POLITICO's Inside Congress newsletter reports House Republicans abruptly pulled the Take Care of America's Veterans Act on July 16 after narrowly defeating, 211-210, a Democratic motion to recommit, with Speaker Mike Johnson blaming misinformation and saying the bill, whose centerpiece is the Major Richard Star Act, will be delayed for several weeks. The newsletter also covers Todd Blanche's meeting with Jeffrey Epstein's survivors, the House Budget Committee's party-line $95 billion budget resolution, stalled talks on the Clarity Act crypto bill, the Gillibrand-Boozman paid leave bill, and Senate briefings on Anthropic's Mythos model.
