- Capitol agenda: Johnson leans in on GOP holdouts
Speaker Mike Johnson faces challenges securing Republican votes for a procedural rule to advance legislative priorities, including a stopgap funding bill and defense legislation. GOP holdouts like Thomas Massie and Chip Roy threaten progress, while Democrats oppose funding for immigration enforcement agencies, complicating bipartisan efforts.
- Only Trump can end his own blockade
President Donald Trump's focus on a GOP voter ID bill is blocking Congress from passing a surveillance law and a bipartisan housing bill. House Speaker Mike Johnson met with Trump to address the legislative stalemate, but it remains unclear whether Trump will take action to resolve the impasse.
