TPMDC’s update on the biggest legislative initiatives on the Hill:

  • Health Care: The marathon mark-up of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee’s health care reform bill continued. Meanwhile, with the idea of capping the health insurance tax exclusion now on ice, a Finance Committee staffer unveiled some of the other funding schemes the panel is considering.
  • Climate Change: Looks like the Senate action on climate change legislation has been pushed back to September.
  • Nominations: The Senate Judiciary Committee released the witness list for Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearing. The hearing will begin on Monday, stretching on for days. And the GOP has invited a few doozies to testify.
