The House this week will be flooded with talk about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), as a House panel gets set to hold a hearing on the increased sightings of such objects.
The hearing comes as frustrated lawmakers are demanding more information on UFOs and UAPs, which grew as a topic of discussion after an Air Force Veteran and former member of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency claimed that the government is holding back information about UFOs. That individual, David Grusch, is among the witnesses slated to testify.
Also this week, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will face some of his staunchest Republican critics this week when he testifies before the House Judiciary Committee, a hearing that could further fuel calls for his ouster.
The House is also scheduled to vote on the first two of 12 appropriations bills, as lawmakers race to approve government funding ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline. And the chamber this week could also vote on a resolution to censure Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), after Democrats threatened to force a vote on penalizing the indicted congressman.
On the Senate side, lawmakers will continue consideration of the annual defense bill as the end-of-September deadline inches closer. The House already passed its own version of the measure, and is expected to conference its legislation with the eventual Senate measure to come to a compromise bill.
