Dutch GP bows out after 2026 amid high costs and limited public backing

The Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Zandvoort will depart the Formula 1 calendar after 2026. Promoters say the event, privately funded and with no direct government support, faces a precarious financial balance and rising costs, making a long-term sustainable business case unlikely. Despite strong fan interest, escalating ticket prices and revenue risks mean they would need near-sellout crowds every year, and rotations to other tracks were deemed not viable. The decision to end on a high note reflects weighing ongoing risks against the benefits of continuing.

Senate Breaks for Summer as Funding Passes and Big Bills Stall

The Senate adjourned for its August recess after approving a short-term government funding bill to avert a shutdown and confirming Todd Blanche, while several high-priority items—most notably the SAVE America Act, a sweeping voter-ID push, cryptocurrency regulation, and college athletics reform—remained stalled amid GOP infighting and campaign-season pressures.

Senate okays stopgap funding to avert shutdown through December

The Senate approved a 90-6 continuing resolution to fund the government at current levels through December 11, avoiding a shutdown ahead of the midterm elections; it now goes to the House, and it also blocks a White House budget rule and closes a loophole to prevent misallocated funds for border enforcement, buying time to finalize spending.

Senate hurries to recess after GOP-Trump deal reshapes final votes

The Senate is racing to adjourn for a five-week recess after Republicans struck a deal with Trump to push votes on a college-sports bill, a stopgap funding package, Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination, and a GOP voter-ID measure, while the crypto bill is delayed and Blanche’s confirmation hinges on a critical vote from Cassidy amid Murkowski’s opposition; any single senator could derail the plan.

GOP sprint to push crypto rules, NIL and funding before recess

Senate Republicans are racing to finish an August agenda that includes funding the government, a potential vote on the SAVE Act for election integrity, and bills on crypto regulation (CLARITY Act) and hemp, with NIL rights for college athletes also on the table; Democrats worry a failed vote could unleash crypto PAC money and hinder bipartisan talks, leaving passage uncertain and a weekend session possible.

Capitol gridlock blocks Senate summer recess over funding and sanctions agenda

Senate leadership says a five‑week recess remains unlikely as all 100 members must sign off on a fast‑tracked agenda—funding through Dec. 11, a Russia sanctions bill, dozens of nominees (including Todd Blanche), and a bipartisan college athletics bill—while Republicans weigh a stopgap tied to Trump’s election‑security priorities. Intraparty fights over hemp language and a looming cryptocurrency vote, plus uncertainty around Blanche’s confirmation, complicate progress, and House Speaker Mike Johnson asserts he intends to stay in leadership as dynamics unfold.

Senate seals bipartisan stopgap to avert October shutdown through December

Senate leaders announced a bipartisan continuing resolution to fund the government at current levels through Dec. 11, aiming to avert a Oct. 1 shutdown and buy time for longer-term funding after the midterms. The House must sign off on the plan (they're in August recess), and the bill includes adjustments to SNAP and WIC, disaster relief, and national security programs, while closing fund-transfer loopholes and blocking a White House grant-cancellation proposal.

Thune fights to move shrinking Senate agenda under Trump pressure

With about eight legislative days left before the August recess, the Senate is scrambling to pass a government funding stopgap, a Russia sanctions bill and dozens of nominations, while President Trump pressures Republicans to back the SAVE America Act for election-related funding—votes on that front are uncertain. Senators Mike Lee and Rick Scott have signaled opposition to adjourning until SAVE America passes, potentially impacting leadership dynamics. Key votes this week include Jay Clayton’s DNI nomination and possibly Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination, as lawmakers weigh a December funding package and a cryptocurrency bill (the Clarity Act) that may be punted to next week.

House Advances Stopgap Funding to Avert Shutdown Through December 4

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown through December 4 by a 220-205 vote and sent it to the Senate, where bipartisan support is uncertain; with funding authority due to lapse September 30, Republicans argue the measure prevents Democratic obstruction, while Democrats criticized it as hastily conceived and lacking reforms, underscoring ongoing negotiations ahead of the midterm elections.

House votes to fund government through December as midterm clock ticks

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to keep the government open through December 4, aiming to avert a shutdown ahead of the midterms, but it faces a difficult path in the Senate where Democrats oppose the measure and back their own funding plan; Republicans blame Democrats for a potential shutdown. Separately, lawmakers are advancing a $95 billion reconciliation framework for defense, farmers, and election-related measures, with Trump urging support, though some Republicans seek offsets and less partisan provisions.

Senate mulls its own stopgap as House pushes a separate funding patch

Top Senate appropriators are weighing a Senate-only stopgap with 'anomalies' (exemptions) to keep government funded, while House Republicans move a separate, clean stopgap through Dec. 4. The White House wants some anomalies included; Senate Democrats, led by Patty Murray, are wary of House flaws and are considering their own package with tweaks. The situation sets up a potential clash over funding rules as the fiscal year approaches and the full appropriations process stalls.

Recon 3.0 in peril as Johnson races to lock GOP on a $95B budget framework

Johnson is pushing Recon 3.0, a $95 billion GOP budget framework, through House committees, but several fiscal hawks haven’t committed yet, risking a delay past the August recess. The push hinges on committee support and offsets, with leadership signaling a possible future reconciliation bill (4.0) to cover remaining priorities. Meanwhile, Democrats press on Trump’s election-security agenda and a separate effort on bipartisan paid leave, as House Republicans weigh a stopgap funding measure that could be tied to the SAVE America Act ahead of the midterms.

Health mystery shadows McConnell as Senate returns to critical funding debates

Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, has not appeared publicly since June 14 and remains hospitalized with undisclosed illness, prompting questions as Congress reconvenes for a four-week session focused on defense spending and government funding. His absence could complicate GOP efforts with a 53-47 majority and no proxy voting, since he chairs key committees. While his team says he is improving and engaged with staff, Danish-level transparency has been urged by Kentucky Governor Beshear and others. The situation raises broader concerns about aging leaders, succession rules, and how vacancies would be handled—potentially triggering a special election under Kentucky law or leaving the seat empty until January.
