A bipartisan House effort, involving Reps. Kat Cammack and Teresa Leger Fernández, aims to fundamentally change how sexual misconduct and other bad behavior are investigated in Congress. They have been working on legislation that plans to reform the Ethics Committee's functions and streamline complaint reporting processes for staffers. The proposals build on previous efforts like the 2018 law and seek support from figures such as Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The House Ethics Committee recommended censuring Rep. Chuck Edwards for unprofessional conduct toward two female aides, including inappropriate gifts, comments, and invitations. Edwards denied any sexual intent, but the committee found his actions 'beyond inappropriate.'

Lawmakers from both parties are supporting a legislative push to ban members of Congress from engaging in sexual relationships with House staff. The initiative, proposed by Colorado Representative Jeff Crank, aims to extend existing ethics rules but faces criticism for allowing exceptions if relationships are disclosed to the House Ethics Committee. Examples of controversial behavior include reports of a North Carolina representative gifting handguns to staff and an Arizona senator accused of past relationships with congressional staff.

Rep. Kat Cammack proposes mandatory background checks for Congress staff, citing claims of foreign agents infiltrating Capitol Hill. She describes foreign government-paid aides as the worst kept secret on Capitol Hill.

The House passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent, ending the biannual clock changes. The vote was divided across party lines, with Florida lawmakers supporting it for economic benefits and others opposing due to concerns about agriculture and public safety. The bill now faces uncertainty in the Senate despite White House support and President Donald Trump's advocacy.

Florida Republicans at the GOP summit used the election of Democratic Socialists of America members in New York and other states to rally their base ahead of the 2026 midterms. Speakers including Kat Cammack, Ashley Moody, and Blaise Ingoglia labeled Democrats as 'Communists,' 'anarchist psychos,' and 'bat shit crazy,' warning of a perceived socialist threat to American values.

Six Florida House Republicans opposed a bipartisan housing bill following President Trump's cancellation of a signing ceremony, as he demanded Congress prioritize the SAVE America Act. The SAVE Act requires proof of U.S. citizenship and photo ID for voting, and the six GOP members, including Anna Paulina Luna and Randy Fine, pledged to block legislation until the Senate approves it. The Senate has not passed the act due to insufficient support.

GOP Rep. Kat Cammack criticized the Trump administration’s $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund, which was later canceled due to Republican backlash. She described government weaponization as a 'very real' and 'rampant' issue.

US House leaders announced a bipartisan effort to combat sexual misconduct in Congress, led by congresswomen Kat Cammack and Teresa Leger Fernández. The taskforce aims to identify reforms and solutions to make Congress a safer work environment. This comes after resignations of two congressmen amid sexual misconduct allegations.
