Good morning, everyone. I'm Playbook Deputy Editor Zach Stanton. It's Tuesday, February 25th.

Here's what's driving the day. First up a scoop this morning from my colleagues Maya Ward and

Dasha Burns. A group of prominent military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Eric Prince,

has pitched the Trump White House on a proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network

of so-called processing camps on military bases, a private fleet of 100 planes, and a, quote,

small army, unquote, of private citizens empowered to make arrests. The blueprint, laid out in a 26-page document

President Donald Trump's advisors, received before the inauguration, carries an estimated

price tag of $25 billion, and recommends a range of aggressive tactics to rapidly deport

12 million people before the 26 midterms, including some that would likely face legal and operational challenges,

according to a copy obtained by Politico. You can bet that this is going to be one of the day's

biggest stories in Trump world, and you can read it all at politico.com. But the biggest news

story happening in Washington, D.C. today is unfolding on Capitol Hill, as House Republicans

tee up a vote on a giant

fiscal blueprint meant to enact a sweeping amount of President Donald Trump's agenda, adding to the federal debt,

even as it cuts up to $2 trillion in spending. Yet the outcome of the vote is far from certain.

Here to chat with me about that and what to watch for in the House is senior Congress editor Mike Congress editor, Mike De Bonas. Good morning, Mike. Hi, Zach. Hi. So big picture here. Speaker Mike Johnson plans to have a vote today on the one big, beautiful bill that will enact much of Trump's agenda. Does he have the votes at this point in time? I have plans today, Zach. I have plans to return to my family

at a decent hour tonight. But are those plans going to play out as I hope? I don't know. Maybe,

but probably not. And Mike Johnson should feel the same way. He's got a number of his members who

have some questions about this budget and spent some time in his office last night, listening

to him explain why all of their concerns are no big deal and why they should vote for it.

But it is completely unclear this morning whether they are actually convinced.
