What’s happening in Congress right now?

Every week Congress rolls out new proposals, votes on budget items and hears testimonies from experts. This week the most talked‑about item is the climate‑action package that aims to cut carbon emissions by 40% over the next decade. Lawmakers from both sides have been arguing over how fast the changes should happen, but the core idea is to push renewable energy and tighten fuel standards.

At the same time, the education funding bill is moving through committees. It proposes extra money for public schools in low‑income areas, plus grants for teacher training. If it passes, students in under‑served districts could see smaller class sizes and better resources.

Another hot topic is the healthcare reform amendment. It tries to lower prescription drug prices by letting the government negotiate directly with manufacturers. Supporters say it will make medicines more affordable; opponents worry it could limit choices. The vote is expected next Thursday, and the outcome will shape how we pay for health care for years.
