicans have three votes to save in each room, will be an intimidating task that requires the acrimonia divisions. The most difficult part will be to settle on a final product that can unify the moderates of the Gop Senate, such as Susan Collins from Maine and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, with the Caucus of the Freedom House Freedom. These two factions tended to take the right deal.
After a meeting of the conference lunch, the head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, RS.D., told journalists that the objective of his room was to pass the bill “through the finish line by the end of the week”, in order to make a package which can win 51 votes in the Senate.
A mid-term warning: Senator Thom Tillis, RN.C., who faces a re -election in a state of the battlefield next year, warned his party at a meeting on Tuesday that they will suffer losses during the 2026 elections if they advanced the proposed medicaid cups. He compared the situation to the heavy losses that the Democrats suffered in the middle of 2014 after a rocky deployment of Obamacare, according to a source in the room.
The meeting came a day after Tillis circulated a document With estimates of the quantity of Medicaid states, the States lost whether the Senate bill adopts, including $ 38.9 billion in northern Carolina, $ 16 billion for Tennessee and $ 6.1 billion for Missouri.

Iran strikes have regained its nuclear program for several months, say sources
By Gordon Lubold, Ken Dilanian, Julie Shi, Rebecca Shabad
A first assessment of the Defense Intelligence Agency concludes that the American air strikes carried out during the weekend on the Iranian nuclear enrichment sites were not as effective as President Donald Trump declared only the country’s nuclear program of three to six months, according to three people knowing the report.
“We assumed that damage was going to be much more important than this evaluation,” said one of the three sources. “This assessment already notes that these base parts are always intact. It is a bad sign for the global program. ”
The evaluation conclusions were reported for the first time by CNN.
The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said reports on intelligence assessment were inaccurate.
“This alleged evaluation is perfectly wrong and has been classified as a top secret ” but has always been disclosed to CNN by a low-level anonymous loser in the intelligence community,” she said in a statement. “The leak of this alleged evaluation is a clear attempt to lower President Trump and discredit the brave hunting pilots who carried out a perfectly executed mission to erase the nuclear program of Iran.”
She added: “Everyone knows what is happening when you drop fourteen bombs of 30,000 pounds perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

Break the state of the race at the town hall of New York during the primary day
Steve Kornacki analysis
The last public survey suggests the potential of an upheaval in the primary mayor Democrat in New York on Tuesday – a result that would be dramatic but which could also end up solving nothing.
The Emerson College / WPIX / The Hill The investigation shows Former governor Andrew Cuomo has the main assembly of the Zohran Mamdani state 36% at 34% in the initial first choice count, Mamdani finally exceeded Cuomo after several classified choice of choice and winning the final total of 52% to 48%.
But some warnings are in order.
First, public surveys in the campaign were rare. Only Emerson and Marist University regularly direct them. And Marist final survey I found a different result, with Cuomo upwards at the start and at the end of the classified choice of choice.
One of these surveys can be much more precise than the other, although there is room for both, because Marist was taken a week earlier and the race could have changed at that time.
The composition of the electorate is also uncertain. Emerson and Marist find that Cuomo has an advantage with the voters who said they would vote in person on Tuesday, instead of participating in a vote or a vote early by mail. But will these voters appear in the figures that the polls expect? It is a snapshot to talk about crucial participation as a variable, but that is there.
In addition, the classified choice vote is still new to New York; This is only the second competition of the mayor since its implementation. It is still rare elsewhere. Thus, no survey point of sale has a deep and well established assessment when it comes to measuring such breeds. That said, Emerson final survey In the primary of the mayor of New York 2021, now the mayor, Eric Adams, was very much ahead of Kathryn Garcia in the final turn, which corresponded almost perfectly to the real result.
