Johnson halts votes, eyes AI regulation push before the midterms

House Speaker Mike Johnson canceled Thursday votes and sent lawmakers home early ahead of the midterm recess, delaying Thomas Massie’s impeachment resolution of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as lawmakers pursue AI-regulation legislation. Democrats criticized the move while pressuring for urgent AI safeguards; Johnson argues there should be no AI moratorium and says votes were simply moved up. EPA votes were shifted to Wednesday, and Massie’s impeachment resolution remains a priority for when Congress returns after the election.

Democrats push bold agenda as party unity is tested

Democrats are pressing a broad set of priorities—repealing Medicaid cuts, restoring ACA tax credits, reversing tariffs, and ending the Iran war—while creating working groups on housing, healthcare, childcare, groceries, and utilities. The party’s unity is strained after two Democrats (Rep. Jared Golden and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez) voted with Republicans on a procedural rule, threatening the agenda’s passage. Speaker Hakeem Jeffries seeks to hold a diverse caucus together amid calls for accountability and ongoing corruption probes, underscoring how internal divisions could complicate a bid to counter Trump with a united, strategic push.

Gomez Ethics Probe Spurs Housewide Reform Debate

The House Ethics Committee opened an inquiry into Rep. Jimmy Gomez over allegedly inappropriate sexual contact with a House staffer, highlighting a push to broaden prohibitions and overhaul how misconduct is reported. Gomez acknowledged past personal indiscretions but said he did not violate rules or the law, while lawmakers pursue a bipartisan reform package that would bar relationships with all congressional staff and create a streamlined reporting process—though passage may face Senate hurdles and enforcement debates.

Primaries in five states could tilt control of Congress

Five states—Michigan, Missouri, Washington, Kansas and Virginia—hold primaries Tuesday that could reshape Congress: Michigan’s marquee Democratic Senate race pairs establishment-backed Haley Stevens against progressive Abdul El-Sayed, with governor and several House races also on the ballot; Missouri features a high-profile rematch in the 1st District between Wesley Bell and Cori Bush plus ballot measures and other contests after redistricting; Kansas voters see a crowded governor race, a Senate contest for Roger Marshall, and a measure to allow direct election of state Supreme Court justices; Washington holds a top-two primary amid Spokane wildfires, with the 3rd District central to the fall; Virginia’s primaries include a likely Luria–Kiggans rematch in the 2nd District and other competitive House races that could affect the chamber’s balance in November.

House votes to curb Iran war as Senate blocks parallel bid

The House passed a 214-208 war-powers resolution to halt U.S. military action in Iran, with four Republicans crossing party lines; the Senate blocked a parallel measure 49-47, with Sen. Susan Collins as the lone Republican ally. The votes underscore a partisan fight over Congress’s authority as the conflict continues and costs rise, with Democrats planning to keep pressing similar votes and to use funding leverage, while the White House opposes such resolutions and argues Trump’s actions require no congressional authorization.

GOP splits stall Trump-backed election overhaul on mail voting

House conservatives lack the votes to move the narrower SAVE America Act Trump is pushing, and Senate Republicans show deep divisions over the broader package that would crack down on mail voting. While some GOP members warn that sweeping restrictions could hurt races in states that rely on mail ballots, others push for tighter safeguards, leaving the bill effectively DOA in Congress amid intra-party rifts and presidential pressure.

GOP revolt halts House floor, stalling Johnson’s election bill and the Pentagon policy

A small group of House Republicans blocked a procedural rule amid grievances with party leaders and the Senate’s handling of a GOP elections bill, effectively freezing floor action and delaying the annual defense-policy bill and related spending as the July 4 recess approaches; Majority Leader Scalise moved to reconsider, but with absences and divisions, Johnson cannot advance the Pentagon bill until GOP disputes are resolved, while Trump has pressed to attach the SAVE America Act to the package.
