A jam-packed live updates roundup from Capitol Hill shows a week of partisan flashpoints: Nebraska’s Senate primary reshapes the race against Pete Ricketts, while White House pressure aims to force House Republicans to pass the Senate housing bill as written amid debates over investor restrictions and a digital‑currency ban; a heated fight over $1 billion in Secret Service funding tied to the President’s ballroom sparks intra‑party friction. The feed also tracks crypto‑ethics talks ahead of a Thursday markup, leadership rumors (including Anna Paulina Luna’s RNC chair considerations and Tom Kean Jr.’s absence), and oversight drama from Epstein‑related hearings to DOJ settlements—highlighting a tense pre‑midterm political sprint.
