Early chatter among House GOP about extra Iran $ — but there’s lots of moving parts to get a bill like that over the line “We've got to know what the limits are and how much it's gonna cost, and if it's paid for,” Chip Roy, who backs the strikes, told me foxnews.com/politics/congr…

House Republicans faced a wake-up call last week when a small group of GOP lawmakers voted with Dems against Trump's Canada tariffs & sunk a rule vote w/ language to block them from doing so Now they're wrestling with what a razor-thin majority means as the November midterms creep closer - including what it means for Trump's agenda "We’ve got to come up with a better strategy," one House R told me foxnews.com/politics/house…

FUNDING TALKS UPDATE: Prospective Senate deal could face bumpy road in the House Andy Harris & Ralph Norman both have issues with a potential standalone CR for DHS. Norman tells me, "IF THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN, ‘DO IT’!!" GOP House appropriators are also frustrated - Tom Cole told me yesterday that it was Dems who asked for all 6 bills to be packaged as one minibus and he's not sure a DHS CR could pass the House Stephanie Bice told me today that a DHS CR is the "wrong strategy." She's arguing that Dems risk forcing a partial shutdown that could affect TSA, air traffic control if the whole minibus is in limbo Rs keep pointing out that ICE is already funded through OBBBA anyway & would be largely unaffected @AlexMillerFox1 reports that Senate Dems want a 2-week CR for DHS, while GOP prefers 6-weeks. They're trying to land that plane now. But Harris told me Dems' plans to extract concessions that Rs will oppose "will not suddenly disappear in a week or a month with a Continuing Resolution" Hakeem Jeffries signaled Dems could be open to a short-term clean CR for DHS, opening the door for a possible suspension vote. That's all waiting for House lawmakers to return come Monday, if more snowy weather doesn't force delays...@FoxNews foxnews.com/politics/tensi…

House Republicans are anticipating broad support for today’s vote on the Massie-Khanna bill directing DOJ to release Epstein files, with some calling Trump’s support key to an overwhelming vote But Johnson & his allies say they’re still concerned the bill doesnt sufficiently protect innocent people — hoping for changes in the Senate “The president has nothing to hide, but things that need to be fixed, have to be fixed in the Senate,” RSC Chair Pfluger said Byron Donalds said, “I think there's a reason why political bodies don't release criminal files.” Both said they’d vote for it today though Massie warned he would be open to Senate changes, but, “If they try to monkey it up, I think those senators are gonna get in front of a freight train and be in a lot of trouble with their supporters.” foxnews.com/politics/house…

White House response: “Anyone calling President Trump’s historic drug pricing deals ‘price controls’ is either too stupid or dishonest to be taken seriously.” Spox argues Trump drug pricing plan is “restoring the free market principles that Mike Pence supposedly supports.”

FLASHBACK: Ted Cruz predicts ballooning Obamacare subsidies now at center of shutdown fight
Will Ricciardella@WillRicci

I’m so old I remember when @tedcruz filibustered Obamacare, warned it would be too expensive, & was blasted for it. The shutdown that followed led to attacks on conservatives, not the law itself. Now the costs came back to roost & Obama’s 2013 shutdown “barrycades”have been memory-holed.
