Transportation and Public Works
Introduced
This resolution honors Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) and other TSA employees for continuing to work without pay during federal government shutdowns. The resolution specifically references the longest partial shutdown in U.S. history, which lasted from February through April 2026, and an earlier 43-day shutdown in late 2025. The resolution states that TSOs, who screen passengers and protect airports, were forced to work without compensation and many faced severe financial hardship, forcing some to miss work to take second jobs or leave the workforce entirely. The resolution does not provide funding or create new policy, but instead expresses the House's recognition of TSOs' sacrifices and commitment to ending the practice of withholding employee pay during shutdowns. This is a symbolic measure intended to acknowledge TSA employees' contributions to national security.

H.R. 9579, the Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Authorization Act, strengthens DHS's civil rights oversight by establishing and empowering an Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties who reports directly to the Secretary. The Officer will have broad authority to investigate complaints of abuse or profiling, review department policies for civil rights impacts, and make recommendations to leadership, with all DHS components required to provide necessary resources and support. The bill mandates that each major DHS operational component maintain dedicated civil rights officers and ensure the Office can effectively perform its duties. Beginning June 30 of the year following enactment, the Office must submit annual reports to Congress detailing civil rights assessments, community outreach efforts, diversity and employment activities, and staffing levels. The Government Accountability Office must also review the Office's implementation within two years of the bill's enactment to assess compliance and effectiveness.

H.Res. 1405 is a House resolution expressing congressional support for celebrating June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month. Introduced in June 2026 with bipartisan co-sponsors, the resolution documents major milestones in LGBTQ+ American history, including the Stonewall uprising in 1969, marriage equality in 2015, and recent achievements like the election of the first openly gay governor and the first transgender member of Congress. The resolution acknowledges that LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face significant discrimination and violence, noting over 529 pending anti-LGBTQ+ bills in state legislatures and recent tragic incidents within the community. Rather than creating binding legal requirements, this resolution expresses the sense of Congress that LGBTQ+ rights are fundamental human rights protected by the Constitution and calls for continued commitment to equality and understanding of LGBTQ+ history as part of American history.

Congress
Introduced
This resolution condemns statements made by Texas congressional candidate Maureen Galindo on social media in May 2026, in which she proposed imprisoning Americans based on their political ideology and subjecting them to physical harm. The House of Representatives finds that her comments, which specifically targeted people associated with Zionism, advocate for using detention facilities as tools of political persecution and evoke historical atrocities like the Holocaust. The resolution emphasizes that while the First Amendment protects free speech, it does not shield hateful speech from public condemnation, and that imprisoning people based on their beliefs or associations contradicts constitutional principles of liberty and justice. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct fiscal impact or implementation timeline, as it serves solely to formally express the House's disapproval of the candidate's statements rather than enact binding policy or legislation.

Introduced
This bill would increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court from nine to thirteen by amending federal law to change the number of associate justices from eight to twelve and adjusting related provisions accordingly. The legislation was introduced by Representative Green of Texas in May 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The bill would affect the Supreme Court's composition and operations, as well as potentially impact the balance of judicial power in the federal court system. No specific funding or implementation timeline is specified in the bill text provided. This represents a significant constitutional change that would require passage in both the House and Senate before becoming law.

This joint resolution would block the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from withdrawing its whistleblower protection rule for financial services employees. The rule in question, known as Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-04, provides protections for employees who report violations of consumer financial protection laws. By using the congressional disapproval process, this resolution would prevent the CFPB from eliminating these whistleblower safeguards, effectively keeping the protections in place. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, the CFPB's withdrawal of the rule would be nullified and have no legal effect. The resolution affects financial services companies and their employees who would otherwise lose these federal whistleblower protections.

This resolution commends Pakistan for serving as a mediator in peace negotiations between the United States, Israel, and Iran during an ongoing conflict. According to the resolution, the conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths, displaced 3.2 million people, killed at least 13 U.S. service members with over 399 wounded, and cost the United States approximately $1 billion per day. The resolution notes that Pakistan has positioned itself as a neutral third party acceptable to all sides and has made diplomatic sacrifices, including implementing citywide shutdowns to accommodate peace delegations. The resolution expresses concern that further escalation, including potential U.S. ground deployment in Iran, could increase domestic divisions and calls on Congress to formally recognize Pakistan's essential role in facilitating constructive dialogue toward a lasting peace agreement. This is a symbolic measure with no funding or implementation timeline, as resolutions express the sense of Congress rather than creating law or appropriating funds.

This resolution condemns President Donald Trump for posting an artificial intelligence-generated image on social media on April 12, 2026, that depicted him as Jesus Christ with religious symbolism including healing gestures, divine light, and worshipful figures. The resolution argues that the post disrespects Christianity, trivializes sacred religious imagery, and undermines the dignity of the presidency by using religion for self-promotion and personal glorification. The resolution calls on President Trump to publicly acknowledge that the image was disrespectful and offensive to people of faith. This is a symbolic congressional condemnation with no legal consequences or funding involved, introduced by Representative Al Green of Texas and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

This bill would increase the annual pay for Transportation Security Administration career employees by 15 percent, effective during the first pay period following the bill's enactment. The raise applies to all career TSA agents and officers except for senior executives and high-level appointees.

This bill authorizes a pilot program within the Federal Housing Administration to test a new automated process for evaluating creditworthiness using additional credit information beyond traditional credit scores. The program would be voluntary, allowing prospective homebuyers and current borrowers to opt in and be evaluated using alternative credit scoring models that incorporate additional data sources, which could help people with little or no credit history access FHA-insured mortgages. The bill excludes borrowers using the program to refinance or pay off existing loans on the same property. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development must select approved credit scoring models within one year and establish clear notification procedures so borrowers understand their options and can compare lending terms. The bill requires detailed reporting to Congress on the program's effectiveness, including data on participation rates, approval outcomes, demographic information, default rates, and impacts on the FHA insurance fund, with reports due at 2.5 years and 5 years after the program begins. The legislation authorizes $3 million for fiscal year 2023 to establish the pilot and $1.5 million annually for fiscal years 2024 through 2027 to operate it.

H.R. 8291, the Reforming Disaster Recovery Act, establishes a Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund to provide federal grants for housing, infrastructure, and community recovery following major disasters, with funding available through congressional appropriations and unused disaster-related transfers. The bill creates a dedicated Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Disaster Recovery Program that expands eligibility to states, local governments, tribes, and nonentitlement areas, requiring the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to develop a funding formula within 30 days based on damage concentration and unmet needs across housing, infrastructure, and economic revitalization. At least 70 percent of grant funds must benefit low and moderate-income residents, with up to 30 percent reserved for disaster mitigation activities, while grantees must submit recovery plans within 90 days and complete spending within 6 years (with possible extensions to 10 years for mitigation activities). The bill includes strict requirements for fraud prevention, public reporting on fund allocation disaggregated by income and geography, and coordination among federal agencies including HUD, FEMA, and the Small Business Administration to prevent duplicate benefits and ensure comprehensive disaster relief. Administrative costs are capped at 10 percent of grants, with an additional 20 percent allowed for technical assistance and planning combined.

This bill reauthorizes and expands a Federal Housing Administration pilot program that allows borrowers to opt into using alternative credit scoring models that incorporate additional credit information beyond traditional credit scores. The program is designed to help borrowers with limited credit histories or "thin credit files" demonstrate their creditworthiness for FHA-insured mortgages. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development must select one or more commercially available credit scoring models within one year and establish a process to notify prospective borrowers of their option to participate, while also providing comparisons of lending terms under both the pilot model and standard FHA models. The legislation requires detailed reporting to Congress on program effectiveness, including data on borrower participation rates, approval rates, demographic information, and whether the program affects loan default rates and the FHA's insurance fund. The bill authorizes $3 million for fiscal year 2023 and $1.5 million annually for fiscal years 2024 through 2027 to establish and operate the pilot program, with an initial five-year evaluation period.

This resolution condemns Representative Andy Ogles of Tennessee for posting inflammatory comments on social media on March 9, 2026, in which he stated that "Muslims don't belong in American society" and claimed that "Pluralism is a lie." The resolution, introduced by Representative Al Green of Texas, argues that these statements are hateful and Islamophobic, and it emphasizes that Islam teaches values of peace, equality, and tolerance while noting that the United States was founded as a pluralist nation with constitutional protections for religious freedom. The resolution contains no funding or enforcement mechanisms; it is a formal statement of disapproval from the House of Representatives that was referred to the Committee on Ethics. This type of resolution serves as an official congressional rebuke but does not impose penalties or require any specific action beyond the expression of the House's position.

This bill amends the Defense Production Act of 1950 to require the Defense Production Act Committee to conduct tabletop exercises at least once every five years. These discussion-based simulations would help the committee evaluate what resources and authorities would be needed during potential national emergencies or crises requiring industrial mobilization. The bill affects the committee responsible for coordinating the government's ability to direct industrial production for national defense purposes. No specific funding is authorized in the legislation, and the simulations must begin within five years of the bill's enactment. The bill also includes a minor technical correction to the original Defense Production Act's title formatting.

H.Res. 1080 is a symbolic resolution that honors and celebrates Black History Month 2026, with the theme "A Century of Black History Commemorations." The resolution recognizes the historical contributions of African Americans who have been underrepresented in official historical narratives, designating them as "unsung souls," while honoring allies who fought for racial justice as "righteous intercessors." It highlights specific historical figures and events, including Claudette Colvin's role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Carter G. Woodson's creation of Negro History Week (the precursor to Black History Month), and various national monuments and institutions dedicated to African American history. The resolution emphasizes that Black history commemorations are essential to counter attempts to minimize or erase African American contributions from American history and encourages continued celebration throughout the nation. As a resolution rather than legislation, it carries no funding or legal requirements, but instead expresses the House's support for recognizing Black history and its impact on American society.

H.Res. 970 is a congressional resolution urging the United States government to increase its involvement in achieving peace in Sudan. The resolution highlights the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan since April 2023, where over 40,000 people have been killed, 12 million displaced, and 47 million face acute hunger due to an ongoing civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. The resolution calls on the U.S. government to hold accountable countries in a "Quad agreement" (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) that have committed to ending military support to warring parties in Sudan, with specific concern about the UAE's provision of Chinese-manufactured weapons fueling the conflict. The resolution does not appropriate any funds or establish a specific timeline but directs U.S. government branches to enforce existing sanctions authority under Executive Order 14098 against foreign actors destabilizing Sudan. This resolution affects U.S. foreign policy toward Sudan and U.S. relationships with regional partners involved in the conflict.

It specifically highlights her leadership of the Combahee River Raid, which led to the liberation of 700 enslaved people in South Carolina, as well as her post-war advocacy for human rights and women's suffrage.

The legislation applies broadly to rental housing receiving federal assistance through numerous programs, including public housing, Section 8 rental assistance, low-income housing tax credits, veterans' housing programs, homeless assistance programs, and rural housing programs. The bill aims to improve accountability and protect tenants living in federally funded housing by ensuring that condemned conditions are reported and that property owners face financial consequences for maintaining uninhabitable units.

This resolution designates October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and expresses support for efforts to combat domestic violence in the United States. The resolution does not authorize any funding or create new programs; instead, it serves as a symbolic statement of Congress's commitment to raising awareness about domestic violence and its widespread impact. According to the resolution, approximately 24 people per minute experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in the U.S., with women disproportionately affected—about 1 in 2 women will experience intimate partner violence or stalking during their lifetimes. The resolution documents the particular vulnerability of various populations, including transgender individuals, LGBTQ+ individuals, and women of color, while also highlighting the broader societal costs, including lost work productivity exceeding $12 billion annually and unmet service requests at domestic violence shelters. The resolution calls on Congress to continue supporting and increasing funding for programs designed to prevent and intervene in domestic violence.

This joint resolution designates August 20th as "Slavery Remembrance Day," an annual observance to commemorate enslaved people and remind Americans of slavery's evils and lasting impacts. The bill specifically marks August 20, 1619, the date when the first enslaved Africans arrived at Point Comfort in Virginia. The resolution provides extensive historical documentation of slavery's horrors—including the Middle Passage, family separations, and brutal working conditions—as well as stories of resistance by figures like Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner, and it recognizes African American members of Congress who served during Reconstruction. The resolution contains no fiscal appropriations or specific funding mechanisms; it requests that the President issue a proclamation encouraging Americans to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. There are no implementation timelines specified beyond designating the annual observance.
