In September 2025 Obernolte switched his vote on a rule blocking tariff votes after Speaker Johnson promised the block would end January 31, 2026. In February 2026 leadership moved to extend it to July 31. Obernolte voted for that too.
Comer chairs the committee investigating the Epstein files. He agreed to an unsworn, un-videotaped interview for Pam Bondi, has not held a single hearing on Epstein, and says he will not call JD Vance or Susie Wiles.
Kustoff's H.R. 5242 repeals two laws the D.C. Council passed — one letting people who were under 25 when they committed their crime ask a judge for a second look, one letting old records be sealed. It was introduced and marked up the same day. Then his colleagues bolted on a repeal of D.C.'s speed cameras.
One month into Trump's Memphis Safe Task Force, Kustoff called it a blueprint for the whole country and said he'd work to make the federal presence permanent. Ten months in, NPR found what it actually became: a traffic-stop immigration dragnet that emptied schools and doctors' offices in the city he lives beside.
'We need to wind down the conflict, I've publicly said that,' LaHood told WCBU on May 4, 2026. On June 3 the House voted 215-208 to order U.S. forces out of the Iran war. He voted no. His explanation five days later: 'Essentially there's been nothing that's happened militarily within the last 30 days.'
In April 2024 LaHood voted against requiring the FBI to get a warrant before searching Americans' communications — the amendment failed on a 212-212 tie. In March 2026 he pushed a 'clean' renewal with no warrant requirement. A year before that first vote, he had revealed the FBI improperly searched the database for his own name, and called renewal without reform a non-starter.
On September 23, 2025, Goldman asked Fort Worth business leaders to contact his office more — 'So challenge us.' About two dozen constituents stood outside the same building because they'd tried repeatedly and gotten no response. At the event he said it wasn't clear to him what the demonstration was aimed at.
As immigration subcommittee chairman, McClintock has sent records demands to Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Arlington County and Denver. One letter asks a sheriff for her correspondence with six named immigrant-rights and civil-liberties groups.
The Armed Services chairman signed a bipartisan pledge to get 'a full accounting' of the September 2 follow-up strike on two men clinging to wreckage. Ten days later, having watched the classified video, he closed the case. The public still hasn't seen it.
