House clears path to reauthorize spy powers, farm bill, and immigration funding

House Republicans cleared a procedural path to vote on three priorities—extending Section 702 surveillance powers (FISA), updating the farm bill, and a budget blueprint to fund immigration enforcement—after hard-line resistance and last-minute amendments. The 216-210 rule approval signals floor consideration despite intra-GOP objections over guardrails on surveillance, E15 fuel language, and pesticide-labeling provisions, with Senate skepticism about linking a digital currency ban to FISA. A planned farm-bill vote was delayed for more negotiations, as leaders aim to reopen the Department of Homeland Security funding shuttered for months.
