House Passes Bipartisan Housing Plan, Ahead of Senate Showdown

The House voted 390-9 to approve the bipartisan Housing in the 21st Century Act under suspension, launching a fast-track path to merge with the Senate’s ROAD to Housing Act and secure White House support. The package expands affordable and manufactured housing, modernizes development programs, strengthens borrower protections, and adds a community-bank lending provision, setting up a likely bicameral negotiation and potential conflicts with Senate Democrats’ preferences. The live feed also touches on tariffs votes, Epstein files and Maxwell’s deposition, and DHS funding talks, but the housing bill remains the main focus.

GOP seeks bipartisan route to push through spending package and avert shutdown

House GOP leaders plan a Monday vote on a broad spending package, likely via suspension of the rules to secure bipartisan support and avert a partial shutdown; the package would fund DHS for two weeks to buy time for guardrails on immigration, while Democrats stay wary and conservatives push for amendments—complicating passage as Senate leadership signals willingness to move forward and Johnson’s thinner margin from a Texas runoff adds pressure.

Bipartisan ACA subsidy push stalls over Hyde language

Republican senators say a long-sought bipartisan plan to extend the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits for two years has stalled, with a key fight centering on Hyde language and White House buy-in. The proposal would extend the open enrollment period, set an income cap at 700% of the federal poverty level, require a minimum premium, impose a $100,000 fraud penalty, and in the second year allow funds to go into HSAs. Democrats blame Republicans for the halt, while some House and Senate leaders discuss a vehicle for the extension, leaving subsidy relief uncertain as enrollment deadlines approach.
