With just 20 scheduled legislative days remaining in the House and 22 in the Senate before the new Congress takes office on January 3, 2027,  the House Freedom Caucus has delivered an explosive, last-minute America First agenda to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

On Monday, members of the House Freedom Caucus released an ambitious legislative roadmap demanding that Republicans use their final weeks in power to deliver on President Donald Trump's priorities before Democrats take control on January 3, 2027.

The agenda includes mandatory voter identification in federal elections, sweeping border security legislation, a crackdown on sanctuary cities, congressional term limits, a ban on government officials trading stocks, major energy reforms, and at least $1 trillion in federal spending reductions.

The conservative lawmakers are also demanding that the Senate confirm as many Trump nominees as possible before Republicans surrender their majority.

Read the letter below:

Dear Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune –

In the two months remaining in the 119th Congress, we have an enormous amount of unfinished business to preserve and protect the Republic from an incoming majority party hell-bent on radically changing it. We must deny them every legislative leverage point possible.

Let's hold the line and finish the work. In no particular order, we should take action to:

1. Pass a reconciliation package to deal with debt, spending, and tax relief:

Fund Defense Modernization (missiles, boats, drones, space, etc.) to stop Democrats from using it to leverage for expansion of the welfare state;

Provide significant tax relief for families – particularly for healthcare: Expansion of HSA's in terms of both savings amount and use to drive down the price of healthcare for families, and codification of Short-Term Limited Duration Plans;
