Key Facts
Congress approved $600 million in aid last year: $400 million for Ukraine and $200 million for Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promised a spending plan by May 15 but missed the deadline.
Senators from both parties, including Dick Durbin, Chuck Grassley, Kevin Cramer, Thom Tillis, Michael Bennet, and Catherine Cortez Masto, signed a letter demanding action.

Defense Secretary Hegseth recently fired Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, who had advocated for new military strategies including drone use.
In the House, a bipartisan proposal seeks $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia but faces an uncertain future.

Medicare has started a new pilot program called WISeR that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to approve or deny some medical services for traditional Medicare patients. Some Democratic lawmakers want to stop the program because they worry it could delay or deny care for seniors and give companies financial reasons to cut costs over patient needs.
Key Facts
The WISeR model uses AI-assisted prior authorization to review and decide on certain medical service requests within traditional Medicare.
The program launched in 2024 and currently operates in six states: Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington.
Private contractors use AI to determine if a medical service is necessary and are paid based on the money saved by denying services.
Democrats argue that this setup may delay care, deny necessary treatments, and add bureaucratic hurdles for seniors.
Lawmakers have introduced resolutions in Congress to repeal the WISeR program.
Medicare’s goal with WISeR is to reduce wasteful or low-value medical services and lower overall healthcare costs.
Critics fear AI could override doctors’ judgments and prioritize saving money over patient health.
The pilot program is planned to run until 2031 unless stopped by lawmakers.

The Trump administration announced that foreign nationals on temporary visas must return to their home countries to apply for permanent residency (Green Cards) instead of applying from within the US. This policy aims to strictly follow immigration laws and prevent temporary visa holders from staying in the US while seeking permanent status.
Key Facts
The administration wants to close what it calls "loopholes" that let temporary visa holders stay and apply for Green Cards inside the US.
Temporary visa holders generally must leave the US and apply for permanent residency from abroad.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said adjusting status inside the US is a discretionary benefit, not an automatic right.
Immigration officers will review each case individually, considering visa violations or fraud.
Some visa types allow "dual intent," meaning holders can legally seek permanent residency while temporarily in the US, but this does not guarantee approval.
Rights groups warn the policy could force some vulnerable migrants to return to dangerous situations during the application process.
This guidance is part of President Trump's broader efforts to tighten immigration and reduce long-term residency paths.
The administration has also shortened some visa durations and revoked over 100,000 visas since President Trump returned to office.
