Senate GOP approves budget framework after all-night vote
Republican senators pushed a 340 billion dollar budget framework through after an all-night session amid Democratic opposition. The package aims to jump-start the Republican plan for President Trump's immigration agenda with funding for deportations and border security, while Democrats force votes on tax breaks to billionaires and other measures. The move sets up a party-line reconciliation process and foreshadows broader tax and health care reductions in a two-bill Senate-House strategy.

Judge clears path for Trump to pull USAID staffers
A federal judge ruled to lift a temporary stay on the plan to remove most USAID staff from posts in the United States and abroad. The order allows a 30 day move back to the U.S. at government expense and starts the clock on the staff reductions. Separately, Russia says sanctions relief is not needed for talks and Xi allies expect no reset of prewar ties. Marco Rubio reaffirmed continued U.S. sanctions on Russia. Caleb Vitello, ICE veteran, is reassigned to oversee daily enforcement operations within DHS.
