“The House and Senate are both in session today simultaneously for the first time since the end of July. Lawmakers have just 10 days to fund the government ahead of a potential shutdown; federal agencies run out of money on Sept. 30. Congress has to raise the nation’s debt limit by next month as well,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Democratic leaders and the White House face two key decisions right away: What to do on the debt limit, and whether to allow a House floor vote on the $1 trillion bipartisan Senate infrastructure bill next week?”
Politico: “The House and Senate return to Washington together this week with Democrats facing four tasks that would be challenging on their own — but, taken together, are the legislative equivalent of Hercules’ labors.”
