Week Ahead in Washington: July 19
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – The House of Representatives enters its last full week before the annual August recess with two committee hearings targeting the Smithsonian Institution set before lawmakers head home Friday.
A House Oversight subcommittee will hold a hearing Tuesday to examine claims that the Smithsonian Institution has worked to “reshape the past.” The hearing follows a White House report released earlier this month that claims the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History “alters and disparages the history of the United States.”
The Committee on House Administration will hold a nearly identical hearing Wednesday.
That same day, President Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to Georgia as part of a tax cut tour ahead of the midterm elections. Trump has been traveling to key states to promote the White House’s tax policy, with the high cost of living serving as a central theme heading into November.
During the Georgia stop, Trump is also expected to promote “Trump Accounts,” a federal savings program that creates investment funds for children.
Then on Friday, the President’s global 10% tariffs on all goods entering the United States is set to expire. The tariffs replaced those overturned by the Supreme Court in February and are limited to 150 days before Congress is required to extend them.

Storm Team4 Forecast: Smokey air clears up a bit on mostly dry Sunday
4 things to know about the weather:
- Drier air moving into the DMV throughout the day
- A few very isolated showers could impact southern Maryland and the Northern Neck of VA (all south of D.C.)
- Wildfire smoke returns to the upper levels of the atmosphere
- Next rain chance? Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday
The rain on Saturday helped clear out some of the smoke from the Canadian wildfires so we’re waking up to code yellow in many places across the D.C. area, which is typical for this time of year.
Drier air is coming into the area from Canadian high pressure. While it’ll be cloudy in some places, it’ll be a nice day with lower humidity and less hazy skies.
The remaining smoke could make the sun look a little orange later. Those south of D.C. could see see some showers through the afternoon and evening.
