🎙️ On today’s Capital Clarity, Lynn and Cody cover a week of precedent-setting moves in Congress. 🏛️ In the Senate, lawmakers established a new simple-majority standard for cloture on bundled nominations, advanced that resolution, continued debate on the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act, and reported nominees for the Federal Reserve, courts, embassies, and regulatory posts. Committees also pressed on retirement policy, land use, energy, and military leadership. Over in the House, members passed the Stop Illegal Entry Act, rejected instructions on the Military Construction–VA spending bill, filed reports on energy and student-athlete measures, and appointed conferees and members to a January 6 subcommittee. With defense, immigration, and appropriations in play, Congress set the table for next week’s debates. ⚡ No spin, no fluff—just the essentials from Capitol Hill.
