House Rejects Funding Bill Tied to Citizenship Proof
The House rejected Speaker Mike Johnsons plan linking temporary funding with a mandate for proof of citizenship at voter registration. The 220 to 202 vote leaves funding unresolved and a stopgap needed before Oct 1. Democrats opposed the measure, Republicans split over spending, and Plan B to avoid a shutdown may be pursued.

U S files $100M suit over deadly Baltimore bridge collapse
The Justice Department sues Grace Ocean Private Ltd and Synergy Marine Group for more than 100 million to cover debris removal and port reopening costs after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse that killed six road workers. The suit argues the Dali was unseaworthy and that corners were cut on maintenance and electrical systems. FBI boarded the ship in April as families plan claims against the shipowners while a separate notice from Brawner Builders seeks damages for six lost employees.
