"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Tam Runran.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says he'll send to the White House tomorrow, a bipartisan bill designed to make housing more affordable. He thinks President Trump will cite it into law.
Trump had refused to cite it last week, saying Congress must first approve the SAVAC,

“I think it's an expression of how frustrated Donald Trump is about the limits of his power,”
because he sees his power as unlimited. That's how he's described it. Whether it's his own Republicans in the Senate, who, although they are pretty loyal to him, don't do every single thing he wants when he wants it. And he was hoping to pass this bill, and he is said, "If we pass this bill, we win the
midterms. If we don't pass the SAVAC, we won't." Now Republicans think holding up the housing bill could hurt them in the midterms. Democrats certainly will take advantage of it. I can imagine them starting to run ads that say, "Congress voted to help you by
a home. Donald Trump is not on your side." Ukraine hit Russia's oil refineries again over the weekend, as part of a long-range drone and missile strike campaign, to weaken Russia's ability to wage war. And PR's Joanna Cassissus reports from Kiev that Russia also continued its near daily

And from Washington, you're listening to NPR news. Major changes begin to lie the first at the federal student loan program. Many of the modifications are aimed at graduate students who had been allowed to borrow in unlimited amount of money to help with their education. Now the Trump administration is capping most graduate student loans at $20,500 a year.
