This resolution proposes the impeachment of Attorney General Pamela Bondi for five articles of impeachment related to obstruction of Congress, abuse of prosecutorial power, defiance of courts, and perjury. The bill directly affects the Attorney General and the U.S. Department of Justice by seeking to remove her from office if the Senate convicts her. Key provisions include allegations that Bondi refused to comply with subpoenas and laws requiring the release of Jeffrey Epstein files, terminated career officials for nonpartisan work, and lied under oath to Congress. The resolution also claims she abused DOJ powers to target political opponents, journalists, and protesters while shielding allies from accountability. If passed, this resolution would send the articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial and potential removal from office.
This bill, titled the AI Guardrails Act of 2026, establishes specific restrictions on how the Department of Defense can use artificial intelligence. It prohibits the military from using AI to launch or detonate nuclear weapons, to monitor or target individuals within the United States without a legal basis, and to employ lethal force through autonomous weapon systems without human oversight. The legislation also creates a waiver process that allows the Secretary of Defense to temporarily permit certain autonomous weapon uses under strict conditions, requiring written certification to Congress and detailed notifications about the system's safeguards and testing results.
This bill exempts H-1B visa holders working in healthcare from a presidential restriction that requires a $100,000 payment for entry into the United States. It directly affects foreign medical professionals and healthcare workers who hold H-1B nonimmigrant visas. The legislation removes the additional fee requirement for these workers while limiting any fees that may be charged to the standard amount already established under immigration law. The bill defines healthcare workers using the existing definition from the Affordable Care Act and was introduced in the 119th Congress in March 2026.
This bill establishes a new excise tax on crude oil extracted or imported by large oil companies and uses the revenue to provide rebates to eligible consumers. The tax would be imposed on companies that extract or import over 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day, at a rate of 50% of the difference between the current Brent crude oil price and a 2025 baseline price, adjusted for inflation. All revenue from this tax would be deposited into a new "Protect Consumers from Gas Hikes Fund." This fund would then be used to provide refundable tax credits, or rebates, to eligible individuals, with the rebate amount determined by the Secretary based on fund revenues and the number of eligible individuals. These rebates would be phased out for individuals with adjusted gross incomes exceeding certain thresholds, such as $150,000 for joint filers.
This bill designates the Chí'chil Biłdagoteel Historic District, a traditional cultural place significant to Western Apache and other Native American tribes, as protected land within the Tonto National Forest. It prohibits mining, toxic waste disposal, pipeline construction, and other development activities on the area to preserve its cultural and natural integrity. The legislation requires the Secretary of Agriculture to maintain the land in its natural condition, consult with affected tribes, and ensure continued access for traditional religious and cultural practices. By withdrawing the land from public land laws and mining rights, the bill prevents future extraction projects that could damage sacred sites, water sources, and ecosystems.
This bill establishes a dedicated Transportation Security Trust Fund to ensure money collected from airline passenger security fees is used exclusively for aviation security purposes. The fund would support the Transportation Security Administration by paying salaries and benefits for its personnel, funding passenger and baggage screening operations, and purchasing security technology and infrastructure. Additionally, the legislation guarantees that aviation security operations can continue without interruption during government funding lapses, prioritizing frontline staff compensation and operational expenses before using remaining funds for technology upgrades.
This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a two-year demonstration program that would make certain wound care treatments mandatory for Medicaid coverage for people with epidermolysis bullosa. The program would include over-the-counter medications, antiseptics, antibiotic ointments, and specific wound care supplies such as dressings and bandages. It would operate nationwide and require states to include these items and services in their Medicaid plans or waivers. At the end of the program, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress evaluating the program's impact on treatment costs and health outcomes, along with recommendations on preventing hospitalizations.
This resolution commemorates the fifth anniversary of the March 16, 2021, Atlanta spa shootings that killed eight people and denounces ongoing anti-Asian hate and xenophobic rhetoric. It honors the victims, condemns the violence, and calls for improved hate crime reporting and support services for affected communities. The measure also urges efforts to combat online disinformation, promote education on Asian American history, and expand federal programs aimed at preventing hate crimes.
This bill, titled the Working Americans' Tax Cut Act, proposes two main tax changes: it would create an alternative maximum tax rate of 25.5% for individuals earning less than 175% of a cost-of-living exemption (approximately $46,000 for single filers), and it would impose a progressive surcharge on high-income taxpayers earning over $1 million. The alternative tax would cap the total tax liability for low- and middle-income earners at 25.5% of their income above a basic living threshold, while the surcharge would add 5%, 10%, and 12% taxes on income brackets above $1 million, $2 million, and $5 million respectively. Both provisions would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, and include inflation adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index.
This bill, known as the State Veterans Homes Inspection Simplification Act, would allow certain State Veterans Homes that are already certified by the Department of Veterans Affairs to be automatically considered compliant with Medicare and Medicaid nursing home standards. Under this proposal, facilities meeting specific VA inspection and certification requirements would not need to undergo separate reviews by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, reducing duplication of effort. The legislation maintains oversight by requiring the VA to submit its inspection standards for review every two years, allowing CMS to conduct targeted surveys or complaints investigations, and mandating public reporting of inspection data on the Nursing Home Care Compare website. A Government Accountability Office report would be required three years after enactment to evaluate the bill's impact on survey efficiency, enforcement outcomes, and resident care quality.
This resolution formally censures Representative Andrew Ogles for making Islamophobic and anti-immigrant remarks on social media and a podcast, including statements claiming "Muslims don’t belong in American society" and suggesting Muslims would "breed their way through our society." It requires Ogles to appear before the House for a public reprimand and removes him from the House Committee on Homeland Security. The resolution cites his repeated use of official accounts to spread rhetoric deemed "unfit for a Member of Congress," particularly concerning his role on a committee handling national security. The action addresses his conduct, not legislative policy, and follows House ethics standards for member behavior.
This bill, titled the Fund CISA Personnel Act of 2026, provides emergency funding to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to pay its employees during a federal government shutdown. It authorizes the agency to use Treasury funds to cover standard pay, benefits, and allowances for CISA staff when regular appropriations are not available, ensuring critical cybersecurity functions continue without interruption. The funding is temporary and will end when new appropriations are passed or by September 30, 2026, whichever comes first. The bill also includes provisions to prevent double payment to employees and ensures that costs incurred under this emergency funding are later charged to the appropriate permanent budget accounts.
