A package of nine-billion-dollars in DOGE spending cuts is the focus of the House. The cuts would be to public broadcasting, global health programs and some more foreign aid. Republican Senators narrowly passed a package early this morning.        Forecasters say tropical flooding is coming to the Gulf Coast. Flood warnings are being posted from the Florida Panhandle to south-central Louisiana, which could receive over a foot of rain at a rate of up to three inches per hour both today and Friday. A high flood risk is also possible in the coastal cities of Mobile, Alabama and Gulfport, Mississippi, where heavy storms could linger and soak the region with several inches of rain.        Thousands are hitting the streets to protest against the Trump administration across the country today. The Good Trouble Lives On demonstrations are honoring late Congressman and civil rights activist John Lewis. Lewis made the phrase "good trouble" popular when he spoke of nonviolent protests and challenges to civil rights infringements. Cities were protests are taking place include New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Chicago, Phoenix and more.        President Trump is reportedly going to sign an executive order that would clear the way for 401-k retirement accounts to invest in private assets. The "Wall Street Journal" says the executive order would direct the SEC and the Labor Department to develop regulatory guidance for employers about including private-market investments in 401-k plans. Private-market investments include venture capital, real estate and hedge funds that aren't publicly traded.        The judge in the Bryan Kohberger case is set to hear arguments related to a gag order. The non-dissemination order keeps anyone directly involved in the case from speaking about it. Kohberger pleaded guilty to killing four University of Idaho students in 2022 to avoid the death penalty. The prosecution has dropped its objection to the gag order being lifted.        The Open is underway in Northern Ireland.
