Speaker Johnson Cancels House Votes to Block Epstein Transparency Floor Fight

Speaker Mike Johnson canceled the House's final day of votes before the August recess on July 22, 2025, to prevent a floor fight over Epstein files after House Democrats deadlocked the Rules Committee with repeated amendment votes demanding DOJ release all Epstein investigative records. Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna had introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act on July 16, but Johnson refused to schedule a vote despite constituent calls to GOP offices running 500-to-1 in favor of transparency.

Congress Opens Pell Grants to Short-Term For-Profit Job Training

Congress passed legislation expanding Pell Grant eligibility to cover 8-week workforce training programs offered by for-profit institutions. Previously, Pell Grants required enrollment in programs of at least 600 hours. Critics warned the change would expose low-income students to predatory for-profit programs with poor job placement records, while supporters argued it would give workers faster access to credentials in high-demand fields.
