House debates Trump's agenda bill and Pentagon pauses Ukraine shipment: Morning Rundown

The Republican-led House seeks to pass the bill for Donald Trump’s agenda before the end of the week.

The Republican-led House seeks to pass the bill for Donald Trump’s agenda before the end of the week. The Pentagon pauses a shipment of weapons to Ukraine. And jurors reach a verdict in four of the five counts against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Here’s what to know today.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is racing against a July 4 deadline to approve the sweeping domestic policy package for President Donald Trump’s agenda after it cleared the Senate. The bill might not have an easy path to passage in the House, where Republicans can only spare three votes and changes made by the Senate could be met with opposition.

The Senate narrowly passed the legislation yesterday in a 51-50 vote. Vice President JD Vance broke the tie after three Republicans — Sens. Rand Paul, Thom Tillis and Susan Collins — joined all Democrats in opposing the legislation. In the marathon overnight session that spanned more than 24 hours, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his team made several eleventh-hour changes to appease holdouts like Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who had expressed concerns about the bill’s cuts to social safety net programs.
