House and Senate vote on Trump nominees and internet privacy debate
Congress debates financial deregulation and votes on Trump cabinet nominees. The House nullified an FCC internet privacy rule and moved to prevent future similar rules. An independent probe into Trump Russia ties gains no floor debate. Environmental studies rule passes and a debate over EPA transparency follows. NATO Montenegro ratified as part of security policy. Planned Parenthood funding rule nullified with Pence casting deciding vote. Retirement savings rule narrowly fails in Senate.
