CONGRESS BACK IN SESSION, EXPECTED ACTION ON DHS FUNDING
Congress returned from recess Monday, and the Senate is expected to take up a procedural vote today that would be the next step forward in funding the Department of Homeland Security. DHS has been partially shut down for 11 days, with a portion of the department funded by this summer's "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act. Reporting from CBS News indicates that lawmakers return at an impasse in negotiations. The vote comes just hours before President Trump delivers the State of the Union address.
