  • When the Star Wars prequels came out, they were polarizing.

  • Many fans of the original trilogy hated the Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones,

  • So we're re-watching them with fresh eyes 20 years later.

  • From Jar Jar Binks to the climactic Nooooo that broke the internet in half,

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.

  • The Republican-led House of Representatives has approved a bill at the heart of President Trump's domestic agenda.

  • NPR's Claudia Grisales reports the legislative win comes after months of GOP party infighting.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson, along with President Trump's help,

  • was able to flip GOP holdouts to get the plan passed by one Republican vote.

  • This is a historic moment.

  • that we will be talking to our children and our grandchildren about and everyone will remember.

  • America's back.

  • The bill will extend a tax package passed under President Trump's first term,

  • install new immigration and energy policy, and raise deductions for state and local taxes.

  • It also includes plans for new Medicaid work requirements,

  • which could threaten coverage for millions of Americans.

  • The bill now heads to the Senate, where there's plenty of talk to change the plan.

  • Claudia Grisales, NPR News.
