Overview

• A new NBC News Decision Desk poll finds 45% of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance while 55% disapprove, unchanged since April.
• Fifty-one percent of respondents back Trump’s handling of border security and immigration, marking it as his strongest policy area despite widespread protests.
• National Guard units were deployed to Los Angeles to quash immigration enforcement protests, and demonstrations have since emerged in multiple cities.
• The House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act would add roughly $3 trillion to the deficit over ten years, partly offset by $1.25 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
• Senate Republicans remain split over Medicaid provisions and are drafting revised versions in committee, putting the hoped-for July 4 enactment at risk.
