Here’s the latest at the end of Wednesday. The debt limit fight may be Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s toughest challenge to date.Kenny Holston/The New York Times 1. The House passed a Republican bill to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending. The chamber’s Republican leadership pulled together enough support to [narrowly pass the legislation late this afternoon](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmLCYoP0TcaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vbGl2ZS8yMDIzLzA0LzI2L3VzL2RlYnQtY2VpbGluZy1iaWxsLXZvdGU_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzA0MjYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTExNDAmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMxNDM1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkPiihSWThum5TUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).

The legislation, which is dead on arrival in the Senate, would raise the debt ceiling for one year in exchange for freezing spending at last year’s levels for a decade — a nearly 14-percent cut.

In response, DeSantis moved to revoke Disney World’s self-governing privileges, and even floated the idea of developing a prison near the resort’s entrance. For Republican politicians like DeSantis, the party base’s discontent over the new corporate tendency to value signal — behavior they denounce as “woke” — has proved an opportunity. But attacking a culture superpower like Disney [is a tricky business](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmLCYoP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNC8yNi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9kZXNhbnRpcy1kaXNuZXktcmVwdWJsaWNhbnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDQyNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05MTE0MCZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzE0MzUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQ-KKFJZOG6blNSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).
