A defiant Rep. George Santos has repeatedly vowed not to resign, but a resolution expelling him from the House is listed for possible action Thursday on the floor. Whether it ends up being Thursday or Friday, members will soon cast their verdict on whether to make the embattled freshman just the sixth House member to be expelled in history.

Reminder: Our internal POLITICO whip count found nearly 90 House Republicans who say they plan or are likely to support voting to boot the New York Republican.

Other action: Votes are expected mid-Thursday afternoon on legislation to permanently freeze $6 billion in funds made accessible to Iran as part of a hostage deal and to bar the housing of migrants on lands managed by the federal government.

For your actual radar: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) hosts a bipartisan press conference calling for transparency on unidentified aerial phenomena at 12:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, in the Senate: Members will be voting on two judicial nominations throughout the day, but all eyes will be on the Senate Judiciary Committee to see if Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) follows through on the plan to subpoena megadonor Harlan Crow and Federalist Society Co-Chair Leonard Leo. That action kicks off at 10 a.m.
