We’re unpacking H.R. 1 in order, Title by Title. First up, Title I’s farm and nutrition reforms, then Title II’s defense funding, all the way through Title X’s infrastructure investments—and finally Title XI, the Ways & Means tax package nicknamed the “Big Beautiful Bill.” We’ll give you a clear, sequential breakdown of what each section does—and why it matters—without skipping a beat.

In this two-week (06-15-2025 to 06-29-2025) legislative wrap-up, we break down two joint resolutions that recently passed into law — one blocking changes to how bank mergers are reviewed, and another rejecting an EPA rule that would’ve relaxed emissions standards for major polluters.

We’ll explain:

• Why the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s bank merger rule got scrapped

• What it means for how banks combine and serve communities

• Why the EPA’s reclassification plan was overturned — and what that means for factories and air quality

Whether you're team regulation or reform, we keep it clear, neutral, and easy to follow.

Stay sharp. Stay informed. This is Policy in Public.
