Hi, I have a question again.

This is from an article of USA Today. It looks easy but actually I can't find the Subject and Verb in this sentence. Can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance!

It's not a complete sentence. It's some kind of heading, eg for a newspaper article.

Here is a full sentence.

Senators are deadlocked over the Republicans’ insistence (that) a provision ending certain emergency Federal Reserve powers be included in the bill.

As a matter of fact, this is not the headline of the article. It's the second paragraph of the article. So "deadlocked" is the verb.
