Tuesday: Terrorism, omnibus

by Jordain Carney - 12/15/15 10:03 AM ET

House lawmakers on Tuesday will vote on legislation taking aim at terrorist groups’ use of social media.

The House is expected to convene at noon for morning hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business. A vote on two proposals, including Rep. Ted Poe’s legislation, are expected at 6:30 p.m.

No votes are currently scheduled in the Senate, but lawmakers are expected to recess from 12:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. for weekly policy lunches.

Lawmakers are still waiting for the omnibus spending bill to be released, with Republican senators suggesting on Monday evening that they are close to a deal.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Tuesday morning that the omnibus would be filed later Tuesday, which could allow the House to vote on Thursday.

With lawmakers facing a Wednesday deadline to pass spending legislation, they’ll need to pass another short-term continuing resolution to avoid a shutdown.
