Summary
Congress is on a short, sleepy session before the midterms—no government shutdown drama, but also no major wins. Defense funding, a new farm bill, and even AI regulation are all on hold, likely to be tackled after the election in a lame-duck session. Lawmakers are split on AI: some want tech companies to self-regulate, others demand government oversight and classified briefings. Meanwhile, the Senate might confirm a few nominees, but real progress hinges on November’s vote. If Democrats sweep both houses, expect zero compromise with Republicans—but a split could unlock last-minute deals before the new year.
