Good Friday morning. I'm Jake Sherman and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, sponsored by J.P. Morgan Chase.

And I'm Anna Palmer. We've got the scoop on First Lady Melania Trump attending the annual First Lady's lunch hosted by the Congressional Club at the Washington Hilton yesterday.

This year's theme was a new direction, complete with compass tablecloths.

Highlights of the event include Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch's wife, Marie Louise,

Turns out Trump's list was pretty accurate and after some conversations, they all ended up voting

for the bill. Well, it was a big day in the House, let's be real.

The House Republican health care bill is dead on arrival in the Senate. Our colleagues,

Burgess Everett and Jen Habercorn, have a piece filled with a slew of quotes with senators throwing cold water on Trump's big victory. So what's the strategy? Top-level AIDS tell us
