That's the good news. The fine print? Congress basically bought itself another 15 weeks to finish the work it was already supposed to have done. The legislation keeps federal agencies funded through December 11, meaning government workers can stay on the job, federal programs continue operating, and Americans don't have to deal with another shutdown—at least not yet....]]></description><link>https://www.political-fine-print.com/post/government-shutdown-avoided-for-now</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a99cc3da6d208e948706be2</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 19:38:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/56afa6_c9678e178dd04effb63d54afd595aeaf~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Gwen Lombardi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Congress Is Leaving Early.

That means House members are now scheduled to leave Washington on September 17 and not return until after the November election. Yes, you read that correctly. With Americans worried about the cost of living, an ongoing war with Iran, and plenty of unfinished business in Washington, the House is essentially saying: See you after Election Day. So why are they...]]></description><link>https://www.political-fine-print.com/post/congress-is-leaving-early-again-the-fine-print-matters</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a99b8c13f51da93f3410ba3</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 18:21:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/56afa6_17a4d51063a34754aa2de0fcfb812167~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Gwen Lombardi</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When “Ending Discrimination” Becomes an Attack on Diversity]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Trump administration says it wants to stop racial discrimination in schools. But as usual, the fine print matters. The Treasury Department and IRS have proposed new regulations that could strip private schools and colleges of their federal tax-exempt status if they use race in admissions, scholarships, financial aid, athletics, or other school programs. On the surface, that can sound pretty reasonable. Nobody should support racial discrimination. But keep reading.
