HRES 818: Impeaching Deborah Boardman, Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution proposes impeaching Judge Deborah Boardman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, alleging she violated judicial standards by sentencing Nicholas John Roske - a man who attempted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh - to eight years (instead of the 30-year recommendation) - based on Roske’s transgender identity. The resolution claims Judge Boardman’s decision, which cited Roske as a "transgender woman" in sentencing, undermined the law and impartiality required of federal judges. It argues this conduct constitutes "high crimes and misdemeanors" by violating the constitutional standard for judicial "good behavior." The resolution is now referred to the House Judiciary Committee for further review.

HRES 812: Condemning the United Nations and International Maritime Organization for proposing a global tax on shipping emissions, threatening United States sovereignty, trade, and economic interests.

HRES 812 is a non-binding House resolution condemning the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and United Nations for proposing a global tax on shipping emissions. It opposes the plan to require vessels to pay into a centralized international fund based on carbon emissions, arguing this would threaten U.S. sovereignty, raise costs for American exporters, and harm trade competitiveness. The resolution demands that U.S. representatives at the IMO vote against the proposal and asserts that no American shipping company can be taxed by international bodies without Congressional approval. It also calls for reciprocal measures against nations enforcing such a tax, though the resolution itself has no legal effect.

S 3001: Shutdown Fairness Act

The Shutdown Fairness Act ensures that certain federal employees who must work during government shutdowns - such as those in national security or emergency roles, plus their supporting contractors - receive wages during funding gaps. It directs agencies to use unspent Treasury funds to pay these "excepted employees" for work performed when no appropriations are in effect, covering periods until new funding is enacted. Payments end automatically when either full-year appropriations are passed or a continuing resolution without such funding is enacted. All costs are later charged to the agency’s next regular budget, avoiding new appropriations. This directly affects federal workers designated as essential during shutdowns, not the general public.

It references CDC and NIH data showing rising rates of depression, suicidal ideation, and suicide among U.S. youth, particularly ages 10-34.

HR 5708: Federal Employees Civil Relief Act

HR 5708, the Federal Employees Civil Relief Act, provides temporary protections for federal workers and contractors during government shutdowns. It suspends civil proceedings like evictions, mortgage foreclosures, student loan collections, and tax payments if the worker is furloughed or working without pay. During a shutdown (and for 30 days after), courts can pause these obligations or adjust payments to prevent harm, and lenders/insurers cannot penalize workers for missed payments due to the shutdown. The law directly affects federal employees whose income is disrupted by a shutdown, ensuring housing, loan, and tax protections while maintaining their civil rights.

It directly affects states that cover WIC costs using their own money when federal funding lapses.

This ensures states aren’t burdened with costs for a federal funding gap that impacts nutrition assistance for women, infants, and children.
