Inside Trump’s urgent meeting with House GOP to pass the ‘big, beautiful bill’

President Donald Trump rallied House Republicans behind closed doors to pass his «one big, beautiful bill» as soon as possible – and to quickly resolve their interparty disagreements in the process.
Trump made a rare visit to Capitol Hill just days before the House of Representatives is expected to vote on a massive bill advancing his agenda on tax, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit.
It is a reflection of the high stakes that congressional Republicans and the White House are facing, with just razor-thin majorities in the House and Senate.
Trump warned House Republicans to not «f— around» with Medicaid and state and local tax (SALT) deduction caps, two significant points of contention for warring GOP factions, two people in the room told Fox News Digital.

Two people said Trump targeted Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., on SALT specifically. Lawler, one of just three Republicans in districts Trump lost in 2024, has been one of the most vocal proponents of a higher SALT deduction cap.
«I know your district better than you do. If you lose because of SALT, you were going to lose anyway,» Trump said during his remarks, the sources told Fox News Digital.
When asked about those comments by reporters after the meeting, Lawler said, «The issue of SALT is one of the biggest issues impacting my district. It’s the reason I won.»
«I made very clear when I ran for office back in ’22 that I would never support a tax bill that does not adequately lift the cap on SALT,» Lawler said.
Meanwhile, three sources in the room said Trump also targeted Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who has frustrated both the president and House GOP leaders in the past by bucking the party line. Trump had called Massie a «grandstander» in public comments to reporters minutes before the meeting.
Massie told reporters when asked for his response, «It would be ironic if one of you guys who stopped me, wants to report that I’m a grandstander. Because you are the ones who are performing this, standing. I would be walking.»
«I don’t think he wants to talk about cutting spending,» Massie said of Trump.

SALT deduction caps and Medicaid remain two of the biggest sticking points in Republican negotiations. SALT deduction caps primarily benefit people living in high-cost-of-living areas like New York City, Los Angeles and their surrounding suburbs. Republicans representing those areas have argued that raising the SALT deduction cap is a critical issue and that a failure to address it could cost the GOP the House majority in the 2026 midterms.
Republicans in redder, lower-tax areas have said in response that SALT deductions favor wealthy people living in Democrat-controlled states and that such deductions reward progressive high-tax policies.
It was Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that first instituted caps on SALT deductions – setting the maximum at $10,000 for both married couples and single filers.

SALT Caucus members like Lawler have rejected House Republican leaders’ offer to increase that to $30,000, but Trump told those Republicans to accept what offer was on the table, according to people in the room.
Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, meanwhile, are pushing for the bill to be more aggressive in cutting waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicaid system, including a faster timeline for implementing work requirements for able-bodied recipients. Currently, the legislation has work requirements kicking in 2029.
They also want to restructure Medicaid cost-sharing to put a bigger burden on the states.
Moderates, meanwhile, have been wary of making significant cuts to the program.

A White House official said Trump stressed he wanted complete unity on the bill, and «made it clear he’s losing patience with all holdout factions of the House Republican Conference, including the SALT Caucus and the House Freedom Caucus.»
He also urged Republicans to debate SALT «later» while warning, «Don’t touch Medicaid except for eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, including booting off illegal immigrants and common-sense work requirements,» the White House official said.
However, lawmakers leaving the meeting appear to have taken away very different conclusions.
«He’s just like, listen. I think where we’re at with the bill is good, and to keep pushing for more will be difficult,» Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., said of Trump’s Medicaid comments.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, R-Ark., similarly said, «I think he’s referring to members who want to change the approach that the Energy & Commerce Committee has taken.»
«He thinks they’ve taken a good, balanced approach to preserve the program, enhance the program, while narrowing the scope and hunting out waste, fraud, and abuse,» Hill said.
Meanwhile, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., told Fox News Digital, «I think the president will not mind changes that…decrease waste, fraud, and abuse in the bill.»
However, it is unclear how much Trump’s message moved Republicans who were skeptical of the bill previously.
Harris came out of the meeting insisting the House-wide vote should be delayed, so House Republicans could take more time to negotiate the bill.
Additionally, SALT Caucus Republicans like Lawler, as well as Reps. Nick LaLota and Andrew Garbarino of New York, indicated to reporters they would oppose the bill as currently written.
Some last-minute changes are expected to be made to the legislation before a 1 a.m. House Rules Committee meeting to advance the bill. The powerful panel acts as the final gatekeeper to most legislation before a House-wide vote.

However, it is unclear now if changes will be made to SALT deduction caps or Medicaid after Trump urged Republicans to clear up both fights.

Republicans are working to pass Trump’s policies on tax, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt all in one massive bill via the budget reconciliation process.
Budget reconciliation lowers the Senate’s threshold for passage from 60 votes to 51, thereby allowing the party in power to skirt the minority — in this case, Democrats — to pass sweeping pieces of legislation, provided they deal with the federal budget, taxation, or the national debt.
House Republicans are hoping to advance Trump’s bill through the House by the end of this week, with a goal of a final bill on the president’s desk by the Fourth of July.

Trump says Dems who told military to defy illegal orders committed ‘sedition at the highest level’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Saturday purported that Democrats who urged the military to defy illegal orders engaged in «sedition at the highest level» and «should be in jail right now.»
This comes after one of the lawmakers who appeared in the video calling on troops to ignore unlawful orders, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, was targeted with a bomb threat just days after the clip and Trump’s subsequent statements suggesting the Democrats be executed.
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump argued that the «traitors» who appeared in the video «should be in jail right now, not roaming the fake news networks trying to explain what they said was OK.»
«It wasn’t, and never will be!» he claimed. «It was sedition at the highest level, and sedition is a major crime. There can be no other interpretation of what they said!»

Trump initially responded to the video message by saying, «SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!» He also shared a post from another account that said, «Hang them George Washington would.»
The White House and the president himself later attempted to walk back his comments, saying he did not wish to execute the Democrat lawmakers.
In another post on Saturday, Trump alleged that «many great legal scholars» agree with his position that «the Democrat traitors that told the military to disobey my orders, as president, have committed a crime of serious proportion!»
Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA and Defense Department, shared the video on Tuesday of herself and other Democrat lawmakers who formerly served in the military and intelligence community encouraging troops and members of the intelligence community to ignore illegal orders from officials.
«This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,» the lawmakers said. «Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.»

Other lawmakers in the video included Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, as well as Reps. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado.
Trump administration officials and other Republicans criticized the video, which affirms that refusing unlawful orders is a standard part of military protocol.
Slotkin’s office said on Friday that police responded to her Michigan home following a bomb threat, but that she was not home at the time.
U.S. Capitol Police told her that she would have security at all hours of the day.
«We’ve got law enforcement out in front of my house,» she told MS Now. «It changes things immediately. And leadership climate is set from the top. And if the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse.»

The lawmakers in the video have vowed not to back down despite the threats.
«What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty,» they said in a joint statement on Thursday.
«In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated,» the statement added.

¿Es malo hacer ejercicio antes de dormir?: esto responden los expertos

En los últimos años, varios estudios de gran escala han concluido que el ejercicio nocturno probablemente no interfiere con el sueño, mientras que otros siguen encontrando una relación negativa en ciertos contextos.

Consultamos a expertos en sueño y ejercicio para que explicaran qué dice la evidencia sobre entrenar por la noche y cómo eso puede afectar el descanso, y para que compartieran las mejores prácticas para que una rutina antes de dormir funcione a tu favor.
Un ejercicio de intensidad moderada suele ser adecuado
Las investigaciones han demostrado de forma consistente que las rutinas de intensidad baja o moderada antes de dormir no perjudican el sueño, e incluso pueden favorecer un sueño más profundo.
Salir por la noche a caminar, un trote ligero o un paseo tranquilo en bicicleta –o realizar cualquier actividad que no eleve demasiado la frecuencia cardíaca– puede ayudar a reducir el estrés y liberar hormonas que generen bienestar, explicó Christopher Tanayan, cardiólogo deportivo de Northwell Health, en Nueva York. Agregó que el yoga y los estiramientos también pueden fomentar la atención plena, lo que prepara al cuerpo para el descanso.
Sin embargo, incluso algo bueno puede ser demasiado: algunas evidencias sugieren que realizar un entrenamiento de intensidad moderada extremadamente largo –por ejemplo, una carrera de tres horas– por la noche puede dificultar conciliar el sueño y afectar negativamente su calidad, dijo Josh Leota, investigador del sueño y autor principal de un estudio de 2025 que exploró la relación entre la actividad intensa en la noche y los hábitos de sueño.
Para el ejercicio de alta intensidad, la hora sí importa
Para los entrenamientos extenuantes, la evidencia es más contradictoria. Algunos estudios han encontrado que realizar una rutina de alta intensidad poco antes de acostarse tiene pocos efectos negativos sobre el sueño, pero otros sugieren que puede dificultar conciliarlo y mantenerlo.
Muchos expertos creen que los posibles efectos negativos se deben a los cambios fisiológicos que ocurren durante y después del esfuerzo prolongado. En particular, el ejercicio vigoroso eleva la temperatura corporal central, a menudo durante varias horas después de terminar la sesión. Además, el estrés físico activa el sistema nervioso simpático –conocido como la respuesta de “lucha o huida”–, que libera hormonas del estrés, explicó Tanayan.

Ambas respuestas pueden interferir con el ciclo del sueño. “Si tu temperatura corporal central permanece elevada, eso de hecho le dice a tu cuerpo que aún no es hora de dormir”, agregó. Aunque esto es especialmente cierto en los entrenamientos aeróbicos intensos, también puede pasar con el levantamiento de pesas o con cualquier rutina que someta al cuerpo a un esfuerzo continuo.
“Si el ejercicio es demasiado extenuante, aunque produzca beneficios psicológicos realmente positivos”, puede dejar tu cuerpo en un estado de exaltación que no favorece el sueño, dijo Leota, y agregó: “Es un equilibrio delicado”.
Pero la hora en que se realizan los entrenamientos nocturnos de alta intensidad puede marcar una gran diferencia. Si te gusta ejercitarte con intensidad por la noche y tienes cierta flexibilidad de horarios, procura ir al gimnasio al menos tres horas antes de acostarte, dijo Leota. Ese margen le dará al cuerpo el tiempo necesario para volver a su estado de reposo, señalaron los expertos.
Tal vez tengas que experimentar para encontrar la rutina nocturna que mejor te funcione
Si solo puedes hacer ejercicio por la noche, es mejor entrenar a esa hora que no hacerlo en absoluto, señalaron los expertos. También recordaron que la fisiología y la respuesta al ejercicio nocturno varían ligeramente en cada persona.
Averiguar qué es lo mejor para ti puede requerir algo de ensayo y error, dijo Michael Gradisar, psicólogo clínico y coautor de un estudio de 2021 sobre la actividad física nocturna y el sueño. No te limites a probar una sola vez un determinado régimen de ejercicio nocturno antes de decidir si te funciona, añadió, sino que “repítela una y otra vez”, prestando atención a cómo te sientes durante el día y a lo largo de la semana siguiente.
Si prefieres realizar entrenamientos intensos por la noche, la rutina adecuada podría implicar incluso elegir una o dos noches a la semana en las que duermas un poco menos para poder incluir ese ejercicio de alta intensidad, señaló Matthew Badgett, especialista en medicina del estilo de vida e integral en la Clínica Cleveland.

En algunas personas, las decisiones que toman en torno a sus entrenamientos –como el lugar donde hacen ejercicio o la forma en que se alimentan antes y después– son las que interfieren con su descanso, explicó Jingyi Qian, investigadora del sueño en Mass General Brigham.
Sea cual sea el tipo o la intensidad del ejercicio que elijas, evita entrenar en un espacio muy iluminado cerca de la hora de dormir, ya que esto puede retrasar tu reloj interno del sueño, explicó Qian. También recomendó evitar las bebidas deportivas con cafeína y las comidas tardías, ya que ambas pueden afectar negativamente el sueño.
“Lo más importante es que no te desanimes a hacer ejercicio si solo puedes hacerlo por la noche”, dijo Qian. “Con un poco de autodiagnóstico y buenos hábitos de sueño, puedes encontrar una rutina que favorezca tanto la forma física como el sueño”.
