- Congress is settling in for a do-nothing summer
Congressional Republicans face stalled legislative progress due to intraparty conflicts, tight margins, and President Trump's demands, leaving major bills like the defense policy and farm bill unfinished. House leaders have lost control of their chamber, and frustrations grow as deadlines pass without action.
- Johnson to meet with Trump in last-ditch bid to unstick House floor
Speaker Mike Johnson plans to meet with President Donald Trump to resolve a House floor shutdown caused by GOP hard-liners demanding the Senate pass the SAVE America Act. Johnson aims to pass a bipartisan bill and propose a watered-down version of the elections bill to break the stalemate, but hard-liners and Trump remain unconvinced.
