Orders for Wednesday, July 29, 2026

This was a scheduling matter rather than a policy debate. Senator Cotton asked unanimous consent for the Senate to finish its business for the day, adjourn, and reconvene at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 29, with the usual next-day routine to proceed. A bill titled the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 was referenced in connection with the schedule, but no substantive discussion of its contents occurred.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
