Khanna announced that he and Congressman Massie would introduce a bipartisan Iran war powers resolution.

Khanna stated that he and Congressman Massie visited the Department of Justice to read unredacted Epstein files, found that 70 to 80 percent remained redacted, identified six wealthy men whose identities had been hidden, and introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act to require the FBI to unredact those files.

Khanna called for Congress to hold every person who emailed about going to Epstein's island before the Oversight Committee to answer questions about their knowledge of and participation in crimes at the location.

Khanna addressed the House for 1 minute to express concerns about Donald Trump's threats to invade Greenland and to appeal to world leaders that a new generation of Americans believes in multiracial democracy, statesmanship, and international law.

Khanna described ICE as having "gone rogue" and cited an incident involving an ICE officer shooting a 37-year-old mother, stated concerns about human rights violations in the California City Immigration Detention Center based on his visit where he spoke with 47 detainees about conditions including rocks in food, blood in urine, lack of medical care, and inadequate clothing, and called for accountability to ICE.

Khanna stated that the deadline for Pam Bondi to release the Epstein files is tomorrow at midnight, as required by a bill he authored with Thomas Massie that passed the House 427-1, the Senate 100-0, and was signed by the President, and warned that any Justice Department official who does not comply will be subject to prosecution for obstruction of justice and that Pam Bondi will be held in inherent contempt of Congress or subject to impeachment if she does not comply.

Khanna addressed the House for 1 minute to express concern about military buildup in the Caribbean and to call for the American people to oppose a regime-change war in Venezuela.

Khanna addressed the House for one minute to honor the nine Black worshippers murdered at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina on June 17, 2015, and called for passing Representative Wendell Gilliard's hate crime bill and standing up for teaching honest Black history amid state efforts to limit its teaching.

Khanna addressed the House for 5 minutes to discuss what he described as fiscally irresponsible tax cuts, stating that the Republican budget would add $3.8 trillion to the deficit over 10 years while providing $82,000 annually in tax breaks to millionaires compared to $750 for families making under $100,000, and noting that the bill would cut $750 billion in Medicaid benefits.

Khanna introduced legislation to codify President Trump's executive order on most-favored-nation status for drug pricing, which would allow the importation of cheaper drugs and prevent Americans from paying more for medications than people in other industrialized nations.

Khanna stated that the stock market is down almost 20 percent, bond yields are skyrocketing, the dollar is declining, and prices are going up, and called these "the most self-destructive, wealth-destroying policies any administration has undertaken in modern American history," arguing that the President needs a new economic team with different advisors who understand how the economy works.
