This bill will now head to the Senate where it faces an uphill battle. Here is House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffrey speaking with reporters after the vote.
And we know that that legislation has a majority of support in the United States Senate right now. Every single Senate Democrat and at least four Senate Republicans. John Thune needs to bring democracy. the bill up for a vote immediately.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. We go to Oregon next, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot and wounded two people. The Department of Homeland Security said the agents acted in self-defense, and DHS said the agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop involving a person from Venezuela who was said to be affiliated with the gang Tren de Aragua. Portland Mayor Keith Wilson is now calling on federal law enforcement to halt all operations in Portland.
Portland is not a training ground for militarized agents. When the administration talks about using full force, We are seeing what it means on our streets. The consequences are not abstract. They are felt in hospital rooms and living rooms, in the quiet moments when families try to make sense of what happened, what is happening. We know what the federal government says happened here. There was a time when we could take them at their word. That time is long past.
That is Portland Mayor Keith Wilson. In the city of Minneapolis, tensions remain high after the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent on Wednesday. Homeland Security officials and President Trump say the ICE agent acted in self-defense. Here is Vice President J.D. Vance.

What recent legislation was passed regarding ACA subsidies?

Vice President J.D. Vance, now the head of Minnesota's Investigations Agency, says the U.S. Attorney's Office is preventing it from taking part in the investigation. Here is Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Very, very difficult for Minnesotans to think in any way this is going to be fair. When Kristi Noem was judge, jury and basically executioner yesterday, that's very, very difficult to think that they were going to be fair. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The Senate voted to advance legislation opposing further military action in Venezuela. Five Republicans crossed party lines to join all Democrats on a procedural vote. And President Trump reacted by saying Republicans should be ashamed of these senators who broke rank.
Trump added they should never be elected again.
What are the implications of the House vote on ACA subsidies?
Here is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Meantime, more than a dozen oil executives are slated to meet with President Trump and top officials at the White House to discuss the potential revival of Venezuela's oil production.
