The context was pretty clear!

News in PM: Sen. Rounds (SD) wants answers from FHFA Director Bill Pulte. Rounds will meet with Pulte this month with Qs about his campaign against top Fed officials. "I don't understand some of the actions that have been taken more recently.” >>>

News: House Democrats had an angry caucus mtg this morning over government funding & a possible shutdown. Rank-and-file Dems want party leaders - especially Schumer - to be willing to shut down the government in order to get what they want on Obamacare & Medicaid

NEWS: The Senate Appropriations Committee will mark up the FY2026 Department of Homeland Security funding bill on Thursday. The markup is officially being noticed. @AndrewDesiderio and I reported earlier today that SFOPs was also targeted for the markup but has slipped

House Approps Chair Tom Cole says he’s meeting with the speaker tomorrow on appropriations negotiations. Cole wants a CR to November packaged with a few approps bills, MilCon-VA, Ag and Leg Branch. Hopes that would jumpstart topline talks
