H.Res. 825 is a congressional inquiry requesting the President to provide documents and communications related to how federal agencies conveyed messages about a government funding lapse to employees and the public in October 2025. The resolution seeks all records—including emails, meeting notes, and phone records—connected to directives from the Office of Management and Budget, as well as specific messages posted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Department of Education during the shutdown. The resolution also requests communications between executive offices and the Office of Special Counsel regarding whether these agency messages violated federal laws prohibiting partisan political activity by federal employees or misuse of appropriated funds. The President is requested to provide all requested documents within 14 days of the resolution's adoption. The resolution was introduced by a bipartisan group of House members and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
