🎙️ On today’s Capital Clarity, Lynn and Cody unpack a packed week on Capitol Hill. 🏛️ The Senate opened debate on the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act with an 83–13 vote, advanced judicial nominations, and queued up a Homeland Security post. Over in the House, lawmakers passed the Energy and Water Development bill by a razor-thin 214–213 margin after rejecting high-profile amendments. Committees pressed nominees on housing, energy, and health policy, while the Helsinki Commission spotlighted Central Asia’s response to Russia’s war. 🌍 No spin, no fluff—just the essentials delivered clearly and directly.
