It's Tuesday, May 20th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is Wedaday, the show that read this weekend

that champagne is good for your heart and needs no further details. No more information for me.

On today's show, the Supreme Court says the Trump administration can temporarily revoke

deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

And President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have a two-hour chit-chat

over the phone. Fun! But let's get to President Trump's mega bill of entertainment for Republicans, not you.

a group of ultra-conservative Republicans on the House Budget Committee allowed the bill

to move forward by voting present. They'd previously voted no, so their flip kept the bill on life

support. But they still want big cuts to Medicaid in other programs that benefit millions of

Americans. So that means

more changes, with not a lot of time to make them. House Speaker Mike Johnson tried to strike

an optimistic tone yesterday, ahead of more negotiations with dueling factions in his party.

We anticipated all through the process that we would come to this point, and there would be some

minor modifications in a manager's amendment to clean up things. We've got a few issues to resolve, but we're working

with all the interested parties to do that, and I'm confident that we will.

I'm glad you're confident, but with so, so, so many disagreements to haggle over and so few

votes to spare, it's hard to see how the speaker gets all but two or three

House Republicans to yes on the final bill. Some House Republicans want even bigger cuts to Medicaid.
