Rescissions, which some conservatives have labeled a \u201cbudgetary gimmick,\u201d essentially claw back spending that Congress has already appropriated for future programs, which allows lawmakers to claim they are funding the government at one level when it is actually at another.<\/p>\n<p>Then, there is the House-Senate clash that is poised to play out. The House is marking up appropriations bill at fiscal 2022 levels \u2014\u00a0an effort to appease conservatives \u2014 while the Senate is moving forward at levels agreed to in President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy\u2019s (R-Calif.) debt limit deal, putting the two chambers on a collision course.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate is also planning to add $13.7 billion in additional emergency funding, which has already sparked opposition from Republicans in the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"House_could_vote_on_resolution_to_censure_Santos\"><\/span>House could vote on resolution to censure Santos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The House this week could vote on a resolution to censure Santos, which a handful of Republicans have already said they would support.<\/p>\n<p>Three House Democrats \u2014 Reps. Ritchie Torres (N.Y.), Robert Garcia (Calif.) and Dan Goldman (N.Y.) \u2014\u00a0introduced a privileged resolution last week that would censure Santos, citing a number of lies he has told pertaining to his educational background and employment history.<\/p>\n<p>Because the resolution is privileged, the trio of Democrats can force a vote on the measure \u2014\u00a0once they call it up for a vote, leadership has to take action within two legislative days.<\/p>\n<p>Torres, who is spearheading the effort, said last week that there was \u201cno final decision yet on a vote\u201d when asked when he would call up the resolution but said, \u201cThe likely timeline is before the August recess,\u201d which begins Friday.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, however, some House Republicans have said they would support the censure resolution if it comes to the floor, which appears to be enough for the measure to be adopted, assuming all Democrats vote \u201cyes.\u201d The resolution only requires a majority vote for approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI called for his resignation, I don\u2019t think he should be a member of Congress and I would vote to censure him,\u201d Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-N.Y.) said last week. Other Republicans in the New York delegation have <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/07\/18\/george-santos-censure-house-republicans\">echoed that stance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Santos, for his part, is brushing aside the censure effort, writing in a statement last week, \u201cDemocrats on the other side of the aisle have completely lost focus on the work they should be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Senate_continues_NDAA_consideration\"><\/span>Senate continues NDAA consideration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Senate this week will continue consideration of the annual defense bill,\u00a0formally called the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).<\/p>\n<p>The chamber is scheduled to vote on two amendments Tuesday \u2014\u00a0one led by Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Bob Casey (D-Pa.), and the other spearheaded by Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). Both are set at 60-vote thresholds.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate is working to approve its version of the NDAA after the House passed its own legislation earlier in the month. The House measure was loaded up with a handful of GOP-sponsored amendments on hot-button issues such as abortion and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, which tanked Democratic support.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate version of the bill is expected to be far less partisan,\u00a0given the fact that it will need 60 votes to pass. The two chambers, however, are then expected to hash out their differences ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Capitol_Hill_braces_for_third_Trump_indictment\"><\/span>Capitol Hill braces for third Trump indictment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Capitol Hill is bracing for a third indictment targeting Trump \u2014\u00a0but this time around, it will hit close to home for lawmakers on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Trump revealed last week that he was informed he is a target of the Justice Department\u2019s investigation into his efforts to stay in power following the 2020 presidential election, which includes the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.<\/p>\n<p>The receipt of a so-called \u201ctarget letter\u201d is often a sign that a formal indictment is coming. Trump last week declined to meet with the grand jury looking into the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s announcement last week fueled GOP claims that federal law enforcement is \u201cweaponized\u201d against Republicans, while Democrats,\u00a0particularly ones who sat on the Jan. 6 select committee, said they were not surprised at the news.<\/p>\n<p>Those dynamics will likely continue this week if Trump is formally charged by the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>Also this week, Hunter Biden is scheduled to make his initial court appearance after entering a plea agreement with federal prosecutors last month. He agreed to plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay income tax, and to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm \u2014\u00a0an agreement that has sparked howls among Republicans, who have called it a sweetheart deal.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden is due at the federal courthouse in Wilmington, Del., on Wednesday at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
