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.

Swift, Narrow Reconciliation Push Aims to Short-Circuit Budget Fight

House Speaker Mike Johnson and the White House are pursuing a rapid, narrowly focused reconciliation bill to move by the end of next week, prioritizing defense and farm aid (including about $70 billion for Iran-related defense and $20 billion for agriculture) and incorporating the SAVE America Act. The plan would be drafted by four committees and is likely to evolve as lawmakers weigh priorities; conservatives’ support is sought, but the bill’s fate remains uncertain in the Senate and amid Johnson’s prior pledge for a larger package.

Capitol Standoff Edges Toward Thaw as GOP Considers Border-Policy Trades

House Republicans are close to unfreezing floor business after a hard‑line bloc pressed for concrete border‑policy steps, including tying the SAVE America Act to must‑pass bills and signaling a reconciliation package. Anna Paulina Luna lifted her hold on floor action on those terms, though some Budget Republicans want language before any markup. The effort faces skepticism and a rocky path to a Tuesday rule vote, with the Senate and Democrats signaling resistance and planning to block the NDAA over Iran policy; a new Senate Budget chair is set to take over later this term.

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.

Ballroom funding stalls in GOP budget plan after WHCD shooting

Funding for the White House ballroom cannot be folded into the GOP’s party-line immigration enforcement reconciliation bill, according to three aides, threatening a roughly $400 million project and prompting fallback options like standalone legislation. Senate leadership is noncommittal and Democrats are unlikely to back the ballroom; a court has halted construction pending explicit authorization. The WHCD shooting has spurred security reviews and calls to tighten Secret Service protocols, with hearings and security overhauls anticipated.

Immigration funding push could strand Pentagon money amid Iran-war debate

Senate Republicans are pursuing a fast-track immigration-enforcement funding bill that could strand or reallocate Pentagon funds, with talk of attaching Iran-war spending and other defense money to a larger reconciliation package. GOP leaders say they’ll try to pass defense spending if Democrats join, but Rand Paul is undecided and some conservatives warn about debt. Lindsey Graham hints at a broader third reconciliation or bipartisan back-up plan, while House support remains uncertain as the year progresses.

GOP Senators Eye Reconciliation Route to Reopen Homeland Security

GOP senators say they’ve found a path to end the five-week DHS shutdown by proposing a funding plan that would fund all of DHS except specific ICE provisions, with Trump signaling openness to a reconciliation bill that could fund more ICE and elements of the GOP’s SAVE Act, though Democrats and Republicans still need to seal a deal and secure votes.
