Trump Signs Executive Order at White House (June 29)

“I have not lost control of the House,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) says on Wednesday, after four Republicans break ranks to force a vote on extending COVID-era Obamacare subsidies. With these subsidies going to insurance companies, Republicans say this is driving up premiums. We discuss the issue with Hyma Moore and Amanda Makki.

The battle over health care subsidies ramps up, as the Senate passes the annual defense policy bill. Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith also faces questions from lawmakers in a closed-door interview.

President Donald Trump will address the nation Wednesday night on his administration’s 2025 successes, amid heightened tensions with Venezuela. And the president calls the FBI’s 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate "unreasonable search and seizure."

How is the Venezuelan oil blockade carried out in action? And is this all part of a bigger strategy of pushing Russian and Chinese influence out of the Western Hemisphere? We hear from Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis.
