The House of Representatives would state its opinion that renaming the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to include "Donald J. Trump" goes against federal law. This bill would also call for the original name to be put back and for the current board members, appointed by President Trump, to step down. It aims to uphold the original intent of Congress to honor President Kennedy solely with this national memorial.

This bill would make it harder for very large banks to buy smaller, failed banks by tightening rules that prevent too much concentration in the banking industry. Federal agencies would need strong proof that such a merger is truly necessary to avoid major economic problems and that no smaller, qualified buyers are available. These decisions would also be reported to Congress and made public, giving people more insight into how these mergers happen.

A government program helps get back money stolen by corrupt foreign officials. It's called the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Rewards Pilot Program. This bill would make that program last longer, change its name, and give it a new 7-year end date. This means it could keep offering rewards to people who share tips about hidden stolen money.

The House would state its belief that the U.S. Postal Service should stay a public service, not be privatized. This means the House wants the USPS to keep offering affordable, universal service to over 168 million addresses. It also wants the USPS to keep supporting millions of jobs without being sold to private companies.
