WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, the House Rules Committee Democratic Staff released a new end-of-year report detailing how Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans have systematically dismantled deliberation in the People’s House—rigging the rules to silence Members, block amendments, and turn Congress into a rubber stamp for President Trump and the billionaire class.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — After House Republicans attempted to jam through the GOP Tax Scam in the dead of night, House Democrats fought back with the longest Rules Committee markup in recent memory to ensure the American people can see clearly what this devastating bill does to everyday Americans.
Announcements
The Committee on Rules will meet Monday, January 12, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET in H-313, The Capitol on the following measures:
ANNOUNCEMENT
H.R. 2988 – Protecting Prudent Investment of Retirement Savings Act
Dear Colleague:
The Committee on Rules may meet the week of January 12th to provide for floor consideration of H.R. 2988.
If a Member wishes to offer an amendment for consideration, they must submit a searchable electronic copy of the amendment, which should be provided by the Office of Legislative Counsel, via the Rules Committee’s website by 11:00 AM on Friday, January 9, 2026. Please note that staff must be on the House network, either physically or remotely via virtual private network (VPN), in order to access the online submission form.
Members should draft their amendments to the text of H.R. 2988, which is available on the Rules Committee website. Members are strongly advised to submit amendments by the deadline. Members should attempt to draft their amendments with actual legislative language to ensure the Committee is able to properly review and assess amendment submissions. Members should not submit amendment “placeholder text”, blank attachments, or legislative text which is not consistent with the intent of the amendment. Amendments which do not comply with this directive will not be reviewed, even if revised.
Members may not digitally edit HOLC PDFs prior to submission. If a Member must edit an HOLC draft prior to submission, please do so by printing, hand correcting, and scanning so it is clear there is a non-HOLC change. Members are still urged to re-submit any such hand revision upon receipt of an updated formal draft from HOLC.
Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that their amendments are drafted in the most appropriate format. Additionally, Members should consult with the Office of the Parliamentarian and the Committee on the Budget to be certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House and the Congressional Budget Act. If you have any questions, please contact Caroline Donlon of the Committee staff at Caroline.Donlon@mail.house.gov or at 202-225-9191.
Sincerely,
Virginia Foxx
Chairwoman
