Democratic AGs skip White House anti-fraud roundtable after late invite

Democratic state attorneys generals declined Vice President JD Vance’s White House anti-fraud roundtable after receiving an invitation on Friday with no agenda, arguing the notice was too short for meaningful participation; Republicans largely attended, with several Democrats planning a separate press conference, chiefs of staff representing Democratic offices, and Vance stressing a nonpartisan focus on fighting fraud. The event followed the administration’s push on fraud prevention and enforcement across programs like Medicaid and small‑business loans.

Lawmakers race to pass bipartisan bills before the midterm sprint

With a Memorial Day recess and midterm campaigning looming, lawmakers from both parties are trying to push a package of bipartisan bills before the clock runs out—immigration enforcement, housing affordability, college athletics reforms (the SCORE Act), and energy-permitting changes—while also pursuing talks on cryptocurrency regulation, Great American Outdoors Act reauthorization, and other must-pass items like funding, the farm bill, and transportation. Despite a professed desire to work together, deep distrust persists, and President Trump’s recent push for a partisan election-security measure adds a complication to negotiations as Speaker Johnson faces conservative opposition.

House moves to fast-track amended housing bill with bipartisan deal

Senior House lawmakers reached a bipartisan deal to amend the Senate housing bill, preserving limits on Wall Street’s single-family home purchases while broadening who counts as a single-family home; the plan would pass next week under suspension of rules and go back to the Senate for final approval, before possible White House action. The amended text also keeps a five-year ban on a digital dollar, includes 12 community banking provisions, and drops a controversial seven-year divestiture for investor-built rentals, among other changes.

Johnson signals bipartisan path for FISA reauthorization amid GOP hurdles

House Speaker Mike Johnson floated a potential bipartisan route to extend Section 702 of the FISA, as lawmakers race to replace an emergency short-term reauthorization before it expires on April 30. A three-year extension with policy reforms is under discussion, with the House possibly advancing it via a faster procedure that requires a two-thirds vote. Hard-liner GOPs demand new guardrails and Democrats remain skeptical, with Johnson set to meet with Reps. Fitzpatrick and LaHood to build cross‑caucus support while Democrats say consensus remains elusive.

House pushes three-year TPS for Haitians amid bipartisan support

The House advanced a discharge petition to force a final vote on Rep. Lawler and Rep. Gillen’s bill to grant Haitians three years of Temporary Protected Status, with six Republicans joining Democrats in a 219-209 vote. If enacted, the measure would shield Haitian workers and communities as the Trump administration’s TPS termination faces legal challenges and potential Supreme Court review. Supporters framed it as immigrant justice and economic necessity; opponents warned that ending TPS could harm the labor force and economy.
