A split forms in MAGA world as Trump weighs next steps on Iran, with some top stars rebuking him
A schism has opened among President Donald Trump's most devout MAGA supporters and national security conservatives over the Israel-Iran conflict , as some longtime defenders of the president's America First mantra call him out for weighing a greater U.S. role in the region. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, commentator Tucker Carlson and conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk — with legions of their own devoted followers — are reminding audiences of Trump's 2024 promises to resist overseas military involvement after a week of deadly strikes and counterstrikes between Israel and Iran, and discussion of U.S. involvement.

The Senate Wants Billions More in Medicaid Cuts, Pinching States and Infuriating Hospitals
The Senate policy bill released Monday would cut billions of dollars more from Medicaid than the earlier, House-passed legislation — in large part by cracking down on a budgeting maneuver used by 49 states that congressional Republicans have called a scam or gimmick. It does this by limiting Medicaid provider taxes, a loophole that states use to collect more federal matching funds for Medicaid, an insurance program for the poor that covers roughly 70 million Americans. For decades, taxing providers like hospitals has been a major part of how states pay Medicaid bills, but this tactic has come under scrutiny in Congress this year as Republicans look for ways to help pay for President Trump's tax cuts. Cutting provider taxes would probably mean funding shortfalls of hundreds of billions of dollars for states over the next decade, leaving them with budget holes to fill. To offset the losses, states would most likely need to explore cutting other services or raising other taxes. In scaling back Medicaid provider taxes, Senate Republicans are pursuing cuts that their House colleagues were hesitant to propose. House members had landed on freezing provider tax rates at current levels instead of reducing them. If the Senate passes its plan for provider taxes, the House and the Senate will have to reconcile their differences.

DHS ends temporary protections for 530K immigrants from these countries
WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security revoked temporary work and residency authorizations for more than 530,000 immigrants under a program the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end in a late May ruling. The program protected immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela from deportation and provided them work permits. The program is often referred to as CHNV, an acronym that references the immigrants' countries of origin. Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary at DHS, said immigrants were 'poorly vetted' through 'disastrous' programs that allowed them to compete for jobs against American workers. 'Ending the CHNV parole programs, as well as the paroles of those who exploited it, will be a necessary return to common-sense policies, a return to public safety, and a return to America First,' McLaughlin said. The program is one way the Trump administration is restricting entry into the United States. Other strategies include suspending asylum applications, hardening barriers along the southern border, deporting undocumented immigrants and restricting travel from 12 countries. The Biden administration created the program in 2022. But DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced in March she was canceling the program because of concerns the immigrants would compete for government services and jobs, and because, she said, some of them were criminals. At least three lawsuits challenged Noem's decision. But the Supreme Court ruled May 30 that Noem could end the program. The impact of the decision is uncertain because immigrants could apply for legal status under other programs. DHS is notifying immigrants known as parolees, because their status is temporary, that if they no longer have a lawful status to remain, they must leave the country immediately. If they get stopped, they could be deported. The department has offered undocumented immigrants $1,000 to leave voluntarily through the CBP Home Mobile App. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: DHS ends temporary Biden-era protections for Cubans, Venezuelans
