Congressional work continues during August recess, with the Senate passing a two-bill appropriations package (Labor-HHS and Defense) last week by an 87-2 vote.

Agriculture Committee leadership continues to work on a compromise Farm Bill, but remain far apart on their respective approaches to SNAP work requirements.
