The Wisconsin Supreme Court today formally struck down an abortion ban from 1849 that had technically retaken effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights.

In a 4-3 decision that came down along ideological lines, the court’s liberal majority affirmed a lower court ruling that overturned the 176-year-old ban and left in place a more recent law in Wisconsin allowing most abortions until about the 20th week of pregnancy.

Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, arrived at Capitol Hill this morning wearing pajamas after an overnight drive in a van with staffers from her state.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., expressed concern in a post on X this morning over the Trump administration’s decision to halt weapons shipments to Ukraine.

“I will be aggressively looking into this matter and will be demanding accountability,” he wrote. “We must build up our own Defense Industrial Base here in the U.S. while simultaneously providing the needed assistance to our allies who are defending their freedom from brutal invading dictators. To not do both is unacceptable.”

NBC News reported yesterday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause in a shipment of missiles and ammunition to Ukraine because of concerns over the U.S. military’s stockpiles.

House Republican leaders are advising members that the chamber will vote on the rule for floor consideration of the Senate-passed domestic policy bill in the 11 a.m. hour. 

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s office also said it expected a vote on a Democratic procedural motion in the 9 a.m. hour. That vote could be on a Democratic motion to adjourn, which would force a House vote and slow things down. 

If the House adopts the rule on the bill, then lawmakers can debate the legislation for an hour and move to final passage. Democrats could continue to offer procedural motions to slow things down, making the timing of a passage vote unclear. 

Conservative holdouts are headed to the White House at 11 a.m. to discuss the legislation with Trump. Republicans can afford just three defections if every member is present, and attendance is being closely monitored because of flight cancellations and delays due to severe weather.

A federal judge in New York yesterday blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary legal status for more than 500,000 Haitians who are already in the United States.

District Court Judge Brian M. Cogan in New York ruled that moving up the expiration of the temporary protected status, or TPS, by at least five months for Haitians, some of whom have lived in the U.S. for more than a decade, is unlawful.

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., who voted against the GOP domestic policy bill in the House Rules Committee late last night, told NBC News that he and a group of Republican holdouts are going to the White House at 11 a.m. to discuss the bill with Trump and his team. 

Norman, like many House conservatives, is unhappy with the changes the Senate made to the bill.

“I’m sure he’s going to be mad,” Norman said of Trump. “But I don’t know what to tell him.”

Norman could not give an example of what would change his mind to vote yes on the package in its current form. He made clear he would not be swayed by promises of future reconciliation packages.

“The only thing driving this is the tax cuts,” he said. “Once that goes away, how are we going to get anything passed?” 

Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump that had alleged an interview that aired on CBS’ “60 Minutes” last year with Kamala Harris, his Democratic opponent for the presidency, was deceptively edited.

The agreement in principle, proposed by a mediator, includes plaintiffs’ fees and costs and — except for fees and costs — will be allocated to Trump’s future presidential library, Paramount Global said in a statement late yesterday. Paramount is the parent company of CBS.

Trump said yesterday that Israel has “agreed to the necessary conditions” to finalize a ceasefire deal in the Israel-Hamas war.

“My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War,” Trump said on Truth Social.

“The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal,” he added. “I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.”

There was no evidence of the onetime rivalry between Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis yesterday as they came together in a common cause: opening an immigrant detention center in the swampy heart of Florida.

Trump and his top deputies visited the Everglades, where Florida officials delivered a win for his anti-immigration agenda and positioned the state on the forefront of his crackdown.

The facility, which Republican leaders dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” is set to house 3,000 detainees and took just eight days to construct.

“It might be as good as the real Alcatraz,” Trump told reporters yesterday. “It’s a little controversial, but I couldn’t care less.”

The House is expected to turn to the Trump-backed GOP agenda bill today after the Senate narrowly passed the sweeping domestic policy package yesterday following a marathon overnight session that spanned more than 24 hours and saw votes on dozens of amendments.

The House Rules Committee advanced the legislation in a 7-6 vote overnight after a 12-hour meeting. Freedom Caucus members Ralph Norman, R-S.C., and Chip Roy, R-Texas, sided with Democrats in opposing the measure. 

The bill now heads to the floor this morning for an hour of debate on the rule starting as early as 9 a.m.
