This looks like it will be the final week of the 117th Congress… and it’s going to be a busy one. The clock is ticking on the Democratic House majority, and they are looking to wrap up some unfinished business before Republicans move in and take control. Number one on that list is to close out the Jan. 6 select committee, the panel created last year to investigate the attack on the Capitol by angry Donald Trump supporters. Another unanswered question for House Democrats: what to do with Trump’s taxes? Tomorrow the Ways and Means Committee is set to meet and hash that out. 

The real must-do on the list however is to pass a bill funding the government. Congress has until Friday to do that, and it appears this morning they are on track to do so. But there is some unresolved intrigue surrounding what might get attached to the big year-end bill.
