FLOOR UPDATE:
"On Monday, the House will meet at 12:00 p.m. for Morning Hour debate and 2:00 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the House will meet at 10:00 a.m. for Morning Hour debate and 12:00 p.m. for legislative business.

We will consider several bills under Suspension of the Rules, including H.R. 748 – Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019. The complete list of suspension bills will be announced by the close of business today.
The House will consider H.R. 3494 – The Intelligence Authorization Act. The bill was approved by a unanimous voice vote in committee and would authorize funding and enable congressional oversight of the U.S. Intelligence Community.
The House will also consider a resolution to hold Attorney General Barr and Secretary Ross in contempt over their efforts to ignore Congressional subpoenas and subvert the 2020 Census with the addition of a citizenship question meant only to deter minorities from participating and leading to an undercount in parts of the country.
The House will also considerS.J.Res. 36, S.J.Res. 37, and S.J.Res. 38. Last month,the Senate passed 22 resolutions of disapproval related to Saudi-UAE arms sales for which the Administration declared an “emergency,” thereby bypassing Congress’s long-standing role in approving or blocking arms sales to foreign militaries. The House will take up three of these resolutions related to precision guided munitions (PGM), the most controversial and significant sales.
Lastly, the House will consider H.R. 582 – Raise the Wage Act. This legislation, authored by Chairman Bobby Scott, would gradually increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2024. This bill is an important step toward lifting millions of American workers out poverty by raising the minimum wage for the first time in nearly a decade."
