Senate Returns to Packed Agenda Amid Crypto Legislation Hurdles

The US Senate returns to work this week with a packed agenda, including crypto legislation, the farm bill, and the budget resolution that Republicans need to unlock a third reconciliation package.

Conservative fiscal hawks have expressed concerns about the lack of spending offsets in the budget resolution, which could make it difficult for Republicans to pass.

The Senate Agriculture Committee is expected to hold another vote on the farm bill, which failed to advance out of committee last month due to Republican absences and Democratic opposition.
