US
  • House Republicans reached an agreement yesterday on a short-term measure to keep the government funded but optimism was fleeting as conservatives immediately took to social media to oppose the bill.
  • The next two weeks will be politically fraught for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). If he fails to prevent a government shutdown, the fallout will be felt in the House elections next year. McCarthy is also facing the ever-present risk of the 'motion to vacate.'
  • President Biden has arrived in NYC for the UNGA. Tomorrow, he will delivered an address to the assembly, convene the first ever summit of the C5+1, meet with Israeli PM Netanyahu and Brazilian President Lula, then head back to DC to meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

  • A prisoner swap with Iran is set to take place today.
