2025 January 21

Senate:

No bills passed in the Senate, nobody confirmed. They’re voting on Hegseth eventually for Secretary of Defense. I think it’s telling that in the motion to proceed that Fetterman keeps voting with the Republicans.

House:

Bills passed by the House include a commemorative work on the Medal of Honor on the National Mall, publication on public use on federal waterways among Federal land and water management agencies (I was unsuccessfully looking for a map of where exactly these are, like is a river in a national park this? Or a lake above a certain size?), a bill on making a task force on shark attacks (depredation is the term used), tasking the Agriculture and Interior to report annually on hazardous fuels reduction specifically in the wildland-urban, and some other bills that didn’t really stand out to me.
