IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 157 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 24, 2025 Mr. Ogles submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Impeaching John Deacon Bates, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

That John Deacon Bates, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate: Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against John Deacon Bates, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. Article I John Deacon Bates, a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with the trust and confidence placed in him as a Federal judge, as follows: Judge Bates ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to restore socially divisive and destructive LGBTQI+ content on taxpayer subsidized government webpages, in contravention of Executive Order 14168 (January 20, 2025): Judge Bates, in granting a temporary restraining order to the far-left organization, Doctors for America, argued that by removing long relied upon medical resources without explanation, it is likely that the [sic] each agency failed to examine the relevant data and articulate a satisfactory explanation for its action . He further argued that the agencies did not consider the substantial reliance by medical professionals on the removed webpages . Judge Bates failed to consider that these webpages maintained informational resources on gender affirming care—better described as the intentional surgical or chemical castration of children—and that at no time in the history of the American judicial system, until very recently, would judges have considered the purposeful damage to the bodies of healthy young men and women to be a compelling or even legitimate health concern. To the contrary, it is the opinion of this Congress that the continued socialization of this grave moral evil necessitates immediate action against those who would promote it. Accordingly, Judge John Deacon Bates, has engaged in conduct so utterly lacking in intellectual honesty and basic integrity that he is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit to hold the office of Federal judge, and should be removed from office.

Whereas community arts education is a dynamic and inclusive approach to learning and engagement in the arts, fostering creativity, cultural expression, and social transformation within communities; Whereas community arts education encompasses a broad range of artistic disciplines and practices that empower individuals to develop their artistic skills, deepen their cultural understanding, and cultivate a sense of belonging and agency within themselves and their communities; Whereas community arts education is a participatory and transformative practice that engages individuals in the creation, exploration, and critical dialogue of the arts within a community context, and community arts education goes beyond individual skill-building or personal expression and it connects through a larger social context; Whereas community arts education leaders, which can include culture bearers, teaching artists, and administrators, play a vital role in providing essential arts instruction and learning to diverse communities, both within and outside of formal educational settings; Whereas community arts education is liberatory by uplifting our communities’ culture, heritage, and history in many forms such as dance, music, theatre, literary arts and other modes of self-expression; Whereas community arts education can build people’s imaginations, build critical learning and life skills, promote better health, and generate a sense of shared culture and community belonging; Whereas research has shown that community arts education positively impacts individuals of all ages and develops social emotional competencies like confidence in self-expression and ideas, social awareness, and self-regulating emotions; and Whereas students who actively participate in the arts tend to enroll in competitive colleges, as well as four-year colleges in general, at higher rates compared to students with lower engagement in the arts: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives supports Community Arts Education Day and recognizes Community Arts Education Day is more crucial than ever as a vehicle for activism, individual and collective self-expression, and healing.

Whereas chordoma is a slow growing, yet aggressive bone cancer of the skull and spine; Whereas it strikes people of all ages and affects more than 25,000 individuals worldwide; Whereas, each year, thousands of people are diagnosed with chordoma including about 300 people annually in the United States; Whereas chordomas are among the most complicated tumors to treat due to involvement of critical structures such as the brain stem, spinal cord, and important nerves and arteries; Whereas surgery or radiation performed by a skilled treatment team can be curative for some patients, but even with the best care possible, the recurrence rate remains high; and Whereas no drugs are known to cure or effectively control the disease, meaning that patients whose disease progresses after exhausting surgical and radiation options have little hope for a full recovery: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that chordoma patients and families need increased funding and support for— (1) accurate and early diagnosis; (2) the development of new treatments, diagnostics, and cures; (3) fewer hurdles between research and new treatments; and (4) patient-centric approaches to drug discovery and development.

Whereas colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men and women combined in the United States; Whereas colorectal cancer is one of the most highly preventable forms of cancer because screening tests can find polyps that can be removed before becoming cancerous; Whereas screening tests can detect colorectal cancer early, when treatment works best; Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that if every individual aged 50 or older had regular screening tests, as many as 60 percent of deaths from colorectal cancer could be prevented; Whereas the 5-year survival rate for patients with localized colorectal cancer is 90 percent, but only 39 percent of all diagnoses occur at this stage; Whereas colorectal cancer screenings can effectively reduce colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, yet, 1 in 3 adults over 50 years of age are not up to date with recommended colorectal cancer screening; Whereas 1 in 23 men and 1 in 26 women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in their lifetime; Whereas, by 2030, colorectal cancer is expected to be the number one cancer killer for those ages 20–49; Whereas public awareness and education campaigns on colorectal cancer prevention, screening, and symptoms are held during the month of March each year; and Whereas educational efforts can help provide information to the public of methods of prevention and screening, as well as about symptoms for early detection: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month; and (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate awareness and educational activities.
IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 182 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 3, 2025 Mr. Morelle submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of March 3, 2025, as National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day .

Whereas triple-negative breast cancer was recognized as a distinct type of cancer in 2006; Whereas triple-negative breast cancer disproportionately affects young women, Black and Hispanic women, and those with BRCA gene mutations; Whereas triple-negative breast cancers are estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, and HER2-negative, making them distinct from other breast cancers; Whereas 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses are designated as triple-negative; Whereas triple-negative breast cancer can be more aggressive and more likely to spread and recur; Whereas triple-negative breast cancer accounts for around 25 percent of all deaths from breast cancer in the United States; and Whereas March 3, 2025, would be an appropriate date to designate as National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day : Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives supports the designation of National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day to create awareness of the devastating effect of these cancers on families in the United States and the need for strong action to eradicate triple-negative breast cancer.
