The House passed the trillion-dollar legislation known as the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill" and set up another vote for President Biden's "Build Back Better" plan.

President Biden unveiled a slimmed down spending framework to House Democrats. He discussed the transformative nature of the package, but some major priorities Democrats hoped to include were dropped.

It does not include progressive priorities like paid family leave or measures to lower the costs of prescription drugs. Still, President Biden thinks it would pass both chambers.

House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., called the CEOs of four oil companies to appear and answer questions about climate change. She says the companies have spread misinformation for decades.

Arizona Sen. Sinema's opposition to increasing taxes on corporations forced Democrats to rework how they pay for their spending bill. But negotiators have come up with an alternative they agree on.

A Navy report on the arson fire that destroyed the USS Bonhomme Richard concludes that there were sweeping failures by commanders, crew members and others that helped fuel the blaze.

Congress is back and trying to tackle a number of pressing issues before the end of the month, including negotiations over President Biden's infrastructure and social spending packages.

The Freedom to Vote Act is a unified Democratic effort led in part by West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who was trying to get Republican support. Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell vocally opposes it.

Progressive Democrats acknowledged that many of their priorities would have to be scaled back, but called the White House meeting "productive."

Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are the two holdouts as Democrats and the White House try to reach a deal on a sweeping spending bill. But their policy demands may put them at odds.

Two Democrats are not on board with President Biden's domestic agenda. Senators Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., may be at odds due to their own policy priorities for this package.

President Biden's legislative agenda hangs in the balance as Democrats work to bridge their differences over a massive bill to fund social programs. A bipartisan infrastructure bill is also on hold.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote in a letter to colleagues that "more time is needed to complete the task" of forging an agreement among Democrats on their larger spending measure.

It's not what is in the legislation to upgrade roads and bridges — a topic that usually draws bipartisan support — but rather how the House Democrats tried to package it with a larger spending bill.

Democrats must untangle a potential government shutdown Thursday, a potential federal default, a vote on a $1 trillion infrastructure bill and a related vote on as much as $3.5 trillion in spending.

Seven House lawmakers are facing ethics complaints for violating the Stock Act, which polices insider trading, because of a recent bipartisan trend of lawmakers ignoring disclosure requirements.

The complaints from the Campaign Legal Center against four Democrats and three Republicans show a trend — lawmakers failing to disclose transactions required by an insider trading law.

A law policing insider trading on Capitol Hill passed nearly 10 years ago. But a trend has emerged from lawmakers from both parties — they are ignoring disclosure rules created to show transparency.

Demonstrators gathered outside a largely empty Capitol today. Lawmakers return next week to a lengthy to-do list.

President Biden isn't on the ballot next fall. But Republican lawmakers, campaign operatives and candidates believe his handling of the economy will drive voters' decisions.
