House lawmakers will resume legislative business today as members eye action on government funding. The House Rules Committee is slated to meet later today to craft the rule that will govern debate for a continuing resolution (CR) that would fund the government through Nov. 21. Additional details on the House CR remain unclear, as lawmakers are still jostling for certain legislative priorities — including extensions for expiring Medicare and Medicaid programs, as well as increased funding for payments to farmers impacted by tariffs — to be tacked on to the bill. In other notable funding news, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced yesterday that the upper chamber will take up the first House-passed minibus for the purpose of using it as a legislative “shell” that the Senate will use for its first spending votes.
