They plan a $7.9 billion Harvey aid installment for House passage and seek a path to raise the $19.9 trillion debt limit before month’s end. Opposition in the GOP rises over linking bills and potential wall funding on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Wall project on hold as Harvey shifts focus to recovery
The Trump administration faces a funding clash as Harvey reshapes priorities. Officials had planned 74 miles of border wall with $1.6 billion, mostly in Texas Rio Grande Valley, but disaster relief now dominates. Opposition in Congress and a shifted strategy, including possible DACA changes, complicate the funding path.

Lee descendant resigns as pastor over racial justice comment
Rev. Robert W. Lee IV, a descendant of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, resigned as pastor of Bethany United Church of Christ near Winston-Salem after some members objected to his praise of the Black Lives Matter movement on MTV. He said the church decided to vote on his tenure and that he could not remain as pastor. He apologized for causing pain but defended his stance against racism and support for removing Confederate monuments.
