- House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., released the House two weeks early despite protests from members who wanted to advance an Epstein files discharge petition.
- It remains unclear how election outcomes could influence appropriations negotiations, which have imploded multiple times during the 119th Congress, resulting in record-long government shutdowns.
- Lawmakers punted the government shutdown deadline to Dec 11 by passing a continuing resolution, leaving Congress in recess with extraordinarily little time to finish the appropriations process.
