Congress is back from its Thanksgiving recess this week -- with not very much time to go before several different impending deadlines. We've talked a lot about the appropriations legislation that still needs to get done for 2024. But the deadlines for some key authorization bills are creeping up even faster. Loren Duggan is deputy news director at Bloomberg Government. He spoke with Federal News Network Deputy Editor Jared Serbu.
It sure came fast. Just a workweek remaining until the continuing resolution expires. The fever is building on Capitol Hill to do something to avoid a government shutdown. For the latest, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke to Bloomberg Government Deputy News Director Loren Duggan.
The House of Representatives has a speaker, for now. That was a heavy lift. What comes next now that Capitol Hill is operational again. For this week's outlook, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke with Bloomberg Government deputy news director Loren Duggan.
To the surprise of just about everybody, the Federal Government is fully functional this Monday, October 2, 2023. Some surprise last-minute votes in both the House and Senate on Saturday happened just in time to get a continuing resolution (CR)to the president’s desk – just hours before much of the government was set to run out of appropriations.
With government shutdown on everyone's mind, the Senate this week is trying to fashion a package of three bills. This as the House seems to be at war with itself. Well, one of the party's, at least. For a Capitol Hill update, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke with Loren Duggan, Bloomberg Government Deputy News Director.
Congress is still a couple of weeks away from returning to Washington. Still, pressure is building for members to resolve a difficult budget impasse, as the prospects for a lapse in appropriations also seem to grow.
This week Congress is hard at work on spending bills for 2024. It's the last work week before the August recess, as the fiscal year rushes towards Sept. 30.
Coming back from its holiday recess, both chambers of Congress have a lot of business to take care of before their next one.
Congress has gone into a two week recess, however the entirety of the debt ceiling debate took up a lot of time that could've been used to address other confirmations and hearings. So that mean it's going to be a busy summer once members return.
Committees in the House will take up two important issues this week: Agency budgets for 2024 and the next National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This will transpire as Congress recovers from its exertions over the debt ceiling.
In theory there is a debt-ceiling deal between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But it is not law yet. With days until the theoretical deadline, Congress has a lot of work to do.
The looming debt ceiling will occupy the first order of business for Congress again this week. Yet budget hearings and other regular stuff will also go on.
The House is in recess this week, but the Senate will hear more budget testimony and deal with judicial nominees. Federal Drive with Tom Temin got the outlook from Bloomberg Government Deputy News Director Loren Duggan.
The House and Senate are coming back to the Hill after a two-week spring hiatus.
