Resolutions that condemn violence and praise law enforcement after an attack almost always pass with nearly unanimous support from both parties.

Key Points

This resolution officially speaks out against the shooting that happened on April 25, 2026, at the Washington Hilton. It describes the event as a planned attack aimed at Trump and other top government officials.
The document praises the Secret Service and other law enforcement for their quick action. It notes that one officer was hurt but is expected to recover, and it credits these teams with saving lives during the chaos.
It asks all Americans and public figures to stop using language that encourages violence or treats political opponents as less than human. It suggests that people should settle their disagreements through calm debate instead of fighting.
The resolution also pushes Congress to pass a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. This money would specifically help the Secret Service get the resources they need to protect national leaders.
