House Republicans on Wednesday unveiled a budget framework for a roughly $95 billion reconciliation package that would provide funding for defense, farm aid and state efforts to implement voter ID requirements in elections. The resolution marks the opening salvo in Republicans’ effort to use the budget reconciliation process one final time to advance key GOP priorities while they still control both chambers of Congress and the White House.

Federal Law Bars States From Giving Illegal Aliens In-State Tuition, Court Holds
A federal appeals court has kept in place a ruling that stops Texas from handing illegal aliens discounted in-state college tuition while charging out-of-state American citizens far more. In its July 9 opinion , the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s refusal to let outside groups enter the case and defend the tuition break.
