特朗普呼吁将《拯救美国法案》与FISA法案捆绑
福克斯新闻首席国会通讯员查德·珀格拉姆详细报道了唐纳德·特朗普总统颇具争议的要求：将《外国情报监控法》（FISA）反恐监控法案的延期与选民身份立法《拯救美国法案》绑定。南达科他州共和党参议员约翰·图恩对这一捆绑提案的可行性表示怀疑，而纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默则批评特朗普的举动“极其鲁莽”。

我们已经进入赛季足够久，可以对各支球队和球员今年的表现有大致判断。
我们能看出哪些球员在交易截止日前最容易被弃用。我们也能提前预判今年秋季的赛场走向。
像德州游骑兵队和奥克兰运动家队（现迁至萨克拉门托参赛）这样胜率不足五成的球队，能闯入季后赛吗？巴尔的摩金莺队签下纽约大都会队的皮特·阿隆索，是否物有所值？底特律老虎队会将连续两届赛扬奖得主塔里克·斯库巴尔交易至亚特兰大勇士队还是克利夫兰守护者队？
所有这些问题，都将在不到一个月后的全明星赛休赛期变得更加清晰。
国会的情况也是如此。但国会山的日程安排比棒球赛季要紧凑一些。没错，美国职业棒球大联盟的世界大赛第七场可能在10月31日进行。而中期选举的投票日是11月3日。

不过，国会山的时间框架比棒球赛程更加紧凑。
在某些方面，国会已经度过了相当于棒球赛季“八月淡季”的立法空窗期。事实上，参众两院在8月几乎都不会召开会议——即便有一天开会，也形同虚设。他们会在9月复会，然后再次休会，直到中期选举结束。
除非再次出现长时间的政府停摆，而这一可能性非常大。
美国政府的财年将于美国东部时间9月30日23:59:59结束。是的，两党议员都希望在秋季中期选举前赶回家竞选。但去年创纪录的43天全面政府停摆，可能只是今年国会立法僵局的前菜。
此外，如果民主党再次就医疗保健问题或移民海关执法局及边境巡逻局缺乏监管措施展开激烈争论——尽管共和党本月早些时候刚为这些机构在特朗普总统任期剩余时间内提供了资金——他们可能会将政府停摆和让华盛顿一切事务陷入停滞视为等同于竞选活动的手段。
参议院本周正在开会，众议院则休会。本周国会山传出大量传言，称众议院可能会在下次工作周期结束后让全体议员放假，直到9月。官方日程显示众议院会议将持续到7月2日。去年通过《超级宏伟法案》后，众议院在7月中旬提前一天休会，进入8月休假期。不难想象，众议院今年也可能会提前休会。
不过，众议院拨款委员会主席汤姆·科尔（俄克拉荷马州共和党人）希望在休会前推动几项拨款法案在全院表决。众议院已经通过了12项法案中的两项：一项用于军事建设和退伍军人项目，另一项用于农业项目。
众议院还有望在下周通过能源和水拨款法案，以及一项针对国家安全举措的法案。

共和党希望尽快通过年度国防拨款法案。该法案占所有可自由支配开支（国会每年拨款的资金）的一半以上。共和党可能需要效仿去年的做法，即众议院仅依靠共和党议员的投票通过国防预算案。但如果众议院通过了五角大楼的拨款法案，那么下一财年约80%的开支将获得批准。
然而，参议院则是另一回事。参议院拨款委员会主席苏珊·柯林斯（缅因州共和党人）在过去几周取消了多项制定拨款法案的计划会议。她指责民主党缺乏合作。
话虽如此，参议院的控制权可能取决于缅因州的选情，因为柯林斯今年秋季将与处境艰难的民主党候选人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳竞争连任。普拉特纳背负的包袱比杜勒斯国际机场的行李搬运工还要多，但民主党仍然坚定支持他。民主党人无意向柯林斯妥协，也不想在秋季选举前让她轻易获得任何“胜利”。

虽然众议院的拨款程序可能勉强推进，但参议院的相关进程几乎陷入停滞。这种国会立法僵局可能会从参议院蔓延至众议院。一些众议院议员可能会质疑，如果他们的法案在参议院注定失败，他们为什么还要留下来推进法案。两党议员都将面临更大压力，不如让所有人提前返乡，而非开展这种学术层面的演练。
让我们快进到秋季的拨款截止日期。双方根本无法达成共识。如果参众两院在今年秋季的选举中都处于摇摆状态，民主党就没有理由提供帮助。特朗普总统在去年的政府停摆期间也没有表现出谈判的意愿。这次情况可能会更糟。这就是政府停摆可能即将来临的原因。
问题在于，议员们是否会留在华盛顿度过整个10月，试图解决问题——尽管他们更愿意回到各自选区和州内开展竞选活动。请记住，众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（路易斯安那州共和党人）在去年的秋季停摆期间，曾让众议院大部分时间处于休会状态。

还有一项可能是规模最大的法案：“和解法案3.0”。
没人确切知道共和党会在这项大规模法案中加入哪些内容，就像去年的《超级宏伟法案》一样。特朗普总统坚定主张，在五角大楼年度预算之外，再增加3500亿美元的军事开支——主要用于伊朗战争。这笔资金还将用于补充海外耗尽的弹药储备。
一些共和党人认为，他们应该处理医疗保健问题。但特朗普政府目前仍没有真正可行的医疗保健提案。减税是肯定的，或许还能降低生活成本。当然，特朗普总统还希望将《拯救美国法案》纳入这项法案，该法案要求选民提供公民身份证明才能投票。但总统刚刚坚持要求国会共和党人将《拯救美国法案》与续签FISA法案的议案捆绑在一起。
无论如何，《拯救美国法案》都无法满足参议院特殊的预算规则要求。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（南达科他州共和党人）曾多次表示，他不会解雇参议院的预算“裁判”——议会事务秘书伊丽莎白·麦克多诺。

处境艰难的共和党议员们希望今年秋季能有另一项政策法案用于竞选造势。但外界对此存在诸多质疑。如果让议员们提前离开国会山，这将传递出一个信号：他们无法通过“和解法案3.0”。
在美国职业棒球大联盟中，我们通常在7月下旬或8月初就能判断出，哪怕是一支普通球队是否还有打进季后赛的微弱可能。交易截止日是8月3日——尽管有些球队可能会提前很久就开始囤积球员或清理阵容。
战绩不佳的球队和球员将打完剩余赛季的所有比赛，然后打包行李进入休赛期。
国会的情况与此类似。当选的第119届国会议员将任职至美国东部时间2027年1月3日23:59:59。一些议员不过是在熬到任期结束。

在棒球界，人们对纽约大都会队、辛辛那提红人队和休斯顿太空人队本赛季寄予厚望。赛季甚至还没到一半，但这些球队的未来发展并不符合预期。
国会山的情况也是如此。我们很快就会知道，这里的未来是否也已经“今非昔比”。

Reporter’s Notebook: Capitol Hill’s legislative clock is ticking ahead of the midterms
Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins blaming Democrats for lack of cooperation

Trump calls for SAVE America Act to be linked to FISA bill
Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram details President Donald Trump’s controversial demand to link the extension of the FISA anti-terror surveillance law with voter ID legislation, the SAVE America Act. Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., expresses doubt about the feasibility of this linkage, while Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., criticizes Trump’s move as ‘deeply reckless.’
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
We’re deep enough into the season to have a sense of how the year is going for various clubs and players.
We see which players are most expendable by the trade deadline. And we get an early line on what to anticipate this fall.
Could sub-.500 clubs like the Texas Rangers or The Athletics (now playing in Sacramento) make the postseason? Did the Baltimore Orioles get what they paid for when they signed Pete Alonso from the New York Mets? Will the Detroit Tigers deal back-to-back Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal to the Atlanta Braves or Cleveland Guardians?
All becomes clearer as we approach the All-Star Break in less than a month.
The same is true in Congress. But the schedule is a little more advanced on Capitol Hill compared to the baseball calendar. Yes, Major League Baseball would play a potential Game 7 of the World Series on Oct. 31. Election Day for the midterms is Nov. 3.

However, the Capitol Hill timeframe is more truncated than the baseball slate.
In some respects, Congress is already past its legislative equivalent of the Dog Days of August. In fact, both the House and Senate will likely be out of session for all but a day – if that – in August. They’ll be back in September and then out again until after the midterm.
That is, unless there’s another lengthy government shutdown. And that’s a distinct possibility.
The government’s fiscal year expires at 11:59:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 30. Yes, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle want to rush home in the fall to campaign before the midterms. But last year’s record 43-day comprehensive government shutdown may just be a legislative amuse bouche of what we’re in for this year.
Plus, if Democrats again go to the mat over healthcare or the lack of guardrails for ICE and Border Patrol – despite Republicans just funding those agencies for the rest of the Trump presidency earlier this month – they may view a government shutdown and bogging down everything in Washington as the equivalent of campaigning.
The Senate is meeting this week. The House is out. Chatter started ricocheting around the Capitol this week that the House might consider sending everyone home until September at the end of the next work period. The official calendar has the House meeting through July 2. After adopting the One Big Beautiful Bill last summer, the House left for its August recess a day early in mid-July. One could see the House conceivably cutting town a bit early this year too.
That said, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., wants to advance a few spending bills across the floor before the recess. The House has already approved two of the 12 bills: one for military construction and veterans programs. The other for agriculture.
The House is poised to approve the Energy and Water spending bill next week as well as one for national security initiatives.

Republicans would like to approve the annual defense funding measure soon. That bill consumes well over half of all discretionary spending (money which Congress allocates each year). The GOP may need to follow suit from last year where the House passed the defense plan with only Republican votes. But if the House greenlights the Pentagon’s bill, it will have approved around 80 percent of all spending for the next fiscal year.
However, the Senate is another question. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Susan Collins, R-Maine, canceled planned sessions to craft multiple spending bills over the past few weeks. She’s blamed Democrats for lack of cooperation.
That said, control of the Senate may hinge on Maine as Collins faces embattled Democratic nominee Graham Platner this fall. Platner lugs around more baggage than a skycap at Dulles International Airport. But Democrats are sticking with Platner. Democrats are in no mood to cede any ground to Collins or present her with any easy “wins” ahead of the fall.

While the House appropriations process may limp along, it’s all but paralyzed in the Senate. This is where a congressional contagion could spread from the Senate to the House. Some House lawmakers may question why they should stick around to tackle any bills if they’re on a road to oblivion in the Senate. Pressure will ramp up on both sides of the aisle to let everyone go home early rather than engage in an academic exercise.
And let’s fast-forward to fall and the funding deadline. The sides simply are not getting along at all. There’s no incentive for Democrats to help if both the House and Senate are in play this fall. President Trump demonstrated no incentive to negotiate during last year’s government shutdown. It could be worse this time around. That’s why a shutdown may be in the cards.
The question is whether lawmakers stay in Washington for the month of October and try to figure things out when they’d rather be in their districts and states campaigning. Remember, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., kept the House out for most of the autumn shutdown last year.

And then there is the biggest possible bill of all: “Reconciliation 3.0.”
No one really knows exactly what Republicans would stash in a massive package, ala last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill. President Trump is adamant that they add $350 billion in additional military spending on top of the Pentagon’s annual budget measure – mostly to cover the war in Iran. This would also restock munitions exhausted overseas.
Some Republicans believe they should address health care. Yet there’s still no bona fide health care proposal from the Trump Administration. There will be tax cuts. Maybe lower the cost of living. Of course, President Trump also wants the SAVE America Act tacked on to this bill. It requires proof of citizenship to vote. But the president just insisted that congressional Republicans latch the SAVE America Act to a bill to renew FISA.
Either way, the SAVE America Act wouldn’t pass muster with special Senate budget rules. And Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said repeatedly he would not fire the Senate’s budget umpire, Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough.

Vulnerable Republicans would love to have another policy bill to campaign on this fall. But there’s lots of skepticism. And any decision to dismiss lawmakers from Capitol Hill early would serve as a signal that there’s no way they can pass “Reconciliation 3.0.”
In Major League Baseball, we usually know by late July or early August if even an average team has an outside shot at the playoffs. The trade deadline is Aug. 3 – although some clubs may try to stock up or unload well before then.
Teams and players on the wrong side of the ledger will play out the string through the end of the season. Then pack up for the hot stove league.
Congress is similar. Members elected to the 119th Congress are in office until 11:59:59 p.m. ET on Jan. 3, 2027. Some are just running out the string.

In baseball, there were high expectations this season for the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds and Houston Astros. The season isn’t even to its mid-point. But the future isn’t panning out for these clubs.
The same is true on Capitol Hill. We’ll know soon if the future is what “it used to be,” here too.
