Returning Congress Faces Heavy Summer Agenda
Congress returns from July Fourth events facing a looming government funding deadline and a partisan clash over spending. Republicans push to avoid a shutdown while Democrats demand higher domestic funding, with highway funding, the Export-Import Bank, and Iran talks on the table as Senate and House consider education overhauls and cybersecurity measures. A separate incident in Emerald Isle, North Carolina, involved a deck collapse injuring 24 people, revealing aging structure and ongoing investigations amid a holiday weekend.
