President Donald Trump has asked for one "big, beautiful bill" that would fund his agenda and the projects he seeks, including funding for his immigrant deportations and border security. However, deficit hawks are refusing to support any legislation that adds to the deficit.

Politico reported Wednesday that 32 House Republicans are demanding that the budget bill have strict cuts, even if that means Trump's agenda is not fully funded.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was forced to bang her gavel dozens of times as she lost control of a Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee hearing.

During Wednesday's hearing on transgender women in sports, Greene tried to shut down Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM).

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) forced a vote on adjourning a Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee hearing because it focused on transgender women in sports instead of government spending.

During Wednesday's DOGE hearing, Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused "mentally ill biological men" of competing in women's sports, "stealing their competitions, stealing their medals, and stealing their national championships."

In yet another blow to Congressional Republicans' efforts to pass President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" on tax cuts, energy deregulation, and border security, enough lawmakers in the House have drawn a line in the sand that could force Republicans' to cut $500 billion worth of their planned tax cuts from the bill, Politico reported on Wednesday.

"Nothing is final, and Republicans are still hoping for a full $4.5 trillion tax cut, but they’re making contingency plans as colleagues struggle to find agreement on how to cut Medicaid and a slew of other government initiatives," reported Brian Faler and Meredith Lee Hill. "Under Republicans’ budget, the amount of their tax cuts is contingent on them simultaneously cutting spending. They get $4.5 trillion for tax cuts if they reduce expenditures by $2 trillion. If they fall short of $2 trillion, their tax cut allowance is reduced accordingly. If they cut more, the tax cut could also grow."

President Donald Trump reportedly plans to announce during his upcoming trip to the Middle East that the United States will no longer recognize the Persian Gulf, instead renaming it as the "Arabian Gulf."

Unlike his proclamation to rebrand the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," which he has tried to enforce by banning news organizations that won't use the term from the briefing room, or his push to revert military bases back to names honoring Confederate generals, this change has some external geopolitical significance as the other Arab states bordering the Gulf have themselves been pushing for such a name change to be recognized.

On Wednesday, conservative North Carolina state Supreme Court judicial candidate Jefferson Griffin finally conceded to Justice Allison Riggs after he lost his bid in court to exclude votes from the election.

It has been six months since Griffin lost the election by 734 votes, and he has continued to battle in the courts.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) faced backlash Wednesday after she suggested organizations with "all gender" restrooms were guilty of bigotry.

In a post on X, Mace shared a photo of herself outside a unisex bathroom in Texas.

A collection of Republican House members told Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday that they will not support any federal funding cuts to Planned Parenthood.

In March, President Donald Trump's administration cut tens of millions from Planned Parenthood that fell under Title X funding, earmarked for birth control, cancer screenings and STI testing, Politico reported at the time.

After President Donald Trump “gutted” Voice of America (VOA), it may soon come back with a MAGA spin, according to multiple reports.

Trump-appointed loyalist Kari Lake to run the now-defunct outlet in December. In a late-night post, Lake, a former news anchor, announced a partnership between VOA and pro-Trump outlet One America News.
