MAHA win: pesticide language stripped from farm bill

The House voted 280-142 to remove pesticide labeling language from the farm bill after Make America Healthy Again activists pressured lawmakers, a win for MAHA-aligned Republicans and Democrats who argued the protections shield pesticide makers from lawsuits; Rep. Anna Paulina Luna led the amendment, with six Democrats voting to keep it and 73 Republicans backing the MAHA position. Separately, the House passed the GOP-led farm bill 224-200 as leadership sought to decouple the E15 plan and push DHS funding and other measures ahead of an upcoming recess, though Senate prospects remain uncertain.

GOP Pushes Fast-Track DHS Funding as Johnson Weighs Tweaks

House Republicans aim to pass the Senate-passed DHS funding bill—funding most of the department but not immigration enforcement—in a bid to end a 76-day shutdown. Speaker Mike Johnson is weighing tweaks to remove explicit ICE/Border Patrol funding language or moving the bill on a fast-track floor vote, with a Thursday/ pre-recess deadline and pressure from the White House to act. The move comes amid ongoing farm-bill debates and other Capitol fights.

House OKs Budget-Neutral Farm Bill, E15 Move Prompts Senate Scrutiny

The House passed its GOP-led, budget-neutral farm bill 224-200, but the path forward in the Senate remains uncertain amid disagreements over climate-smart agriculture and nutrition funding. An attached plan to allow year-round E15 was decoupled from the bill for a standalone vote, and a MAHA-backed pesticide-labeling provision was stripped in a separate vote, signaling more negotiations before any final act.

Johnson’s House Wins Hit by Intra-GOP Chaos as Senate Looms

House Republicans logged wins under Speaker Mike Johnson by advancing a budget framework to restart DHS immigration enforcement funding and a three-year FISA reauthorization, but the path faces Senate resistance and internal GOP battles, especially over the Farm Bill’s ethanol provision (E15) and a side deal to decouple it from the bill. Senate timing and opposition, plus warnings from GOP leaders like Sen. Thune about delays and political messaging on cost of living, threaten to derail momentum as lawmakers head into a weeklong recess.

House clears path to reauthorize spy powers, farm bill, and immigration funding

House Republicans cleared a procedural path to vote on three priorities—extending Section 702 surveillance powers (FISA), updating the farm bill, and a budget blueprint to fund immigration enforcement—after hard-line resistance and last-minute amendments. The 216-210 rule approval signals floor consideration despite intra-GOP objections over guardrails on surveillance, E15 fuel language, and pesticide-labeling provisions, with Senate skepticism about linking a digital currency ban to FISA. A planned farm-bill vote was delayed for more negotiations, as leaders aim to reopen the Department of Homeland Security funding shuttered for months.

GOP revolt halts House agenda

A GOP revolt blocks a procedural rule to open debate on three major items—the FISA Section 702 extension, the farm bill (including E15 ethanol provisions), and the Senate-passed budget reconciliation package for ICE and CBP funding—leaving the House unable to move any of them. Hardline objections to FISA (warrant requirements) and tensions over farm-bill provisions have united holdouts, while the White House and Senate push back on concessions, suggesting a government shutdown risk if funding isn’t resolved. Leadership plans to keep the rule vote open to flip holdouts, a tactic that underscores ongoing intra-GOP tensions and procedural brinkmanship.

Johnson’s Week Tests House Unity as Three GOP Priorities Stall

Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to move three GOP priorities—the three-year FISA extension, the farm bill with E15 language, and a narrow budget resolution for immigration enforcement funding—but internal House divisions and Senate hesitancy jeopardize passage, with some Republicans urging Trump to step in; a Wednesday procedural vote on the rules will be the moment to advance anything, though support remains uncertain.

GOP split looms as three priority bills edge toward floor votes during King's Capitol visit

House Republicans are negotiating to move three priority items—the three-year extension of the Section 702 spy law, the farm bill with pesticide labeling provisions, and a budget resolution—toward floor votes, but internal hard-liner opposition and ongoing negotiations threaten to delay action even as King Charles III visits the Capitol.

GOP Divisions Put Farm-Bill Pesticide Rule in Spotlight

House Republicans are poised to vote on pesticide labeling language within the farm bill after a revolt from MAGA-aligned Republicans and Make America Healthy Again activists. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has threatened to derail the bill if the pesticide provision—seen as a liability shield for manufacturers—is not stripped. A draft House Rules rule to advance the farm bill circulated, but it still must clear committees and win floor votes, underscoring intra-GOP tensions alongside other items like the Section 702 FISA extension, budget priorities, and ethanol policy.

Internal GOP strife forced the cancellation of a House Rules meeting as leaders press to move a package including a three-year Section 702 surveillance extension, immigration-enforcement funding, and a farm bill, but at least 10 Republicans oppose the rule over surveillance scope and other amendments, jeopardizing the votes and signaling ongoing division within the party while the Senate prepares to advance the 702 extension.

Speaker Mike Johnson faces a grueling week as he tries to push three high-stakes bills—an extension of Section 702 surveillance authority, immigration funding for DHS, and a farm bill—through a fractious GOP, while contending with intraparty rebellions, fallout from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, and external events like King Charles III’s visit that could derail deadlines.
