TL;DR Summary

Republicans are poised to push a blockbuster $70 billion immigration-enforcement package through an hourslong vote-a-rama, but the path is rocky as some GOP members seek to nix or constrain Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” Tillis would redirect the fund’s $1.8 billion to fraud prevention, while Cassidy proposes prohibiting fund payouts and creating a Capitol defenders fund (and other measures like targeting tax audits of the president). Democrats counter with amendments to block funding and redirect money to health care and cost-of-living relief. The day also features Trump’s attack on four GOP lawmakers who backed an Iran-war resolution, highlighting ongoing intra-party tensions; one of them, Massie, just lost his primary.
