Washington D.C. — The House of Representatives began a one-week session Monday with a bill to extend government funding at the top of its agenda. This legislative effort aims to continue federal operations beyond the upcoming midterm elections. Members of Congress will address the funding measure during their brief return to the Capitol. Following this session, legislators will again depart for a recess.
