It's make-or-break week in the House for President Donald Trump's 'one big, beautiful bill.' House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday he still believes his party can pass the president's legislative agenda by the GOP's self-imposed deadline of Memorial Day. But deep divisions remain within the caucus over cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, state and local tax deductions, and the bill's implications for the national debt. Marianna Sotomayor, who covers the House for The Washington Post, breaks down the roadblocks facing House Republicans. And in headlines: The Supreme Court said the Trump administration can temporarily revoke deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a two-hour phone call to discuss a ceasefire with Ukraine, and the Justice Department is set to pay nearly $5 million to the family of a Trump supporter who was fatally shot by police during the insurrection.

  • It's Tuesday, May 20th.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What Today,

  • the show that read this weekend that champagne is good for your heart and needs no further details.

  • No more information for me.

  • Just bottles.

  • On today's show,

  • the Supreme Court says the Trump administration can temporarily revoke deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

  • And President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have a two-hour chit-chat over the phone.

  • Fun!

  • But let's get to President Trump's mega bill of entertainment.

  • For Republicans, not you.

  • Because this week is make or break for the bill in the House.

  • If lawmakers want to stick to their deadline of passing Trump's one big,

  • beautiful bill before Memorial Day.

  • As you may know, Memorial Day is Monday.

  • And right now, things are trending more toward break.

  • Very late Sunday night,

  • a group of ultra-conservative Republicans on the House Budget Committee allowed the bill to move forward by voting present.

  • They'd previously voted no, so their flip kept the bill on life support.

  • But they still want big cuts to Medicaid and other programs that benefit millions of Americans.
