The House is in recess.

Happy Fiscal New Year: FY2019 begins today, with work completed on five of the 12 regular appropriations bills. The President signed a measure covering the Pentagon and Labor, HHS, and Education departments on Friday after previously signing the Energy and Water, Military Construction-VA and Legislative Branch omnibus. All other programs are operating through Dec. 7 under a continuing resolution, averting a partial government shutdown until after the midterms.
