President Donald Trump, six months into his complete reimagining of the wielding of executive authority and at the zenith of his political power, could be hours away from the greatest legislative achievement of his career. Trump’s big, beautiful bill, with its aspirational title conveying both a scope and simplicity uniquely Trumpian — Joe Biden’s clunky labeled “Build Back Better” never caught on — is two votes in the House of Representatives away from final passage on the Resolute Desk. The goal is within sight, but first, the master marketer-turned-president known for The Art of the Deal must make the most…
With just hours until they want to start voting, House Republican leaders and White House officials have launched an all-hands-on-deck push Wednesday to get the GOP megabill through the House and to President Donald Trump’s desk.

Multiple groups of holdouts are expected to visit the White House later Wednesday to meet with Trump, who has…

President Donald Trump on Monday signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) implementing a tougher U.S. policy against Cuba’s communist regime and reversing concessions granted by former U.S. President Joe Biden. The memorandum restores the tough stance against the Castro regime implemented by President Trump during his first term and rescinds the Biden administration’s lax measures, some of which allowed the Castro regime — a U.S.-designated state sponsor of terrorism — to financially benefit. “My Administration’s policy will be guided by the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, as well as solidarity with the Cuban people,”…

House GOP leadership is counting on the White House to bear the brunt of the effort to sway hard-line members of the House Freedom Caucus who are threatening to vote against the Republican megabill. “The sense is the White House needs to deliver the Freedom Caucus — that’s the project of the day,” said one person close to leadership, granted anonymity to discuss internal thinking. The House conservatives are concerned that the Senate-passed legislation would add, according to their estimates, more than $600 billion to the deficit as compared to the bill most of them supported in May. The Senate…
