House Rejects Tlaib's Lebanon War Powers Bid in Bipartisan Vote

The House defeated Rashida Tlaib's Lebanon war powers resolution 189-235, with 22 Democrats siding with Republicans. The symbolic measure would bar U.S. forces from hostilities in Lebanon, even though the U.S. is not at war there. Rep. Massie and Rep. Boebert were among the few Republicans who supported it; Democrats argued the move would complicate policy during a volatile region while the U.S. remains cautious about escalation surrounding Israel-Hezbollah dynamics.

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.

House Narrowly Rejects Bid to End Trump’s Iran War

The House voted 213-214, largely along party lines, to reject a measure directing President Trump to end U.S. hostilities with Iran. Only Rep. Thomas Massie voted for the measure, while Rep. Jared Golden voted against it and Rep. Warren Davidson voted present. The proposal, tied to the War Powers Resolution, would require withdrawal from hostilities unless Congress explicitly authorizes it. The outcome keeps Trump’s Iran campaign in place; the Senate had previously rejected a similar measure, and public polling shows broad disapproval of the war.

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.

House backs tighter aviation safety rules after deadly midair crash

The House approved the ALERT Act 396-10 to require ADS-B In and other collision-avoidance tech for most aircraft, including military planes, by 2031, and to extend safety measures to helicopter routes and air-traffic-control training, in response to the January 2025 midair collision near Reagan National Airport. The bill, the House version contrasted with the Senate’s ROTOR Act, addresses some NTSB recommendations but victims’ families say it does not fully address all issues and budget/defense concerns raised by the Pentagon and lawmakers.

GOP quietly signals plan to tweak aviation-safety bill by defeating ROTOR Act on the floor

House GOP leaders privately told members they could let the Senate-passed ROTOR Act fail on the floor to address its flaws, with Johnson acknowledging issues raised by the Pentagon and others. House Republicans aligned with Graves and Rogers are pushing their own ALERT Act, and if ROTOR fails, they plan to move a House markup next week to incorporate House input, setting up a high-stakes House–Senate clash over aviation-safety provisions such as ADS-B In and funding. The vote ultimately went down under a two-thirds-necessary fast-track rule, leaving the legislation’s fate uncertain as negotiations continue.

A group of House Republican moderates joined Democrats to push for a vote on a three-year extension of Obamacare tax credits, bypassing GOP leadership, though the bill is unlikely to pass in the Senate. The effort highlights internal divisions over healthcare policy and the ongoing debate about extending subsidies for millions of Americans.
