Congress has a plate more full than Thanksgiving dinner when they return to Washington, with deadlines on funding and other policies fast approaching and the Biden impeachment inquiry reaching a pivotal moment.
Lawmakers jetted home to spend the holiday week in their districts after narrowly avoiding a shutdown with a stopgap spending bill that bought them until the new year to work out a long-term government funding plan - wrapping up a marathon 10 weeks of session in the House.
But after the week's respite, here's what to look out for on Capitol Hill:
Biden Impeachment
Top Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry say they have 12-15 more interviews to conduct, and are planning a deposition of Hunter and James Biden in December.

They must then decide whether to vote on impeachment articles - and force moderates to make a politically fraught vote on whether or not to impeach the president.
Republicans would likely accuse the president of improperly using his office to further his family's business dealings. They are also probing whether there was political bias in the tax and gun crimes case against Hunter Biden.
Ending an impeachment inquiry without a vote, or with a failed vote, would be an embarrassing defeat for Republicans, and would effectively look like it cleared the president of any wrongdoing.
Spending deadline drama
Congress will now run up against two new funding deadlines as they try to hash out the details of a longer term spending plan.
Speaker Mike Johnson passed a two-part continuing resolution, CR, to punt the government funding deadline into the new year - despite cries from hardline conservatives - eight of whom ousted Kevin McCarthy for passing a CR.

“Republicans are narrowing in on their impeachment inquiry with Hunter and James Biden testimony”
I’m sure Republicans are narrowing in on their excuses for letting them go Scot free.
Should only take a year or so. Then it will be oops, Biden's no longer president and unlike the dems, we don't go after ex-presidents cuz that's bad decorum.
We need a new Inquiry into January 6. This time the goal should be to expose the truth and seek justice.
They need push the dems plan to raise taxes in 2025.

I, for one, am gratified that
<><>the Biden CIA has been ordered to determine how to knock Trump out of the race
<><>And its wonderful the Biden FBI is trying to find the elusive ‘lone wolf’ conservative
<><>plus Biden Air Marshals are secretly surveiling all J6- era air passengers 24/7
<><>or else they’d have nothing to do (sob).
At least they can justify their paychecks (sniffle).
Ha, Ha, ha. Impeachment inquiry? Not even two % of ‘merica believe Joe Biden will be impeached, let alone removed.
Probably less know of his manifold crimes, lifelong corruption, selling out the USA for his own personal profit, or how he managed to acquire multiple mansions.
I got a better idea..
Let’s get JJ over on the judiciary committee, to begin impeaching these rogue judges.
In other words JJ, do your friggin job.
A Chinese Illegal in the US breached our “secure border”
LOL the border has the welcome matt out and the neon arrow pointing to ENTER HERE.
Meanwhile Biden’s other Air Marshals are handing out water to the illegals crossing the border.
Human sacrifice, in one form or another, is always on the government plate.
The Biden crime family should consume 10% of the House’s energy.
Johnson needs to put a fire under the committee chairs to create twelve different budget bills that make a difference.
And let’s have a reverse J6 Select Committee.
