This concurrent resolution instructs the President, under the War Powers Resolution, to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from engaging in hostilities against Iran unless such action is explicitly authorized by Congress or needed to prevent an imminent attack on the United States or its allies. It also requires the President to comply with all reporting obligations if any forces remain to defend against imminent threats. This measure aims to restrict unauthorized military escalation, ensure congressional oversight, and clarify that further involvement in hostilities with Iran requires clear legislative approval.

This bill raises debt limits for those filing for streamlined bankruptcy, expanding eligibility for small businesses and individuals. For small businesses, the maximum eligible debt increases from $3.4 million to $7.5 million, allowing more companies—excluding large affiliated groups and publicly traded firms—to use a simplified bankruptcy reorganization process if most debt is business-related. For individuals and couples, it replaces separate current caps ($1,580,125 secured and $526,700 unsecured) with a single $2.75 million limit, simplifying who can file. These changes apply to new bankruptcy filings after enactment, broadening access to reorganization and repayment plans for more struggling businesses and households.

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to update its northern border threat analysis every three years, focusing on changes in apprehension numbers and demographics across different sectors. DHS must also update its overall northern border strategy every five years, incorporating the latest threat analysis, and provide classified briefings to Congress within 30 days of each analysis. Additionally, DHS must develop new performance measures for Air and Marine Operations between ports of entry in air and maritime environments. All of these actions must be completed without new federal funding, using existing resources to enhance border security.

Federal

This bill imposes sweeping sanctions on Russian officials, state-owned banks, and affiliates, while also extending certain sanctions on Iran. It bans new U.S. investment and energy exports to Russia, blocks Russian entities from U.S. securities exchanges and sovereign debt markets, and raises tariffs on Russian goods. The President can increase tariffs on Russian imports up to 500 percent and on goods from countries supporting Russian oil or sanctions evasion up to 100 percent, with broad discretion over implementation. Sanctions may only be lifted after congressional review. Most provisions expire after five years, except for the Iran Sanctions Act, which is extended through 2031.

This bill requires state agencies to provide records to the U.S. Department of Justice, upon request, to support fraud investigations in federally funded programs like Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), unemployment insurance, COVID-19 relief, disaster aid, and small business initiatives. Only information relevant to active fraud cases can be requested, and federal use is limited to law enforcement purposes. Strict privacy safeguards are required—including compliance with the Privacy Act, data encryption, restricted access, and prompt destruction of records after investigations. The Attorney General must report annually to Congress on the number of requests and outcomes.

Federal

This bill proposes creating a National Fraud Enforcement Division within the U.S. Department of Justice, under the Attorney General’s authority. The division would be led by an Assistant Attorney General, appointed by the President and designated for national fraud enforcement. Its responsibilities include coordinating large-scale fraud cases across states and federal agencies, guiding local federal prosecutors, and setting national priorities for combating fraud. The bill also amends existing law so the division and its officials are subject to federal prohibitions on political activity, helping maintain impartial enforcement.

Federal

This bill requires electric utilities to charge large non-residential customers—mainly data centers and similar facilities with peak demands of 100 megawatts or more—the full, incremental costs of any grid upgrades needed to serve them. These customers must provide financial assurances or upfront payments before upgrades begin and remain responsible for these costs even if they stop service. The requirements only apply when upgrades are necessary; if not, no special charges are imposed. It amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, directing state regulators to review and decide whether to adopt these rules within two years unless similar standards already exist.

Federal

This bill would create a Department of Justice (DOJ) team focused on investigating and prosecuting trade-related crimes like tariff evasion, smuggling, money laundering, counterfeit goods, and unsafe imports. With $20 million in funding, the initiative aims to strengthen the Department’s ability to protect fair competition, American workers, and consumer safety. The team, made up of experienced prosecutors, would increase investigations and prosecutions under federal trade laws and coordinate with agencies like Homeland Security and U.S. Customs. The bill also requires the Attorney General to submit annual reports to Congress on enforcement actions, prosecution outcomes, and how funds are used.

Federal

This joint resolution proposes to amend the U.S. Constitution to require that the U.S. Supreme Court be composed of nine justices—one chief justice and eight associate justices. By placing this requirement in the Constitution, the resolution would prevent future presidents and Congress from easily changing the number of Supreme Court seats. If adopted by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, the amendment would then need to be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to take effect, making it a significant and lasting change to the structure of the nation’s highest court.

Federal

This bill amends the Higher Education Act to deny certain federal funds to colleges that participate in nonexpressive commercial boycotts of U.S. strategic partners like Israel, unless justified by valid business reasons or federal exemptions. Schools seeking Title VI funds must annually certify they do not unreasonably restrict student or faculty participation in academic programs in Israel, and that Israeli students and faculty receive equal access to U.S. programs. Missing certification makes institutions ineligible for Title VI funds in the following fiscal year. The bill states that restricting academic cooperation with strategic partners undermines U.S. security and economic interests.

Federal

This bill amends the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act—a law that speeds up federal approval for major infrastructure projects. It specifically adds mining and mineral processing to those eligible for faster review, giving them the same expedited permitting process as transportation and energy projects. It also blocks a proposed September 2023 rule that would have limited which mining projects qualify for this fast-track process. These changes aim to make it quicker and easier for U.S. mining and mineral processing projects to get federal permits, reducing delays while maintaining broad eligibility for streamlined review.

Federal

The resolution broadly condemns socialism as fundamentally incompatible with American values and the U.S. Constitution. It argues that socialist ideology leads to concentrated power and has resulted in communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and mass atrocities—including over 100 million deaths worldwide. It specifically targets the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). It also calls for stricter election security measures, such as requiring proof of citizenship to register, government-issued photo ID at the polls, and stronger verification to ensure only eligible U.S. citizens can vote—including urging enactment of the SAVE America Act.

Federal

This bill would amend the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 to extend the duration of existing fishing regulations aimed at protecting the endangered North Atlantic right whale. Currently, these regulations are set to expire in 2028, but this bill would move that expiration date to 2035. As a result, any new or stricter whale-protection measures for the Northeast lobster fishing industry would also be delayed until after 2035. The bill does not change any of the rules themselves—it only extends how long they will remain in effect.

Federal

This bill tightens rules for secret government demands for emails, cloud files, and account records by requiring judges to find clear facts before approving gag orders (legally called nondisclosure orders or NDOs) blocking notice to individuals. Most gag orders would last up to 90 days, or one year for child exploitation or abuse cases. When a gag order expires, individuals must be notified by at least two methods and can request what data was turned over—except for certain sensitive or illegal content. The bill lets technology companies challenge unfair gag orders and requires the Justice Department to publish annual public reports on use and outcomes, including effects on news media.

Federal

This bill prevents a government shutdown by funding most federal agencies at 2026 levels through 12/11/26, with adjustments for WIC, disaster and wildfire response, Navy shipbuilding costs and $21.4 million in Medicaid funding for the Northern Mariana Islands. It extends transportation, cybersecurity, Homeland Security, technology modernization and veterans’ health and housing programs; renews African Growth and Opportunity Act and Haitian trade benefits through 2028; and extends customs fees through 3/31/32. It also blocks specified federal grant-rule changes, freezes congressional pay, provides two $174,000 survivor payments, and delays most restrictions on intoxicating hemp-derived THC products, including Delta-8 and Delta-10, until 12/11/26.

Federal

This bill would prohibit the Secretary of Labor from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) proposed rule on “Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings.” This would block the Department of Labor from requiring employers to adopt federal heat safety measures such as heat plans, training, water, rest breaks, or cooling steps for workers in high-heat environments. The bill seeks to prevent the establishment of new nationwide mandates for protecting workers from heat-related health risks, instead leaving such decisions to employers or state governments rather than setting federal requirements.

Federal

This bill would require developers of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models above certain thresholds to register with the federal government, adopt risk management, conduct independent assessments, publish redacted transparency reports, and maintain robust cybersecurity. Independent auditors would verify compliance, and federal authorities could issue emergency orders to restrict risky AI. State Attorneys General could help enforce the law, with civil penalties for violations. The bill also blocks states from passing new developer-focused rules in areas like risk management and incident reporting, but allows states to enforce general laws, regulate AI end users, protect minors, and manage their own AI use.

Federal

This bill establishes federal standards for Division I college athletics. It mandates medical coverage and catastrophic injury insurance for student athletes, protects their academic and scholarship rights, and guarantees compensation and legal representation for name, image, and likeness (NIL) activities. It requires educational resources for athletes, preserves key football rivalries, and sets clear rules for membership and voting in athletic associations. It is neutral on student athlete employment status and does not override existing antitrust, copyright, or civil rights laws, while providing a process for civil enforcement with an opportunity to cure violations.

Federal

This bill proposes changes to federal law to address organized retail and cargo theft. It lets federal prosecutors combine related thefts within a 12-month period, expands offenses to include not only theft but also the movement, sale, and resale of stolen goods—including prepaid and gift cards—and updates asset forfeiture rules. It creates a national Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center for information sharing, training, and joint operations among government and private partners. It also directs the expansion of grants and training for law enforcement agencies tackling these crimes.

Federal

This bill would require the federal government to update the monetary thresholds that determine when different federal purchasing rules apply every three years instead of five, starting in 2028. These thresholds govern when specific procedures—such as competitive bidding, contract approval, and oversight—are triggered in federal contracts. Moving to a three-year update schedule ensures these amounts are recalculated more frequently to better reflect inflation and current prices. This aims to keep purchasing policies aligned with economic conditions and avoid agencies being restricted by outdated limits as costs change.

Federal

This bill would amend the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) to address provider fraud. It gives the Department of Labor authority to suspend payments to medical providers—including doctors, clinics, or suppliers—if they have been convicted of fraud in the federal workers’ compensation system, any federal healthcare benefit program, or similar state-level programs that pay for comparable services. The Secretary of Labor would be required to issue regulations to implement these changes. The new rules would take effect 180 days after the bill is enacted. Providers who have not been convicted of fraud would not be affected.

Federal

This bill amends the Energy Conservation and Production Act to remove certain federal building energy efficiency standards. It eliminates previous requirements for new and renovated federal buildings to meet specific energy efficiency benchmarks or fuel restrictions. It ensures that buildings cannot be denied green or high-performance certification solely due to fossil fuel use. It repeals related federal regulations and directs the Secretary of Energy to update regulations within 180 days. The changes give federal agencies more flexibility in building design and operation, especially regarding energy sources, while allowing continued pursuit of green building certifications.

Federal

This bill proposes to authorize and formalize the construction of the new ballroom facility on the grounds of the White House. It specifically grants the President the authority to both design and approve all aspects of the ballroom, bypassing the usual requirements for additional oversight or external review. This would allow the President to determine the size, style, and features of the new event space without input from other government agencies or historic preservation boards. The stated intention is to create expanded capacity for official functions, such as state dinners, ceremonies, and large public events, potentially modernizing the White House's ability to host significant gatherings.

Federal

This bill extends whistleblower protections to a broader group involved in federal contracts and grants—including contractors, subcontractors, grantees, personal service providers, and former employees. It prohibits retaliation when these individuals refuse illegal orders or report waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement, legal violations, or threats to public health or safety related to federal, Defense, or NASA contracts and grants. It also bars executive branch officials from pressuring organizations to retaliate and allows for disciplinary action against those officials if they do so. Whistleblower rights cannot be waived by contract or arbitration, making these protections mandatory for all covered parties.

Federal

This bill would speed up geothermal energy projects by allowing those on non-federal land—with less than 50% federally owned underground resources—to proceed with only a state permit. These projects would be exempt from federal drilling permits, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews, and most federal historic preservation and Endangered Species Act rules (unless the state lacks such laws). Federal oversight would still apply to collecting payments (royalties) from resource extraction and ensuring accurate reporting of production. The bill excludes Indian lands and resources managed in trust for tribes. It aims to reduce federal involvement and give states more authority over qualifying projects.

Federal

This bill keeps the federal government running at 2026 spending levels through December 4, 2026, to prevent a government shutdown while Congress finalizes a full-year budget. It blocks new programs and expansions, allowing only existing services and projects to continue. It prevents the Department of Defense from starting or expanding production not already funded and limits agencies from launching new initiatives. It helps avoid federal worker furloughs and ensures benefits like Social Security, WIC, and SNAP continue uninterrupted. It also extends the National Flood Insurance Program, funds disaster and wildfire response, supports new Indian Health Service facilities, and allows small business loan programs to continue.

Federal

This resolution sets Congress’s spending framework for 2027 and projects budget levels through 2036. It recommends targets for revenues, spending, deficits, and debt—like $4.48 trillion in revenues and $6.08 trillion in outlays for 2027. Funding is steered toward key services—defense, health care, Medicare, veterans, and transportation—while assuming large savings elsewhere. It allows fast-track budget bills (reconciliation), directs committees to propose deficit-related legislation, and permits special budget adjustments for emergencies, disaster relief, wildfire suppression, Social Security, and health care fraud control. Though not binding, it guides future funding bills, and even with these targets, deficits and debt would still rise.

Federal

This bill imposes a federal tax on very large companies—those with at least $100 million in annual revenue and over $10 million in wages—when their top executive earns more than 50 times the median worker. The tax is 1% of the extra CEO pay over 50 times the typical worker’s pay, and it increases as the pay gap grows wider—so the larger the gap, the higher the tax. The structure is intended to incentivize companies to raise worker pay or limit executive compensation. The bill also directs regulators to block avoidance tactics, prohibits deducting the tax from corporate income taxes, and holds related businesses jointly responsible.

Federal

This bill seeks to modernize U.S. banking laws by streamlining new bank formation, increasing transparency for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), and tailoring regulations for smaller, lower-risk institutions. It requires agencies to review and update major regulations every eight years, eliminate outdated or overly burdensome rules, and expand public reporting on regulatory impacts. It also reforms bank supervision by establishing timeliness standards and giving banks more opportunity to appeal supervisory decisions. It clarifies merger rules to promote competition, limits the use of reputational risk in supervision, and encourages partnerships between banks and fintech firms.

Federal

This joint resolution would block recent Department of Education regulations on federal student loans, preventing the changes from taking effect. If enacted, it would keep the Graduate and Professional Student Loan (PLUS) program unchanged, allowing graduate and professional students to continue borrowing up to the full cost of attendance. There would be no new borrowing limits for graduate students and parents, maintaining current rules. Existing Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) plans would remain, rather than being replaced, and current loan rehabilitation policies would continue, so borrowers would not get another chance to rehabilitate defaulted loans.
