Obama delays immigration action until after the election
President Obama will postpone executive action on immigration until after the November vote to avoid electoral backlash. White House aides say he still intends to act this year, despite pressure from immigration groups and concerns from Democrats about energizing Republican opponents. The decision follows his June pledge to act if Congress does not pass a reform bill, after NATO talks and a White House review.

Congress rushes to fund government and campaign early
Congress returns to work after a five week recess with a short September session. The immediate task is passing a temporary funding bill through mid December and extending the Internet tax freeze. Debates focus on authorizing military action against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria ahead of the elections, with no clear consensus on new powers.
