As Pennsylvania’s budget impasse drags on, Senate Republicans are threatening to scrap a school funding formula adopted last year that targets money to the state’s poorest districts, saying it shortchanges other communities.

The Republican-controlled Pennsylvania Senate passed a bill on Tuesday that would fund SEPTA and avoid major service cuts at the end of the month, but it's expected to face challenges from Democrats in the state House.

Texas Senate approves Republican-drawn redistricting maps in 19-2 vote as nine Democrats walk out in protest while House Democrats remain out of state.

The bill, requested by Trump, is designed to boost GOP control in 2026 but faces stalled action in the House due to a quorum break.

The Texas Senate approved new Republican-drawn congressional maps Tuesday night despite an ongoing walkout by House Democrats aimed at halting the redistricting process. Senators passed the maps in a 19-2 vote after nine Democrats left the floor in protest.

As Pennsylvania’s budget impasse continues, elected officials involved in negotiations have repeatedly said talks are “ongoing” or “progressing.”

With the past fiscal year having ended June 30, Pennsylvania is now over six weeks without a new state budget. But if Tuesday was any indication, the core disagreements are the same as they were six months ago.
