I was truly expecting that the week before Christmas would be a quiet one at the Capitol, but apparently, there are some things that can't be put off.
Note: HHR refers to a hearing room in the House building; SHR refers to one in the Senate building.
Note2: Generally, I'll only specify bills that look to spread propaganda. Other bills may be more conventionally bad (think: corrupt or other misuses of public monies and/or authority). My recommendation is that if an agenda covers an area of interest to you, read the entire agenda.
Note3: Each chamber's respective Rules Committee meets on Monday, the House's in HHR4 at 1 p.m. and the Senate's in Senate Caucus Room 1, also at 1 p.m. Both committees serve as rubber stamps for bills leadership wants to be advanced and gatekeepers for measures that leadership wants stopped.
Note4: Meeting start times may be listed, but are flexible. Before journeying to the Capitol or viewing the meeting online, verify the start time.
Note5: Watch for strikers, or strike everything amendments. Those involve inserting language that replaces the entirety of a bill. Those can be introduced at any time and can make a previously harmless bill into a very bad one.
On Monday, 12/18

I normally don't cover non-legislative events here, but on Monday, Adrian Fontes, the Arizona Secretary of State, will conduct a drawing to set the order of the names on AZ's Presidential Preference Election (primary) ballots.
If Cheeto isn't listed first, I expect MAGA types will claim the process was fraudulent.
But that's not what I'm thinking couldn't be put off. That would be on
Tuesday, 12/19
