Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
A bill that would provide the Department of Homeland Security with an additional $70 billion
for immigration enforcement is heading to the House after passing the Senate.
NPR's Sam Greenglass reports Democrats opposed the measure, but it also exposed divisions among some Republicans.
There's always been this small camp of Republicans willing to criticize the president.
What I think this blowup did is reveal...
maybe more widespread frustrations below the surface.
And it also tested how far those frustrated members are actually willing to go to push back.
These tensions were already simmering as Trump started endorsing
primary opponents to incumbent members of his own party this spring.
But the thought of taxpayers possibly compensating January 6 rioters may have been a breaking
point for a broader swath of lawmakers who lived through that day.
That's NPR's Sam Greenglass reporting.
The prediction market companies Polymarket
and Kalshi are spending millions of dollars on influencers to promote the sites on social media.
But as NPR's Bobby Allen reports, some of the creators are spreading misinformation about elections.
Polymarket and Kalshi are paying influencers up to $500 per post to spread the word about prediction markets,
where people can bet on everything from the color of President Trump's tie to war to election outcomes.
In recent weeks, some of those paid influencers have been spreading fabrications about the Los Angeles mayor's race,
claiming without evidence that the process has been beset with fraud.
