Summary: The House opened with the Speaker appointing Mike Boss as Speaker pro tempore, followed by prayer, approval of the previous day’s journal, and the Pledge of Allegiance. The chamber then moved to one-minute speeches on a range of topics, including concern over violence against Christians in Nigeria and support for H.Res. 1321, a tribute to Lt. Col. Rosemary Guerrero’s National Guard career, praise for Ohio’s business climate, remembrance of U.S. service members killed in Iran-related fighting, recognition of a 100th birthday for Arizona veteran Conrad Beetto Viegas, honors for New Jersey lacrosse player Matt Trevenon, and a memorial tribute to Eugene Williams. The House then took up H.R. 8884, the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act, under a rule providing one hour of debate. Supporters said the bill would restore Social Security Administration authority to run demonstration projects aimed at helping people with disabilities return to work, arguing that many beneficiaries want to work but face benefit cliffs and confusing rules. They also said the measure would help disabled veterans and other beneficiaries keep more income if they choose to work. Opponents, led by the Democratic manager, argued the bill gives the administration too much discretion over disability benefits, could threaten earned benefits, and would divert SSA operating funds from customer service at a time of staffing cuts and long backlogs. They noted a proposed amendment with additional guardrails was rejected in committee. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Austin Scott, described the measure as a voluntary way to remove work disincentives, drawing on a conversation with a combat-wounded Marine who wanted to work more hours without losing all benefits. Debate continued with both sides restating their positions, but the transcript ends before any final vote or disposition on H.R. 8884 is shown.

Summary: The House opened with the appointment of Rep. Jeff Hurd as Speaker pro tempore, a prayer, approval of the prior day’s journal, and the Pledge of Allegiance. Members then used a series of one-minute speeches to recognize local people and organizations, including the Morgan County Boys and Girls Club’s 20th anniversary, the Hudson Independent newspaper, Jerry and Rebecca Zamodian, Dr. Patricia Patty Lopez, Sight and Sound Theaters’ 50th anniversary, and Bill Horn. Several members also spoke about policy concerns, including opposition to California’s gas-car ban, criticism of federal water drilling in New Mexico, and remarks on the tragic deaths of Utah’s Spencer Long family in a flash flood. The House then received a formal communication from Rep. Sarah Jacobs regarding a subpoena for documents from the San Diego Superior Court, stating that compliance would not be consistent with House privileges and rights. The chamber subsequently resolved into the Committee of the Whole for further consideration of H.R. 8800, the fiscal 2027 defense authorization bill. During consideration of H.R. 8800, the House took up amendment No. 28 by Rep. Self of Texas, which would attach the Military Chaplain’s Modernization Act of 2026 to the NDAA. Supporters said it would protect chaplains’ religious liberty, clarify their duties, and provide accountability against retaliation; opponents argued it would weaken the long-standing role of chaplains in serving all service members and could punish commanders for expecting that duty. The chair initially announced the amendment agreed to, but a recorded vote was requested and further proceedings were postponed. The House then moved to amendment No. 30 by Rep. Isa of California, which he said would help small innovative defense companies get funding more quickly; the transcript cuts off as debate on that amendment began.

Summary: The House met for morning hour debate, with the Speaker pro tempore appointed and members reminded to keep debate within the allotted time and avoid personal attacks on the President. No legislation was considered or voted on; the session consisted of one-minute and five-minute floor speeches and recognitions. Members used their remarks to address a range of topics. Rep. Latimer criticized the cost of the war in Iran and urged congressional oversight, while also condemning President Trump’s efforts to promote a namesake arch in Washington, DC. Other members marked Disability Pride Month and the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, with Rep. Hoyer defending the ADA’s original integration mandate and objecting to recent Justice Department guidance and Trump administration actions he said would weaken disability rights and voting access. Several speeches honored local people and institutions, including John and Eileene McCort, the Bell Center’s 50th anniversary, former Mayor Dolly Pettis, retired Air Force Maj. Homer Gagos, the Faludias Volunteer Fire Department’s 100 years of service, veteran Robert Bentley, coach Chris Vite’s 500th win, and Dr. John Seidensticker’s retirement. Rep.

Summary: The House opened with the Speaker appointing Virginia Foxx as Speaker pro tempore and then moved into morning-hour debate. Several members used the time to honor constituents and community figures, including service-academy appointees from Texas, the lives of Doug Graham and Satguru Dandani in Northern Virginia, Larry Stone’s retirement in Santa Clara County, Arthur Herbert Houseman’s wartime and national-security service, Guam’s 82nd liberation anniversary, and the Moore family’s work to prevent child sexual abuse. Members also spoke on broader issues, including opposition to data center expansion and transmission lines in Virginia, concerns about censorship and surveillance abroad and at home, and the 81st anniversary of Hiroshima and the need for arms control. The House later recessed briefly, approved the journal, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Additional one-minute speeches honored wildfire aviator Nicholas Dale, commemorated Hiroshima, and recognized Steve and Julia Moore for their support of the Moore Center at Johns Hopkins. The chamber then resumed suspended proceedings on H.R. 1703, the Choices for Increased Mobility Act, which would clarify Medicare Part B payment rules for manual wheelchairs and allow beneficiaries to upgrade to titanium or carbon-fiber wheelchairs at their own expense. Supporters said the bill would restore patient choice, create new wheelchair codes, and remove barriers to lightweight mobility options without added cost to CMS. The minority speaker said he supported the measure but warned it would mainly benefit higher-income seniors who can afford out-of-pocket upgrades, raising concerns about Medicare’s universality. No final vote on H.R. 1703 was shown in the transcript excerpt.

Summary: The House opened with a prayer from guest chaplain Reverend John Thomas of the Diocese of Camden, followed by approval of the previous day’s journal and the Pledge of Allegiance. Members then used a series of one-minute speeches to recognize local figures and organizations, including the Rowan County Rescue Squad’s 75th anniversary, a long-time Ohio McDonald’s employee’s retirement, and concerns about FDA actions on flavored e-cigarettes and youth nicotine use. One member also criticized recent legislation as harmful to SNAP and Medicare beneficiaries, while another praised the chaplain’s call for unity. The chamber then took up H.R. 9237, the Take Care of Americans Veterans Act, under a structured rule. The bill was described by supporters as a broad veterans package with more than 60 bipartisan provisions to improve VA health care, benefits, claims processing, education and training, community care, suicide prevention, and VA administration. Supporters highlighted provisions such as ending the offset for some combat-injured veterans under the Major Richard Star Act, expanding surviving spouse benefits, increasing compensation for catastrophically disabled veterans, and modernizing disability ratings for conditions such as sleep apnea and tinnitus based on VA medical review. Chairman Bost argued the bill would use anticipated savings from those rating changes to fund expanded benefits and said many veterans groups supported the measure. Opponents, led by Ranking Member Takano, argued the bill would cut veterans’ disability benefits to pay for other priorities and would improperly have Congress override VA medical expertise. They said the measure would create tiers of veterans, accelerate privatization, weaken VA workforce protections, and divert resources from VA care, while noting opposition from numerous veterans service organizations, labor unions, and professional groups. Supporters countered that the rating changes were already being developed by VA physicians and would not automatically reduce current benefits. The debate continued with no final vote or disposition shown in the transcript excerpt.

Summary: The House opened with prayer, approval of the previous day’s Journal, and the Pledge of Allegiance. Members then used one-minute speeches to recognize Indiana FFA officers, honor the late Maxine Peacock Holly of North Carolina for her public service, and criticize a California health care tax increase and urge federal officials to block it. The chamber then considered several suspension bills naming Department of Veterans Affairs facilities after veterans and advocates. H.R. 6007 would name the Newton, New Jersey VA clinic for Anthony Tony J. Galapo, a Navy veteran and veterans’ advocate who helped establish the clinic; H.R. 5362 would name the Marietta, Georgia VA multi-specialty clinic for Colonel Michael H. Boyce, a Marine Corps veteran and Cobb County leader who helped establish a VA clinic; and H.R. 6963 would name the Lafayette, Louisiana VA clinic for Rodney C. Hamilton Sr., a Marine and Korean War Purple Heart recipient who founded a veterans coalition and helped bring the clinic to Lafayette. Supporters from both parties emphasized each honoree’s military service, local advocacy, and role in expanding veterans’ access to care. Each of those bills was passed under suspension of the rules by voice vote, with the Chair announcing that two-thirds were in the affirmative and that the motion to reconsider was laid on the table. During consideration of H.R. 5362, a quorum point of order was raised and further proceedings were postponed. The House also received a Senate message transmitting S. 2120, the Older Americans Act reauthorization measure, and then began consideration of H.R. 4647, which would rename the West Haven, Connecticut VA Medical Center for Captain Paul W. Bucha, a Medal of Honor recipient and veterans’ advocate.

Summary: The House opened with the Speaker appointing Michael Guest as Speaker pro tempore for the day and then proceeding under morning-hour debate rules. Members were recognized in alternating order between the parties, with most speakers limited to five minutes and debate set to end by 11:50 a.m. The first portion of debate featured a sharp partisan exchange over immigration and socialism. Mr. McClintock criticized remarks by Zohran Mamdani, arguing they reflected anti-American rhetoric, opposition to assimilation, and support for socialism, which he said would undermine freedom, border security, and prosperity. Mr. Vasquez and Mr. Gomez responded with strong criticism of ICE and the Trump administration, focusing on the death of Lorenzo Salgado in Houston and alleging a lack of accountability, body-camera footage, and due process in immigration enforcement. Gomez said he had introduced legislation to redirect ICE funding toward housing and called for accountability for abuses. The remainder of the hour consisted largely of commemorative and district-focused remarks. Members honored local leaders, educators, and community figures including Pearl Compton, Beatress B. Lumpkin, Antonio Tony Ortiz, Clara Martin, Fred Gretch, Sheriff John Wiltshire, and Sheriff Robert Roder. Several members also highlighted policy issues and local priorities, including support for Ukraine, affordable housing proposals, blood donation shortages, the 70th anniversary of the Federal Aid Highway Act, the 250th National Independence Day celebration, and the newly enacted 21st Century Road to Housing Act. No votes or formal legislative actions were taken during the debate period.

Summary: The House opened with the Speaker appointing David J. Taylor as Speaker pro tempore and then proceeded to morning-hour debate, during which members used their time to honor local figures and community institutions. Several Pennsylvania members recognized the life of Don Deweiler, the Williamsburg and Smithfield volunteer fire departments for 100 years of service, and the Bermudian Springs and Greencastle-Antrim high school baseball teams for state championships. Other members paid tribute to staff retirements and service, including Mlan Piner in a North Carolina office and Jamie Robinette, a longtime House staffer retiring after 25 years. The House then moved to one-minute speeches, including memorial remarks for Louisiana State Senator Larry C. Selders and Air Force Major Alexander Davis, and a recognition of Agatushi’s Restaurant in Peoria, Illinois, on its 100th anniversary. The chamber also approved the previous day’s journal, heard the Pledge of Allegiance, and later recessed subject to the call of the Chair. When the House resumed, it postponed further proceedings on motions to suspend the rules, then took up H.R. 6332, which would designate the USPS facility at 10660 Page Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia, as the Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building. Supporters from Texas and Virginia described Connolly’s long public career in local government, Congress, and postal reform, emphasizing his work on oversight, federal workers, and the postal service. No vote on the bill is shown in the transcript excerpt, but debate concluded with both sides yielding back in support of the measure.
