Budget deal on track despite grumbling on the left and right

Budget deal on track despite grumbling on the left andright-politico: Capitol Hill leaders are increasingly confident that a massive two-year budget bill will clear Congress before the August recess, buoyed by President Donald Trump's endorsement and minor opposition from the left and right. The deal is expected to win wide support from across the House Democratic caucus on the floor this week, according to multiple lawmakers and aides. Some progressive Democrats have grumbled about the deal, but none have threatened to oppose it outright, and leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus are still discussing it internally.
