Trump met with dissenting Republicans on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, and members of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus were reportedly set to visit the White House on Wednesday.Reports suggest, though, Trump has been unable to convince all the holdouts.

He has said that if a Republican lawmaker opposed the bill, they "wouldn't be a Republican much longer".The bill was narrowly approved by the House budget committee on Sunday night, giving House Speaker Mike Johnson a rare win.

She says that there are a number of low-tech ways to keep buildings cool, such as designing for air flow.For outdoor workers, even a 20-minute break from the heat and humidity, such as in

, can make a difference.But beyond this, active cooling will become increasingly critical as temperatures continue to rise due to climate change.
