  "summary": "Congressional members are returning to Capitol Hill for the first time following sweeping midterm wins for Democrats, according to CBS News.\n\nThe Senate is scheduled to convene at 3 p.m. EST on Monday to take up bipartisan legislation designed to accelerate permitting reviews for infrastructure projects and data centers. PBS NewsHour reports the Senate is expected to hold a procedural vote on the bill, which seeks to shorten timelines for starting both clean energy and fossil fuel projects while requiring data centers to pay for the energy they consume.\n\nDonald Trump urged senators to support the legislation in a Sunday social media post, describing it as a way to build pipelines, mines, and power plants faster to lower energy costs for families.",
