Jackson Women’s Health Organization , 142 S. Ct. 2228 (2022) (referred to in this preamble as Dobbs ), corrected the grave injustice committed in Roe , by holding that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion and that Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives ; Whereas many States have taken historic steps to protect unborn life since the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States in Dobbs ; and Whereas many millions of people in the United States continue to press to protect unborn life and strengthen support for families charged with protecting that life: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) commemorates 2 years since the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization , 142 S.

Trump was an abhorrent act of cowardice that must be universally condemned and that the only appropriate place for the Nation to settle political disputes is at the ballot box on election day.

Whereas former President Donald J. Trump hosted a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024; Whereas, in the middle of remarks, former President Trump turned his head and was shot in the ear by an assailant attempting to end Trump’s life; Whereas the assailant murdered Corey Comperatore, a courageous father of 2, husband, and pillar of his community who sacrificed his life so his family could keep theirs; Whereas political violence, in all of its manifestations and from any political persuasion, must be condemned; Whereas, prior to the attempted assassination of former President Trump, many Democrats often recklessly referred to the 45th President as a dictator , even comparing him to the profoundly wicked mass murderer Adolf Hitler; Whereas President Joe Biden had mentioned a week earlier that it was time to put Trump in a bulls-eye , and has repeatedly referred to former President Trump and his supporters as an existential threat to United States democracy, arguing we cannot let Trump win ; Whereas the responsibility for the attempted assassination is squarely with the assailant; Whereas several members of the Democratic Party, including Joe Biden, have nevertheless utilized inflammatory language to justify violence against Donald Trump, including by saying (of Trump): If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him ; Whereas a call to civility and a lowering of the temperature should begin with the incumbent President’s own personal example; Whereas the unprecedented animosity toward former President Trump was once again demonstrated by the introduction of H.R. 8081, the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act, which aimed to take away Trump’s Secret Service detail; and Whereas such legislation was intended to fetishize violence and placate the worst impulses of a hyperpartisan political constituency, and should be dismissed out of hand: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the— (1) attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump was an abhorrent act of cowardice that must be universally condemned; and (2) only appropriate place for the Nation to settle political disputes is at the ballot box on election day.

Whereas Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, and brutally murdered 1,200 innocent men, women, and children; Whereas Hamas took over 250 hostages and has tortured innocent men, women, and children; Whereas Israel has every right to defend itself from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranian-backed proxies, other foreign terrorist organizations, and the Iranian Government; Whereas the United States should continue to support Israel’s efforts to eradicate the threat Hamas poses to the Israeli people; Whereas the Israeli Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has provided the Gaza Strip with over 828,700 tons of aid since the beginning of the war; Whereas the Israel Defense Forces and the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories have coordinated airdrops of aid to the Gaza Strip, which were provided by the United States, Egypt, Jordan, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and France; Whereas Israel has approved the entry of over 98 percent of all aid trucks into the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war; Whereas Israel has provided over 47,000 tons of water to the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war; Whereas Israel is working to connect international organizations with field hospitals in the Gaza Strip and at the El-Arish Port; Whereas Israel has coordinated the evacuation of over 3,300 wounded individuals from the Gaza Strip for medical treatment in other countries; and Whereas the arrest warrants requested by the International Criminal Court for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant are unprecedented and would hinder Israel’s ability to coordinate the facilitation of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip: Now, therefore, be it
