House Races Against Time to Avoid Shutdown | US News

House lawmakers return to D.C. with a packed agenda: passing a short-term spending bill to avoid a government shutdown before the midterms, voting on a resolution tying Democrats to progressive policies, and debating a Senate-passed bill that could empower Trump to slap tariffs on Russian oil buyers — sparking Democratic concerns about misuse of power. Meanwhile, they’re set to censure Rep. Chuck Edwards over allegations of unprofessional conduct toward aides, despite his denial. The funding bill also includes controversial tweaks, like delaying a grants rule and blocking Border Patrol funding — though a hemp provision has angered some Republicans. With elections looming, bipartisan urgency is mounting to pass these critical measures before campaign season fully kicks in.
