Pressure builds on Biden to trim back $3.5T overhaul
President Biden and Democrats face deadlines as two holdout senators demand scale back the proposed $3.5 trillion government overhaul.

Separately in Oklahoma City, the Cherokee Nation and three opioid distributors settled for $75 million, the largest in tribe history, to resolve opioid claims. The payment will be spread over six and a half years.
