House Democrats Move to Curb Trump-Era Iran War Powers

House Democrats plan to use unanimous consent to pass a resolution that would permanently curb U.S. war powers over Iran, a move Republicans are expected to block; the push comes amid a fragile two-week ceasefire in the region, ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon, and reports of Iran halting Hormuz traffic. Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the ceasefire woefully insufficient, while Republicans remain hesitant to break ranks. The Senate is set to vote next week, and the House is in recess until April 14.

DHS funding showdown: Senate deal meets House resistance

The Senate-passed DHS funding bill (excluding ICE and parts of CBP) faces House roadblocks, with Schumer saying a 60-day DHS funding plan would be dead on arrival in the Senate, and Johnson floated a clean 60-day continuing resolution to fund all of DHS. House Democrats express broad support for the Senate deal to end airport chaos, while the House Freedom Caucus demands adding immigration-enforcement funding and a voter-ID provision, complicating quick passage. Procedural hurdles and TSA pay delays add to the urgency as negotiations continue and lawmakers consider timing for votes.

Democrats stall Iran war-powers vote amid attendance gaps and uncertain GOP support

House Democrats chose not to force a vote this week to block President Trump’s unilateral Iran actions, citing not only insufficient votes but also attendance gaps that could doom the measure. Leadership aims to shore up more GOP backing before risking a defeat, while some progressives express frustration that action is delayed. An earlier attempt failed 212-219 with four Democrats voting against it; several lawmakers remain undecided or absent, highlighting ongoing intra-party tensions over how aggressively to challenge executive military action.

House Democrats push for a new Iran war-powers vote amid tightening unity

House Democrats have unified behind a new Iran war-powers resolution to constrain President Trump’s ability to wage war, with several previously dissenting members expected to switch to support. With a 217–214 House majority, leadership worries a single GOP defection could derail the measure, though attendance remains a factor. The vote is not expected this week due to a two-week recess and is anticipated after the House reconvenes on April 14.

House Readies Third DHS Funding Push as Shutdown Extends

The House plans a third floor vote next week on a stalled Homeland Security funding bill to pressure Democrats amid a five‑week shutdown, while the Senate again rejects DHS funding, risking a prolonged stalemate. Republicans seek immigration‑enforcement concessions and narrower agency funding amid White House talks, with TSA funding and DHS workers’ pay in focus; the broader agenda includes a delayed FISA extension, a White House AI-regulation blueprint, and crypto regulation talks gaining momentum.

702 renewal at knife-edge as House hard-liners demand concessions

Speaker Mike Johnson plans an 18‑month, clean extension of Section 702 surveillance next week, but hard‑liners like Boebert and Luna demand warrants/add‑ons; Democrats are split and several Republicans oppose a straight renewal, setting up a high‑stakes vote and possible back‑up plan to avert an April 20 lapse as Trump pushes for renewal with briefings from CIA and FBI directors.

Capitol Rift Deepens Over Housing Bill Ahead of Midterms

The Senate is poised to pass a bipartisan housing affordability package, but the House GOP is stalemated, with Freedom Caucus members opposing the Senate version and urging a version closer to the House’s own. Speaker Mike Johnson signals potential conference negotiations to bridge the gap as midterms approach. Separately, Republicans are debating a second megabill and a reconciliation package, with Sen. Joni Ernst pushing for billions in savings, indicating continued intraparty jockeying as the GOP seeks policy wins under a fragile majority, with White House pressure seen as likely to help resolve differences.

GOP charts a shaky 2026 path as Trump shapes agenda at Doral retreat

House Republicans head to their annual policy retreat in Florida amid a fragile, ultra-narrow majority, a softening economy, and a Middle East–driven energy-price surge. They aim to map a post-midterms agenda, including a potential new budget reconciliation bill, while balancing internal strains from renegade members and Trump’s mounting policy pushes (notably the SAVE America Act). With ongoing DHS funding uncertainties and pressure to expand conservative priorities, the gathering will test GOP unity as leadership, committee chairs, and House members jockey to set priorities for 2026 amid Senate skepticism and ongoing political headwinds.
