Capitol agenda: Senate stopgap sets up fall clash with House

The Senate is advancing a bipartisan stopgap funding bill to keep federal agencies operational through December, setting up a potential conflict with the House in September. The bill includes provisions blocking President Trump's plan to appoint political officials for grant approvals and avoids new funding for immigration enforcement, while omitting requested military boosts. Senate leaders aim to pass the measure before recess, with House lawmakers needing to decide whether to accept the Senate's version or pursue their own.
