Supreme court to issue opinions, with eyes on high-stakes cases; Trump to meet House speaker to break legislative gridlock - live

Key Points:

• The restrictive Save America Act passed the House but stalled in the Senate due to Democratic opposition and filibuster rules, prompting House Speaker Mike Johnson to propose advancing a grant program tied to the bill via a GOP reconciliation package to bypass the filibuster.
• Some GOP hardliners, led by Representative Anna Paulina Luna, oppose Johnson’s plan, arguing it only creates incentives for states rather than enacting the full legislation, insisting no compromise should be made on the Save America Act.
• Donald Trump rejected the idea of compromise, emphasizing that the Save Act’s key provisions—voter ID, proof of citizenship, and mail-in ballot restrictions—should remain intact without dilution.
• A faction of MAGA loyalists is blocking other House legislation until the Senate acts on the Save America Act, criticizing Senate Majority Leader John Thune for adjourning the Senate for a two-week recess without advancing the bill.
• Amid this legislative gridlock, Speaker Johnson is meeting with Trump to find a way forward, while tensions on Capitol Hill remain high following a contentious Senate lunch and Trump’s cancellation of a bipartisan housing bill.
