Details@Capital1.com Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson met with President Trump for several hours today, a day after Trump said he wouldn't sign a bipartisan housing bill unless Congress passes his stalled election security bill. Now Johnson says he'll send the bill to the president's desk anyway.

Very productive meeting. We're on exactly the same page he he is wants to ensure that we stop any blockade in the House. Congress has work to do and that's what we're going to do. And so we'll be moving forward on all of that. We're transmitting the housing bill to the White House.

Once Trump has the bill, it starts a 10 day clock for him to sign it, veto it or do nothing and allow it to become law. But if Congress isn't in session when that 10 day period ends, the bill will be killed with what's known as a pocket veto and lawmaker are scheduled to be in recess starting July 3. It's unclear whether a pocket veto can take place while Congress is in recess and when Johnson will formally send the bill to the president.

Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said that TPS functions at the discretion of the president and is not subject to court review. He also wrote President Trump's past statements with respect to Haitians were policy based and not racially discriminatory. Justice Elena Kagan wrote in dissent that Trump's statements about Haitians were so reputed and racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print.

The E Rate program is a federal initiative that provides discounted Internet rates for schools and libraries. It will undergo a period of reevaluation and public comment as the FCC decides whether the program should be, quote, narrowed or reoriented. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr cited students increased screen time and declining test scores as a reason to impose restrictions and seek public comment on whether E Rate funded networks are being used for educational purposes. Commissioner Ana Gomez argues that weakening the program would deepen educational inequities and move us further away from digital equity, not closer to it. Sequoia Carrillo, NPR News.
