Congress is on the brink of a rare bipartisan victory: From the Politics Desk

Key Points:

• Congress is poised to pass a bipartisan housing affordability bill this week, marking a rare legislative win for the GOP during President Trump's second term, with the Senate already voting 87-8 to advance it.
• The bill, crafted by a diverse group of lawmakers including Sen. Tim Scott and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, aims to increase housing supply by cutting red tape and restrict institutional investors from buying homes, addressing key affordability concerns.
• Despite the housing bill's progress, Republican efforts to highlight this achievement are overshadowed by ongoing controversies surrounding Trump's Iran policy, surveillance program decisions, and a costly Lincoln Memorial renovation plan.
• In separate developments, U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland have laid a "good foundation" for a deal to end the war within 60 days, with agreements on communication channels and Iran permitting IAEA inspections, although technical negotiations continue.
• The talks also included a proposed solution by Jared Kushner to unfreeze Iranian assets for purchasing U.S. agricultural goods, reflecting a "classic Trump deal," while oil prices fell below $75 amid improving Strait of Hormuz traffic.
