Hill Republicans are eager to get their reconciliation mega bill to President Donald Trump’s desk by July 4th. But the Senate parliamentarian has deemed large sections of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s portion of the bill in violation of reconciliation budget rules. POLITICO’s James Bikales digs into the measures deemed prohibited, what comes next and what this setback means for the GOP’s “energy dominance” plans. Plus, an EPA staff union has filed a Hatch Act complaint claiming that Administrator Lee Zeldin’s weekly newsletter may be unlawful partisan activity.
