Both men serve on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

After a narrow 215–214 vote in the House, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is now headed to the Senate, where it will face what Capitol Hill insiders call a legislative "birdbath."As Congress returns from recess, lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol are gearing up for a busy week. The Senate will begin work on the House-passed reconciliation package, while the House turns its attention to the appropriations process for the 2026 fiscal year.

In a room down this underground Capitol hallway, @POTUS is meeting with House R’s right now, trying to get moderates & hardliners to unify behind the Big Beautiful Bill, pass and send it to the Senate. Currently, it doesn’t have the votes. @NEWS9 @NewsOn6 https://t.co/TJB6DFhnfe
