Today’s notice: Legislation slog sees an end (at least in the House). Trump’s IVF options. An Oval Office fight. And: what the MAGA faithful want.

It was a lot of drama to get here, but in the end, House Republicans passed their One Big, Beautiful Bill with minimal conservative defections this morning.

Only Reps. Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson joined Democrats in voting against the bill (House Freedom Ccaucus Chair Andy Harris voted present). Despite making a dramatic show over the past few weeks by arguing that the legislation didn’t cut enough spending from Medicaid, most Freedom Caucus members changed their minds once they sat down with President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
