We’ll continue to post in weeks when both chambers of Congress hold floor votes. HEADLINES • The Senate will begin consideration of a comprehensive bill aiming to bolster U.S. competitiveness with China. • The House agenda focuses on U.S. Capitol security, including the establishment of a 9/11-style commission on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. • The White House faces a potentially crucial week on multiple fronts: internationally with Gaza City escalating into full-scale war, domestically with cyberattack-induced gasoline shortages and economic jitters at home, and politically as prospects for bipartisanship on a major infrastructure bill remain alive but fragile.
