Summary
The House races to pass major legislation this week, including historic battlefield protections, Alaskan ivory trade oversight, and a seven-year marine conservation boost for Washington’s waters. They also enforce child care compliance with federal funds and pass a resolution ending U.S. combat against Iran without explicit congressional approval. In the Senate, two judges get confirmed amid debate, while several amendments to the Secure America Act are rejected—including a White House ballroom and voter ID proposals. The Senate ultimately passes an amended version of the Act, pouring billions into border security, sparking arguments over whether it’s necessary or overly aggressive.
