It's becoming increasingly difficult for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to keep his party in line to pass President Donald Trump's massive spending and tax bill.

From concerns about Medicaid cuts to creating a rural hospital relief fund, the Senate GOP appears to be nowhere close to an agreement on substantial parts of the bill.

A new report suggests that President Donald Trump's administration sent National Guard troops in Los Angeles to assist the Drug Enforcement Administration in a law enforcement operation about 130 miles outside the city, in a move that experts say seems unlawful.
