- A morning procedural vote cleared the way 217–215 after days of uncertainty over defections from ultraconservative Republicans.
- Speaker Mike Johnson faces a razor-thin margin after a newly seated Democrat from Texas, leaving him able to lose only one Republican if Democrats withhold support.
- Disputes over the Department of Homeland Security’s budget persist as Democrats push for ICE reforms following recent deadly incidents in Minneapolis, including body cameras, a mask ban, and warrants for migrant arrests.
