Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) said Monday that he is "outraged" over reports that the IRS was basing audit decisions on politics, and called on the Obama administration to investigate its actions.

"Among the core principles of our democracy is the idea that the government exists to help all its citizens, regardless of their political beliefs," Cicilline said. "I am outraged to learn that certain members of the IRS may have engaged in a concerted effort to apply political pressure on citizens who were seeking to exercise their First Amendment rights to petition the government."

Rep. Michael Turner's bill would jail and fine IRS workers who discriminate against political speech.

Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) on Sunday called on the UDSA to help deliver emergency food aid to hundreds of kids who no longer use the school lunch program because their schools have shut down.

Kildee said the Buena Vista School District, just south of Saginaw Bay, closed its schools on May 6 because it could not meet payroll. That decision has kicked more then 400 students out of school, and Kildee said 91 percent of those students receive federal food assistance through free and reduced school lunches.

The Senate starts at 2 p.m., but has no votes scheduled. Instead, senators will have a chance to continue debating S. 601, the Water Resources Development Act, if they wish.

Some may also choose to make comments about the growing scandal about the IRS decision to audit tea party groups. Others may talk about the three nominations up this week, including Secretary of Energy nominee Ernest Moniz.

Next week, many House Republicans will get what they've been waiting for all year — another chance to repeal the 2010 law known as ObamaCare.

Repeal remains impossible, at least today. The Senate will never touch it, and Obama would of course veto it.

But GOP leaders learned the hard way last month that many Republicans need the House to keep up the fight. Leaders brought up a bill in April that would have tweaked the law, and thought that gutting a portion of ObamaCare along the way would win GOP support.

Rep. Janice Hahn (D-Calif.) on Thursday introduced legislation that would prohibit all stalkers from buying guns.

Her Protecting Victims of Stalking Act, H.R. 1914, is meant to close what she says is a loophole in current law. Today, people who have stalked or threatened an "intimate partner" cannot buy or own a gun.

The House next week will pass legislation reaffirming that it is U.S. policy to keep the government out of the business of managing the Internet.

Early in the week, members will vote on H.R. 1580, which states simply that the policy of the U.S. is to "preserve and advance the successful multistakeholder model that governs the Internet."

A Senate committee will hear about technical advances in cars, such as self-driving vehicles.

On Wednesday, the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee will hold a hearing on “advanced vehicle technology and its implications.”

Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) introduced a bill Thursday that would reduce taxes on small domestic breweries.

"Small brewers have been anchors of local communities and America's economy since the start of our history," Cardin said when introducing the bill. "Presidents from George Washington to Barack Obama have been home brewers."
