- House Republicans canceled the last two weeks of their September session, meaning lawmakers will have gotten at least 15 weeks off between Memorial Day and the Nov. 3 midterms.
- House Democrats began outlining a health care agenda they would pursue if they win back the House, though the source characterizes the early shape as only a "fuzzy outline."
Why it matters: With the midweeks now Nov. 3 and the House out until after Labor Day, Democrats have limited floor time to sharpen health care priorities into actionable legislation. The 15-week recess figure underscores how little legislative runway remains before voters decide control of the chamber.
