"Spending Fight Will Headline 'Fairly Brief' Lame Duck"

"Lingering rancor over immigration remains the primary hurdle for wrapping up the 115th Congress, keeping in limbo the fate of spending for EPA and the Interior Department, the expired Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), and key energy tax breaks.

Both chambers are scheduled to be in session today [Tuesday] for the first time since Election Day, which handed House Democrats one lever of power to fight back against President Trump's administration.

In the Senate, which will cast a procedural vote on a Coast Guard reauthorization bill tonight, Republicans will maintain a slim majority next year, with the final ratio hinging on the outcome of vote counting in Florida."
