Good morning, Sam.

So these subsidies, which some 22 million Americans get, have been in place since the pandemic.

Now, we know that without them, premiums could double or triple.

So why are we down to the wire here on addressing this?

Tell us more about the fault lines here.

Is it strictly along party lines?

But there are some moderate Republicans who do want to preserve the subsidies, at least temporarily.

What happened to that effort?

NPR congressional reporter Sam Greenclass.

Sam, thank you.

The White House chief of staff offered some edgy assessments of President Trump and others in the administration.

Susie Wiles gave her opinions, not in some passing remark, but in months' worth of interviews.

NPR White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben is here to talk about that fallout.

Good morning, Danielle.

Hey, Michelle.

So what was in this piece that got so much attention?

Well, that sounds like she really gave her unvarnished take on things.

I mean, I guess some people think that she was being harsh.

OK, so quickly, Danielle, the Trump administration at war with the media is not a new thing.

So why is this such a big deal and why the concerted pushback?
