• A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah – there might be news today already.
• The Office of Management and Budget is requesting roughly $100 billion for more than a dozen federal agencies to help with natural disaster recovery.

• Speeding up environmental goals – grants and project approvals.
• Student loan forgiveness – the Education Department has been hurrying to finalize a new federal rule that would cancel student loans for people who face financial hardship.
• Racing to deliver billions of dollars of promised chip manufacturing grants to Intel and others to complete a significant portion of a favored program of President Biden.
