Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Condemning Beijing's destruction of Hong Kong's democracy and rule of law.
The bill increases accountability and may strengthen nonproliferation and rights protections regarding Hong Kong, but it risks economic fallout and diplomatic frictions with China that could hurt American businesses and complicate international cooperation.
Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (XXVI) and the harmful conflation of China's "One China Principle" and the United States'"One China Policy".
The resolution seeks to expand Taiwan's participation in UN‑affiliated agencies and rally international support—potentially improving public health and strengthening multilateral defenses of Taiwan's voice—while risking heightened tensions with China and complicating U.S. diplomatic balancing and civil‑society access.
Calling on the United Kingdom, France, and Germany (E3) to initiate the snapback of sanctions on Iran under United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015).
The resolution strengthens the factual and legal basis for multilateral pressure and reinstating UN sanctions on Iran—improving enforcement and oversight—but increases the risk of regional escalation, complicates diplomacy, and could lead to additional costs for U.S. taxpayers.
Affirming that Hamas cannot retain any political or military control in the Gaza Strip.
The resolution strengthens Congress's public and legal stance against Hamas—potentially aiding U.S. counterterrorism and diplomatic efforts—while risking harder regional polarization and signaling future policy moves that could carry costs for the public.
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States shall not deploy United States military assets or personnel to Gaza for purposes of "taking over" Gaza.
The resolution reduces the risk of U.S. involvement in a prolonged Gaza conflict and affirms Palestinian self-determination, but it limits executive military flexibility and may complicate diplomacy and intensify domestic polarization.
Declaring racism a public health crisis.
The resolution brings important federal attention and better data focus to racial and intersectional health disparities, but it offers no funding or mandates and may burden health agencies and provoke political backlash, limiting near-term impact.
Designating March 12, 2026, as "Detransition Awareness Day".
The resolution increases scrutiny and documentation of youth gender-related treatments—potentially strengthening safeguards and informed consent—but risks restricting access to gender-affirming care and constraining clinicians if its selective findings drive policy.
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the law enforcement agents and other personnel of the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, who have been temporarily engaging in civil immigration enforcement operations, should be returned to their primary missions during periods of active hostility with Iran.
The resolution spotlights alleged reassignments and capability cuts that may raise terrorism and cyber risks while seeking congressional oversight that could restore capacity and accountability if action is taken.
Expressing the sense of the Senate that Ghislaine Maxwell should not be granted a Presidential pardon or any form of clemency for her crimes with Jeffrey Epstein relating to the sexual exploitation and abuse of minors.
The resolution reinforces accountability and deterrence for sexual exploitation convictions—benefiting victims and law enforcement—while carrying modest risks of political controversy and potential congressional resource diversion without creating new legal remedies.
Denouncing statements by President Donald J. Trump that he may "nationalize," commandeer, or otherwise assume direct control over elections.
The resolution reaffirms state and local control of federal elections and limits presidential unilateral action—potentially boosting public confidence—while offering mainly a symbolic Senate rebuke that risks political polarization and lacks enforceable protections.
Recognizing that it is the duty of the Federal Government to develop and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights to protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.
The resolution affirms congressional support for nondiscrimination and gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ people and students, but it is nonbinding and may increase legal uncertainty and political polarization around implementation.
Condemning and calling for the reversal of President Trump's decision to allow the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips to the United Arab Emirates, despite significant risks to national security and just months after the United Arab Emirates signed a secret $500,000,000 deal to buy close to a majority stake in the Trump family crypto company World Liberty Financial.
The resolution increases scrutiny of foreign purchases and AI chip transfers and may spur oversight to protect national security, but it also risks reputational damage, political polarization, and economic harm if it prompts restrictive measures or remains politicized.
Expressing the sense of the Senate in support of Operation Absolute Resolve.
The resolution strengthens U.S. justification to target Venezuelan criminal networks and reduce cocaine flows, but does so in ways that risk diplomatic escalation, economic fallout, and harsher treatment of migrants.
Commending the United States military action in Venezuela.
The resolution highlights an operation that could improve drug interdiction and legal accountability with limited immediate U.S. casualties, but it also raises significant risks of regional escalation, constitutional/oversight concerns, migration pressures, and politicization of U.S. institutions.
Expressing that any attempt by foreign entities to censor or penalize constitutionally protected speech of United States persons shall be opposed.
The bill strengthens protections for online free expression and frames social media as public forums, but does so at the risk of diplomatic friction with allies and potential increased regulatory/legal costs for platforms and those who depend on them.
Recognizing that climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasing at the same time that the government is dismantling weather monitoring and alert systems.
The resolution raises public and policymaker awareness of increased flood/storm risks and NOAA/NWS capacity shortfalls—helpful for future preparedness and funding debates—but stops short of delivering funding or workforce relief and risks politicizing budget decisions that could delay concrete solutions.
Recognizing that climate change is real.
The resolution affirms the scientific consensus that fossil fuels drive climate change—strengthening the basis for federal climate action—while creating political and legal cover that could lead to new costs, taxes, or narrower policy consideration for fossil-fuel–friendly options.
Recognizing that climate change is not a hoax, but sound science.
The resolution's acknowledgement of human-caused climate warming could drive actions that improve public safety and local preparedness but may also lead to higher public and private costs (taxes, insurance, and energy) for Americans.
Urging the Trump Administration to seize shadow fleet vessels transporting sanctioned oil from the Russian Federation.
The resolution aims to disrupt sanction-evasion and choke off funding for terrorists and Russia's war through encouragement of vessel seizures, trading increased national-security leverage for heightened legal, economic, and diplomatic risks.
Expressing the vital importance of the Panama Canal to the United States.
The resolution strengthens U.S. focus on preserving strategic military and commercial access to the Panama Canal and increasing scrutiny of foreign investments, at the cost of potential higher taxpayer spending and increased diplomatic friction with Panama (including sovereignty concerns).
Condemning white supremacy, hate, and antisemitism, and efforts to give a platform to these dangerous ideologies.
The resolution increases formal recognition and federal attention to antisemitism—helping communities, policymakers, and law enforcement—while risking reputational harm to named individuals, potential chilling of speech, and increased partisan polarization.
Condemning the pardon of ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez.
The resolution exposes large-scale cocaine flows and foreign corruption to justify stronger U.S. counternarcotics and assistance efforts, but doing so risks diplomatic friction, politicization, and weakening cooperation with Honduran security partners that U.S. efforts rely on.
Condemning anti-Palestinian hatred on the anniversary of the attack in Burlington, Vermont, on November 25, 2023.
The resolution publicly affirms protections and raises awareness for communities targeted by religion or ethnicity, but it provides no new resources or enforcement and risks political polarization that could hinder practical follow-up.
Expressing the opposition of the Senate to the Chinese Communist Party's "stolen valor" historical revisionism with regard to Allied Victory in Asia, commemorating the contributions made by the Republic of China to Allied Victory, and acknowledging the postwar contributions of the Government of Japan to peace and stability in Asia.
The resolution strengthens U.S. alignment with Japan and support for Taiwan and counters PRC information practices, but as a declaratory statement it risks escalating tensions with China, narrowing diplomatic flexibility, and raising expectations for potentially costly follow-up actions.
Expressing opposition to congressional spending on earmarks.
The resolution trades reduced wasteful earmark spending and slower debt growth for less direct federal support and congressional attention for local projects, which can shift funding decisions away from communities and risk local jobs.
Honoring Wadee Alfayoumi, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy, murdered as a victim of a hate crime for his Palestinian-Muslim identity, in the State of Illinois.
The resolution affirms protection and recognition for Palestinian, Muslim, and other minority communities and memorializes a hate-crime victim to promote awareness and inclusion, but its references to international conflict and casualty figures risk political controversy and deeper domestic polarization.
Expressing support for the designation of November 20, 2025, through December 20, 2025, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month".
The resolution reframes gun violence as a public health crisis and elevates survivor recognition and leadership to expand prevention, support, and advocacy, but it may require new public spending, strain local capacity, and spur contested policy debates.
Condemning the suggestion by President Donald J. Trump that criticism of him is "illegal," reaffirming the fundamental importance of free speech, and declaring that criticism of the President is not only lawful but essential to democracy in the United States.
The resolution protects Americans' and the press's ability to criticize the executive and reinforces congressional oversight, but that protection can complicate enforcement against unlawful speech and risks appearing partisan by naming individuals and companies.
Commemorating the seventh anniversary of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and calling for accountability.
The resolution increases accountability and protections for people targeted by extraterritorial repression but risks straining U.S.-Saudi strategic cooperation and could inadvertently expose dissidents to retaliation.
Condemning any financial compensation from the Department of Justice to President Donald Trump tied to previous Federal investigations into his unlawful actions.
The resolution increases scrutiny and transparency about alleged executive misconduct and the harms of a shutdown—potentially prompting oversight—while risking erosion of public trust and increased partisan distraction before matters are legally resolved.
