As Congress returns from August recess, lawmakers face a packed and high-stakes agenda. With fiscal deadlines looming, the fall legislative session promises both urgency and uncertainty.
From appropriations battles and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to potential movement on reconciliation, healthcare policy, and the long-delayed Farm Bill, the coming weeks will shape the remainder of 2025 — and set the tone for 2026.
