And tax cuts. House Republicans are trying to cut at least $1.5 trillion in spending without cutting essential services for programs like Medicaid, which conference chair Lisa McClain says won't happen.

On Capitol Hill, Ryan Schmelz, Fox News. President Trump is calling efforts by Doge a success so far. This despite falling short of their cost-cutting goal following a barrage of legal challenges to their efforts.
