With few exceptions, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointees and their three conservative colleagues have removed obstacles to the president’s plans imposed by lower courts. Will that continue in 2026?

The U.S. Senate is about to vote on a resolution to toss ex-President Biden’s limits on oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and ensure nothing like it is imposed again.

Senate poised to crush Biden restrictions on leasing in Arctic Refuge

Nullifying the Biden limits means the whole coastal plain of ANWR would be available for potential oil and gas leasing. The Congressional Review Act measure goes next to the president.

Schumer announces health care plan

A “clean” three-year extension of Obamacare tax credits is likely to fail on the floor next week. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer officially unveiled Democrats’ plan for a health care vote next week, saying Thursday on the chamber floor his caucus will propose extending soon-to-expire Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years. “This is the bill, a clean three-year extension of ACA tax credits, that Democrats will bring to the floor of the Senate for a vote next Thursday, and every single Democrat will support it,” Schumer said. “Republicans have one week to decide where they stand.” The strategy aligns Senate Democrats with their counterparts in the House — and gives the party a message with which to hammer Republicans heading into next year’s midterms. But the Democratic bill is guaranteed to fail. While many GOP senators say they would back a two-year extension, they’ve said income caps and other new restrictions would need to be added in order to garner sufficient Republican support. Senate Republicans are still mulling whether or not to put up a counterproposal on health care for a vote next week. They are likely to discuss the issue during their closed-door lunch Thursday afternoon.
