"Democrats are coming back today from a two-week recess with a last-gasp chance at finding consensus on a budget reconciliation package that could funnel hundreds of billions for clean energy technology to combat climate change.

Lawmakers are working under a tight time frame. Most Senate Democrats are eyeing Memorial Day as the target date for striking a new deal.
