    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published its annual report as required by the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010. This report covers the budgetary effects of legislation enacted during the second session of the 118th Congress, detailing the PAYGO scorecards that track the financial impacts over 5- and 10-year periods. Due to adjustments made by the American Relief Act of 2025, the scorecards' budgetary balances were set to zero, which means no sequestration order is needed for fiscal year 2025. The report also notes that 46 laws were identified with PAYGO effects, though some were excluded from calculations under specific statutory provisions.

    Nasdaq PHLX LLC filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to adjust certain fees for its market data products based on inflation.
