GOP bill would jail birth tourists to deter anchor babies after birthright ruling

A new House GOP bill would criminalize traveling to the U.S. to give birth by imposing 10-to-25-year prison terms on noncitizen parents and ordering their deportation, aiming to curb birth tourism even as the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship. Rep. Randy Fine argues the move would make such actions extremely unattractive, but critics say it would be punitive and ineffective while doing little to change the citizenship status of the child.

Johnson bets on a handful of holdouts to unlock the GOP agenda

House Republicans race to push a crowded agenda this week, leaning on a small number of holdouts to shepherd votes on a procedural rule, a stopgap funding bill through the midterms, and the must-pass defense policy bill with a reconciliation framework and offsets; some conservatives plan to back the rule while others, including Massie and Davidson, plan to vote no or remain undecided, as Democrats oppose the stopgap without clear pay-fors and the White House pressures the funding and Iran policy dynamics.

GOP seeks Iran war briefing as funding vote looms

House Republican leaders are arranging a briefing on Iran war developments, eyeing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as a possible guest, as they push for more information before voting on a $95 billion package for Iran-related military aid, defense spending, and farm aid amid recent clashes and U.S. service-member deaths; meanwhile Senate discussions on a parallel stopgap funding bill and other Capitol actions add to a busy week ahead.

GOP Split Tests Johnson as Reconciliation Package Advances

House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing a narrow, party-line reconciliation bill—roughly $67B for defense, $20B for agriculture, and SAVE Act provisions—despite a GOP split over strategy and offsets; conservatives balk at no pay-fors on defense, while others want more transparency and a potential bipartisan Iran-war supplemental first. The White House is lobbying aggressively, with meetings at the White House and Camp David, as Johnson aims to lock in support ahead of Budget Committee markup and a House vote, leveraging defense funding inside reconciliation to avoid forcing Democrats to vote directly on military funding.

Labor Secretary Bid Tests the GOP’s Narrow House Margin

A small group of Republicans privately backs Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) for Labor secretary, a nomination that could threaten the GOP’s already slim House majority. The push comes as Trump weighs his next Cabinet pick after Lori Chavez DeRemer’s resignation; White House officials reportedly prefer acting Secretary Keith Sonderling, and Moore would face a Senate confirmation battle despite his union-friendly record and West Virginia ties.

Tax provisions will be the deal-breaker for next GOP reconciliation bill, Smith says

Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith says he won’t back the GOP’s next budget reconciliation measure unless it includes tax provisions, signaling internal pressure as Republicans shape a potential third reconciliation package that could include health-care reforms, energy-permitting tweaks, and other priorities. Johnson has not publicly committed to tax inclusion, highlighting the ongoing scramble to gather enough votes in a razor-thin majority. The live updates also touch on Senate vetting of Hal Duncan for deputy director of the OMB and broader budget/legislation battles, including discussions around Section 702 surveillance and cryptocurrency tax rules.

GOP Targets June Budget Blueprint to Launch Narrow Third Reconciliation

House Budget Chair Arrington says Republicans want to move a June budget blueprint to start a lean third reconciliation bill, with leadership meetings to build consensus and a July timeline in mind. The push comes as GOP leaders discuss tightening the policy scope to six or seven committees, while related fights over NIH funding, the DOJ’s $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, and an immigration enforcement package drive internal party debate and delay votes ahead of Memorial Day recess.

GOP bets on summer reconciliation push as housing, ballroom funding and oversight dominate Capitol Hill

House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are aiming to push a third party-line reconciliation bill before July as they navigate messaging and a crowded policy agenda.

Democrats renew oversight into the Epstein deal, and crypto-ethics negotiations loom ahead of a Thursday markup. Other Capitol Hill notes include Anna Paulina Luna weighing a future RNC chair bid and Rep. Tom Kean Jr. remaining absent due to a medical issue.
