AXIOS (Stef W. Kight) - GOP senators endure painful week with little to show for it

Exhausted GOP senators are preparing to fly home mostly empty-handed after staying in D.C. longer than expected. Why it matters: The midterm outlook is getting bleaker by the day, and Republicans have a monster to-do list for the lame-duck session that could be a last chance to capitalize on their trifecta. Between the lines: Republicans decided against breaking for an early recess last week. - The biggest thing to show for it: A historic — and bipartisan — college sports package that doesn't do much for those defending their seats in November. It faces long odds in the House. Otherwise it was a week of pain: - Failed votes: A vote addressing Americans' concerns about data centers driving up energy costs failed today, as did…

AXIOS (Barak Ravid) - Scoop: Rubio ordered Iranian delegation to leave the country, U.S. official says
