Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) told reporters that there’s “potentially a path forward” on Obamacare subsidy talks, but the Hyde amendment, which blocks federal money for abortions, remains “probably the most challenging part of this.”

Said Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), in response to President Trump asking GOP lawmakers for flexibility: “I’m not flexible on the value of every child’s life.”
