Congress returns for crowded lame-duck session as Hegseth impeachment, government funding deadline loom
Congress is back in session with a packed agenda during a "lame-duck" period (when some members are leaving office). The chamber must pass several major bills in the coming weeks, including funding to prevent a government shutdown, a farm bill, FISA reform, and a defense authorization act. Additionally, an impeachment proceeding involving Hegseth is underway. Lawmakers are currently showing limited willingness to work across party lines to address these urgent items.
