House — June 24, 2026
The June 24, 2026 House Extensions of Remarks were dominated by statements for the record rather than floor debate. The most policy-relevant material concerned missed votes on H.R. 6644 and S. 629, especially Rep. Kweisi Mfume's criticism of the Speaker's decision to move final passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to a time that conflicted with primary election obligations in several states. Mfume used the explanation to defend the bipartisan housing measure and to argue that the scheduling decision undermined Members' ability to represent their constituents fully. Members also used the Record extensively to recognize community achievements and public service. Rep. Ilhan Omar delivered a substantive environmental justice tribute to the East Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis, highlighting successful community efforts to address industrial pollution and secure redevelopment of the Roof Depot site for affordable housing, urban agriculture, and local organizations.
Senate — June 24, 2026
The Senate's June 24, 2026 proceedings were dominated by floor action on nominations, the opening procedural steps for the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act, and two notable failed motions to proceed. Senators confirmed two district court nominees, invoked cloture on two additional judicial nominees, and positioned the chamber for further confirmation votes after a scheduled pro forma period. The Senate also began moving toward consideration of S. 4784, the annual defense authorization bill, while members filed amendments addressing sanctions against adversary infrastructure in the Western Hemisphere and continued oversight of Ukraine-related funding under Operation Atlantic Resolve.
