Johnson pushes a second party-line megabill as GOP battles ripple through Capitol

House Speaker Mike Johnson remains bullish about pursuing a second party-line budget reconciliation package, holding meetings with GOP leaders amid skepticism from some committee chairs. In parallel, Republicans push a DHS funding bill with explicit ICE body-camera funding, advance a stock-trading restrictions measure on party lines, and navigate a two-bill spending package through the House as floor chaos and defections threaten votes. Other stories include ongoing investigations into Slotkin and Hillary Clinton, talk of Venezuela war powers, and the possibility of shelving the Save Local Business Act amid a pro-labor revolt, all signaling a turbulent Capitol ahead of looming funding deadlines.

The plan signals broad GOP backing but faces skepticism from moderates and leadership about a clear path forward amid broader Capitol Hill debates and ongoing political tensions.
