New: Senate Rs are looking at a three-bill package of Milcon-VA, Ag and Leg Branch, though no final decision yet. CJS is unlikely to make the cut due to FBI issue, and Dems haven't yet decided if they will provide votes needed to move forward. More: plus.cq.com/doc/news-82902…

NEW: The Senate Armed Services Committee voted late last evening to approve its fiscal 2026 defense policy bill, the NDAA, according to aides.
A bunch of Senate Appropriators stuck on the senate subway (in the middle of a markup, en route to floor votes) Could this drive LegBranch investment???
Another change to the reconciliation bill the Senate passed today: it dropped a requirement that at least one parent setting up a child's "Trump account" be an U.S. citizen. However, the child must be a citizen. Senate Dems fought to remove this requirement during the Byrd bath.
News: Treasury has invited some members of the House Freedom Caucus to a Tuesday evening meeting ahead of the House taking up the reconciliation bill Wednesday, per source familiar. Treasury Sec. Bessent is expected to attend the meeting, as WH tries to lock in votes.
A win for wind and solar compared to earlier Senate draft: looks like projects already underway or starting construction within 12 months would be exempt from the more aggressive clean energy credit phaseout requiring a project to be complete and ready for use by 2028 to qualify.
On clean energy, Republicans' wraparound amendment struck a new excise tax on wind and solar projects relying on "material assistance" from adversarial countries. The sector's supply chains are heavily reliant on China. The Chamber of Commerce had called to remove the provision.
