Farm, Food, and National Security: The House is set to take up H.R. 7567, which aims to update farm programs through 2031. It focuses on strengthening commodity support, enhancing conservation, reducing rural energy costs, and addressing foreign investment in U.S. farmland.

PROTECT Kids:  The House is set to consider H.R. 2616 , which requires public elementary and middle schools receiving federal funds to obtain parental consent before changing a minor's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name, or altering sex-based accommodations.

Foreign Intelligence Accountability: S.1318 will be brought up for consideration this week. It proposes key amendments to the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act. It aims to ensure Members of Congress access to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), strengthens penalties for violations, enhances amicus curiae roles, and improves whistleblower protections within intelligence gathering. The measure still doesn't include a warrant requirement regarding FBI searches tied to Americans' communication that is swept up in the program.
