- House Republicans canceled the last two weeks of their September session, leaving House lawmakers with at least 15 weeks off between Memorial Day and the Nov. 3 midterms.
- House Democrats began outlining what STAT described as a "fuzzy" health care agenda during the one week the House was in town, to be pursued should they win back the chamber in November.
Why it matters: With the House adjourned for roughly 15 weeks before midterms, any legislative agenda Democrats are shaping now is purely preparatory — its substance matters only if they retake the chamber, making this a signal of priorities rather than imminent policy.
