Whats in the GOP megabill Trump is rallying behind House Republicans are pressuring the Senate to advance their reconciliation package as President Trump pushes for quick action.Why it matters: The roughly $95 billion package is House Republicans latest effort to enact Trumps priorities without Democratic votes using the reconciliation process.The framework already cleared some early hurdles, but House Republicans are pressing the Senate to move quickly to keep Trumps legislative agenda on track before the midterm elections.The reconciliation plan would require a simple majority in the Senate and avoid the 60-vote filibuster."We are ready to work side-by-side with the Senate to get this done for the American People!" Trump wrote on Truth Social last week.Here are key elements of the plan.Iran war and military operationsThe budget bill instructs the House Armed Services and House Intelligence committees to draft legislation that could increase the deficit by up to $73 billion combined.The Armed Services Committee has a cap of $60 billion, while the Intelligence Committee has a cap of $13 billion.This would mainly aid defense priorities, which experts say likely includes military operations tied to the Iran war — a conflict that has already cost more than $37.5 billion since it began in February.State of play: Last week, the House again rebuked the Iran war by passing a resolution to curb Trumps military campaign.The vote came after three U.S. troops were killed in the region earlier in July.The resolution is largely symbolic and carries no force of law.Farm aidThe resolution allows the House Agriculture Committee to draft legislation increasing the deficit by up to $12 billion — funding expected to help struggling farmers.This is separate from the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 that passed the House earlier this year. That package is still awaiting passage in the Senate.What theyre saying: The American Farm Bureau Federation celebrated the decision."We applaud members of the House of Representatives for recognizing the economic toll facing farm country and advancing farm aid as part of their reconciliation package," AFBF said in a statement.SAVE America ActThe bill calls for the House Administration Committee to make changes to law that will increase the deficit by a maximum of $10 billion.Because the committee oversees federal election law, any legal changes are expected to go toward implementing aspects of the SAVE America Act — a major political priority of Trump.The other side: Elements of the SAVE Act funding have drawn criticism from some conservatives, who posit that the cash wont be used as intended.Rather than including the full SAVE Act, the package offers grants to states to adopt voter ID requirements."Thats just free money for Florida," Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) said of the grant program last week, Axios previously reported. Blue states "will never take the grant money. Im not a big fan of carrots. I like sticks."Senate and the reconciliation billWhats next: Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has shown some resistance to the reconciliation bill, but House Republicans are increasing pressure on the Senate to pass the package, Axios reports.Thune said he plans to wait until government funding is resolved before tapping into the budget resolution.The White House is expected to turn up the heat on Senate Republicans, too.What were watching: Trump has publicly urged the Senate to pass the bill.On Monday, the president urged Thune to keep the Senate in town until the SAVE America Act passes, another sign hes pressing senators to move quickly.Go deeper: Democrats hit the anti-incumbency trap

How the Supreme Court deepened uncertainty over Temporary Protected Status Legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians in the U.S. have ended after the Supreme Court upheld the termination of their Temporary Protected Status, a ruling that could reshape the programs future.The big picture: The justices limited courts ability to review Homeland Securitys TPS decisions — making challenges harder and leaving hundreds of thousands of people at risk of losing legal status, work authorization and protection from deportation.Established in 1990, TPS protects nationals of designated countries fleeing extraordinary circumstances."The ripple effects of this are going to be really big" and "really impactful for not only the TPS holders themselves, but for everyone in their communities," says Esther Sung, the Justice Action Centers legal director.State of play: The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for nationals of more than a dozen countries, complicating legal challenges after the high courts decision.At the start of President Trumps term, per the American Immigration Council, around 1.3 million people had TPS. Since then, hundreds of thousands have lost TPS protections.What theyre saying: DHS pointed Axios to government webpages on TPS, said recipients without another lawful immigration status will be subject to deportation "once TPS ends," and urged them to use the administrations self-deportation app."If people want to come to our country to work, they need to do that by coming here the legal way," a DHS spokesperson said Tuesday, rejecting the argument that ending TPS would hurt industries including health care, construction, logistics and restaurants.USCIS spokesperson Zach Kahler said DHS was "upholding the rule of law" and argued the Biden administration improperly used TPS to extend protections beyond the programs intended scope.Yes, but: The revocations are "absolutely without precedent, by huge orders of magnitude of any sort of revocation of status in the modern immigration system," says FWD.us president Todd Schulte.Advocates warn the terminations could deliver an economic blow. Roughly 80 of TPS holders participated in the labor market, per a 2025 Penn study. "I think people are going to really want to know why it is that the person who was their kids teacher, the person who was a parent in their kids classroom, left or got taken — or the healthcare worker, or the construction worker, the accountant," Schulte says.What were watching: TPS designations for nationals of other countries are also moving toward possible expiration. That includes protections for some 170,000 Salvadorans, valid through Sept. 9 but potentially ending after over two decades."I dont have high hopes for TPS for any of the designated countries under this administration," Sung says.Zoom out: Litigation over TPS terminations in Burma, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Somalia is ongoing, with challengers regrouping following SCOTUS decision.Last week, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy temporarily delayed the termination of protections for Ethiopians, a move DHS general counsel, James Percival, framed as "mutiny against the Supreme Court." But American Immigration Council senior fellow Dara Lind tells Axios: "The TPS challenges that are still working their way through the courts, even potentially future TPS terminations ... are going to have to meet a standard that the previous lawsuits havent."Zoom in: "TPS recipients are survivors," says Chris Newman, legal director for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. He says recipients are sharing information and support on WhatsApp, Signal, and in Facebook and Instagram groups.The consequences of stripping their status will be "calamitous," he warns — but he predicts it will galvanize public support."What youre going to see now, I think, are tons of mixed-status families, children with citizenship, employers, principals, pastors, full-scale revolting against this move," Newman says.Whats next: Those losing legal status face a reshaped immigration system.Sung tells Axios: "This is the story of the Trump administration in immigration: Its trying to close the doors, and then all the windows as well."Go deeper: Axios Explains: The past and present of Temporary Protected StatusEditors note: This story has been updated with comment from DHS and USCIS.

Thune and Johnson both plan to attend Trumps Dallas convention House and Senate Republican leaders are heading to Dallas to embrace the president who has done the most to shape — and complicate — their political fortunes.Why it matters: Majority Leader John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson dont have much of a choice about attending Septembers midterm convention. President Trump doesnt tolerate high-profile dissent, and both leaders know their best chance of staying in power is by staying united.But for Republicans in tight races, the two-day political extravaganza presents a difficult choice.They can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump, raise money from big-dollar donors and bask in the MAGA media glow.Or they can stay home and create some separation from a president whose approval ratings are sinking.Zoom in: Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers, who is running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, are both planning to attend, according to people familiar with the matter. So is Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, another GOP Senate candidate.However, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), the only Republican who represents a state that President Trump lost, is unlikely to make it and will be campaigning in her home state, according to a person familiar with the matter.Spokespeople for Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio), Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa), Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) and Michael Whatley, the GOP Senate nominee in North Carolina, declined to comment or didnt preview their boss plans. Hinson and Collins are also seeking Senate seats. In addition to Johnson, Majority Leader Scalise (R-La.) and Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) plan to attend. National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) are both scheduled to be in Dallas.Zoom out: The Sept. 9-10 convention is still six weeks out, and senators and representatives have never been confronted with a mid-September, mid-cycle political convention.Party committees are starting to ask donors about attendance, but details — and programming — are sparse."The upcoming Midterm Convention is an opportunity for Republicans across the country to rally behind President Trumps America First agenda thats brought lower drug prices, lower taxes, and a secure border," RNC national press secretary Natalie Baldassarre said.What theyre saying: "Im proud that Dallas will host the RNC Midterm Convention this September," said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)."Texas is leading the nation in defending freedom and advancing conservative principles, and I look forward to welcoming Republicans from across America as we celebrate the landmark victories achieved this Congress and work together to elect Republicans up and down the ballot in November." The intrigue: For all the sniping between Trump and Thune this week, the majority leader recognizes that he and Senate Republicans stand a better chance of victory by presenting a united front.But hell be in Dallas during a Senate recess that the president wants canceled until the SAVE Act is passed.The bottom line: The convention is expected to be part pep rally, part "Friday Night Lights": Clear eyes, full hearts — and Republicans hope the last line writes itself.

El Gobierno indulta a Natalio Grueso por razones humanitarias tras su condena por apropiarse de fondos de la Fundación Niemeyer Grueso fue condenado a ocho años de prisión porque no pudo justificar alrededor de 78.819 euros en la contabilidad El Gobierno de Pedro Sánchez ha acordado antes del parón veraniego conceder cinco indultos parciales. Uno de ellos es al artista y gestor cultural Natalio Grueso, que fue condenado a 8 años de prisión, 8 de inhabilitación y una multa por apropiarse de fondos de la Fundación Niemeyer a través de facturas falsas o manipuladas con las que se lucró tanto él como familiares y amigos. Con esta medida de gracia el Ejecutivo le indulta de la pena privativa de libertad pendiente de cumplimiento. La nota de prensa del Ejecutivo explica que este indulto fue solicitado por numerosos artistas y personas del sector audiovisual y responde a motivos humanitarios dado su estado de salud. Precisamente el pasado mes de marzo el tribunal de la Audiencia Provincial de Asturias que juzgó y condenó a Grueso, ex director general del Centro Cultural Internacional Óscar Niemeyer, ubicado en Avilés, emitió un informe desfavorable a la petición de indulto instada por el cantautor catalán Joan Manuel Serrat, premio Princesa de Asturias de las Artes 2024, y a la que se adhirieron otras 70 personas. En el informe de la Sala, al que accedió Eldiario.es Asturias se estimaba que la fuga que protagonizó el ex director general para eludir su ingreso en prisión debía jugar en su contra a la hora de obtener esta medida de gracia. En ese informe, el tribunal se oponía a la concesión de un posible indulto al mantener que ni se ha producido actuación del penado, ni ingreso voluntario en Centro Penitenciario, que le hagan acreedor del beneficio solicitado. Al expediente tramitado, del que se dio traslado a las partes, se incorporaron tanto un informe de conducta de la Delegación del Gobierno en Madrid como un informe negativo del Ministerio Fiscal, que señalaba que Grueso no cumplía con los requisitos porque no ha estado a disposición del tribunal sentenciador para el cumplimiento de la condena, una de las excepcionalidades recogidas en la legislación para ser susceptible de ser indultado. Natalio Grueso huyó del país al ser confirmada su condena por el Tribunal Supremo (TS) por su autoría en un delito continuado de malversación de caudales públicos en concurso medial mercantil y oficial y un delito continuado societario. Durante más de dos años permaneció fugado de la Justicia a raíz de que el alto tribunal declarara la firmeza de la sentencia condenatoria y se decretara su inmediato ingreso en prisión. Consta que el ex director general del Niemeyer se sustrajo a la acción de la Justicia hasta en dos ocasiones. Grueso, finalmente, fue detenido por las Fuerzas de Seguridad de la República Portuguesa en virtud de Orden Europea de Detención y Entrega. Entre los artistas de reputación nacional e internacional se citaban en la petición de indulto expresamente a los cantantes Ana Belén, Víctor Manuel y Javier Gurruchaga, el actor Pedro Ruíz, el presidente de la Asociación de Intérpretes Luis Cobos, el director del estudio de arquitectura Niemeyer Jair Rojas, así como a varios periodistas de los principales grupos de comunicación del país. Entre otros aspectos, se destacaba en estos escritos que prácticamente todos los espectáculos que se programaron con motivo de las funciones que desarrollaba en la Fundación Niemeyer consiguieron una aceptación popular que desbordó todas las previsiones. Entre otras, se cita expresamente cómo la labor de promoción y difusión que llevó a cabo durante su etapa logró la participación de figuras de la categoría mundial de Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey, Paulo Coelho, Jessica Lange, Paco de Lucía, o Bárbara Hendricks. Entre sus logros se incluye la presentación del programa de Educación de la ONU, el encuentro del G8 de la cultura y estrenos mundiales de películas y obras teatrales, entre otras actividades. Otro apartado con el que se justificaba el indulto era, en opinión de los firmantes, el papel de la Fundación como productora de contenidos, un capítulo donde Natalio Grueso tuvo un papel destacado con la exposición Luz del director de cine Carlos Saura, en este caso por su faceta como fotógrafo, o la obra de la bailaora y premio Princesa de Asturias de las Artes María Pagés dedicada a Óscar Niemeyer y el Ricardo III de Sam Mendes, en colaboración con otros productores de diversos países.

Scoop: Trump asks Supreme Court to overturn $83M judgment for E. Jean Carroll President Trumps lawyers are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the $83.3 million defamation judgment he was ordered to pay to E. Jean Carroll, Axios has learned.The judgment stemmed from Trumps 2019 statements in which he denied Carrolls claim that hed sexually assaulted her in the 1990s and attacked her credibility, accusing her of making up the allegation.Driving the news: Trumps lawyers argue hes entitled to presidential immunity because he made the comments while he was serving as president in response to reporters questions, which centered on his fitness for office.State of play: Trumps lawyers unsuccessfully appealed the $83.3 million judgment to the federal appeals court in the 2nd Circuit.Now, in their filing to the Supreme Court, the presidents team is arguing that the appeals court never decided whether presidential immunity applied in the case, and that the appeal was rejected on procedural grounds.They argue that if the ruling stands, it will constitutionally weaken future presidents by exposing them to liability for statements made while in office.The backstory: Carroll, a New York writer, in 2019 accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s. Trump denied it, setting off years of litigation.In May 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and for defaming her in statements he made in 2022, awarding her $5 million. In January 2024, a different jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million for Trumps 2019 statements.What to watch: The Supreme Court is dealing with Carroll-related litigation for the second time in two months.In June, the court declined to hear Trumps appeal of the $5 million verdict.Trumps team has asked the court to reconsider that judgment.Axios has reached out to Carrolls legal team for comment.This is a developing story and will be updated.
