House Republicans are making significant changes to a GOP megabill to ensure it can pass the Senate with a simple majority by removing controversial provisions such as funding for military intelligence, mining in protected areas, and food aid policies, while also addressing Senate parliamentarian concerns. The bill's adjustments are part of a procedural strategy ahead of a Senate vote, with further modifications expected as GOP and Democrat negotiations continue.
