Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - House plans to take up its first 2027 spending bill for military construction-VA of the year when it returns for votes next week. The bill, which provides $157 billion in discretionary funding, was unanimously approved 58-0 last month by the House Appropriations Cmte that added additional funding to implement the toxic exposure PACT Act law in 2028. Amendments to the bill are due to the Rules Cmte for possible floor consideration by Thursday.

.@Politico food and agriculture policy reporter Grace Yarrow (@YarrowGrace) on the House 2026 Farm Bill vote allowing SNAP benefits to be used to purchase hot rotisserie chickens.
"It's a little bit silly to some folks, because a hot rotisserie chicken is currently not allowed to be purchased with SNAP benefits, but you could sell someone with SNAP benefits a cold rotisserie chicken -- so if it's cooked the same way but just refrigerated afterward."

Criminal Division @DOJCrimDiv - GoodFellas Gang Member Sentenced to 10 Years for a Drive-by Shooting
“Gang shootings in public places are all too common,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva. “The defendant and his gang terrorized customers at a gas station, unleashing more than 30 rounds, endangering innocent victims, and even hitting a car containing children. Violent gang activity that imperils innocent lives has no place in our communities. It must be rooted out entirely.”
