Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York and Republican Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia are receiving an award for civility for teaming up on criminal justice reform.

The House Armed Services committee held a hearing from survivors of domestic violence serving in the U.S. military and how the Pentagon has addressed their cases.

The House Judiciary panel took up gun control measures as a way to increase pressure on the GOP-led Senate to address the issue. Republicans are waiting to see what, if anything President Trump backs.

The committee is readying rules that will guide its impeachment probe of President Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., opposes formally moving forward, saying public support isn't there yet.

The Pentagon notified lawmakers in several states that $3.6 billion for planned military projects will be diverted to pay for 11 border construction projects along the southern border.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper began notifying lawmakers which projects will be canceled in their districts. "It is a slap in the face to the members of the Armed Forces," Sen. Chuck Schumer said.

The Department of Homeland Security will move millions in emergency funds for new detention beds and facilities for court cases. House Democrats slammed the move, calling it "backwards and cruel."

Green says he will bring his articles of impeachment to the House floor for a fourth time. More than 120 House Democrats now say they support an inquiry.

Texas Rep. Al Green was one of the first House Democrats to call for impeaching President Trump. He's trying to turn up the heat on the issue over the summer, but most of his leadership is opposed.

Texas is home to some of the deadliest shootings in modern U.S. history. It's making some in a once solidly Republican community outside Houston revisit their positions on gun control.

President Trump has made creating a Space Force a key line in his campaign rallies. Congress is now on board due to concerns about security threats to satellites and the chance to land more jobs.

The shooting in El Paso is making some people, in what was once a solidly Republican district in the Houston suburbs, revisit their position on gun control measures.

It started as a joke, as President Trump riffed on the idea last year. Now, Congress could create the first, new military service in more than 70 years.

The compromise was negotiated between the administration and Hill leaders and avoids a fiscal fight around the 2020 election. The deal suspends the debt limit for two years, heading off a default.

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan testifies before the House Oversight committee as Democrats push back against Trump administration's policies to address the border crisis.

Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan appeared before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Thursday, where Chairman Elijah Cummings said he's wondering "whether there is an empathy deficit."

Defense Department officials released their tally on Tuesday after mounting pressure to detail the costs for taxpayers, but they say personnel participation was part of the training budget.

Senate Democrats demanded a government investigation of the unknown costs for President Trump's Fourth of July Lincoln Memorial speech, military flyovers and heightened security.

President Trump's decision to deliver a speech from the Lincoln Memorial and add flyovers, tanks and more fireworks is prompting Democrats to say he's turning the holiday into a campaign rally.

Lawmakers are still waiting to hear the price tag on this year's event. Thursday's celebration is expected to feature military hardware and a speech by President Trump at the Lincoln Memorial.
