Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

Funding Trump's agenda is a key mission for congressional Republicans, but House and Senate GOP lawmakers are at odds on how to proceed.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he planned to unveil a budget blueprint on Friday. But he told ABC News no details will be announced "at least until the end of the weekend, probably closer to Monday.”

“We just have a few final details to iron out," he said. "And it’s going well. I am very excited about where we are. And the fact that we are going to be moving this forward."

Johnson said raising the debt ceiling "will probably" be in the reconciliation package. Asked about the range of spending cuts that will be included in the package, Johnson declined to provide specifics.

These comments come after Republicans spent hours on Thursday working on their one-bill plan in two different meetings: one at the White House and the other late at the Capitol. Senate Republicans plan to discuss their own two-bill approach with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday.

In a statement to ABC News, an Environmental Protection Agency spokesperson confirmed 168 environmental justice staffers were placed on immediate, paid administrative leave on Thursday.

That spokesperson said the decision was made by "career staff" who determined the functions of the 168 staffers "did not relate to the agency's statutory duties or grant work."

The agency added that it is "in the process of evaluating new structure and organization to ensure we are meeting our mission of protecting human health and the environment for all Americans."

This statement comes as the EPA works to respond to Trump's executive order on DEI programs. Sources told ABC News that around 1,000 other EPA employees on probationary status have been told they may lose their jobs.

Elon Musk is using his social platform, X, to poll his hundreds of millions of followers on whether former DOGE representative Marko Elez -- who resigned amid reports linking him to an account that allegedly posted racist comments -- should be reinstated.

Elez's resignation came after the Wall Street Journal reported that he had links to a now-deleted social media account that allegedly advocated for racism and eugenics. ABC News has not independently verified the social media posts. A DOGE representative did not respond to a request for comment. ABC reached out to Elez, who did not immediately respond.
