NINE DAYS OF LEGISLATIVE FURY: The House returns today, and the Senate tomorrow, and both chambers are facing an enormous backlog before heading home for seven weeks of summertime recess. Legislators are hoping to pass their pet bills by July 15, since they know they'll likely be swallowed up in omnibus dramatics or Election Year hoo hah when Congress returns in September. For the record, exactly none of the following energy bills appear on Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's weekly agenda, which would leave only next week for them to move.
