Congressional Fractures, Appropriations, Ethics, and Executive Spending

H.R. 6500 funds the government through December 11, but appropriations, SNAP cost-sharing, tariffs, immigration, FISA, disaster aid, crypto, transportation, aviation modernization, OMB authority, and proposed cancellation of appropriated funds remain unresolved. Congress has produced historically few laws, canceled or deferred votes, and pushed major work beyond the November elections, while states challenge the approximately $810 million pocket rescission and the Senate has rejected stock-trading restrictions.
