Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027
The bill funds broad improvements to military readiness, health care, industrial base resilience, and technology adoption—but does so at the cost of higher federal spending, increased administrative and reporting burdens, privacy and oversight risks, and potential supply‑chain and competition tradeoffs.
Block the Use of Transatlantic Technology in Iranian Made Drones Act
The bill tightens U.S. and allied controls and outreach to block Iran's access to UAS-related technologies—lowering threats to Americans and partners—while imposing compliance costs, risking supply‑chain and civilian-technology disruption, and raising diplomatic and oversight trade-offs.
Ukraine Support Act
This bill sharply expands U.S. diplomatic, financial, military, and economic tools to support Ukraine and pressure Russia—strengthening allied security and accountability—but does so at increased fiscal cost, elevated geopolitical and economic risks, and with added administrative and political constraints on executive action.
HONOR Act
The bill removes U.S. tax advantages for payments tied to the Russian government and speeds enforcement to reinforce sanctions, but it raises tax costs for firms operating in Russia (and possibly consumers) and creates treaty/legal uncertainty for multinational taxpayers.
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill ramps up U.S. defense, maritime, and diplomatic capabilities and invests in domestic industrial resilience and service member support, but does so through large new spending, pervasive reporting mandates, procurement shifts, and authorities that raise taxpayer costs, administrative burdens, privacy risks, and some national‑security tradeoffs.
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill prioritizes a broad strengthening of U.S. defense, industrial capacity, allied partnerships, and domestic housing/disaster programs—delivering tangible benefits to service members, veterans, and vulnerable communities—while imposing substantial new spending, administrative burdens, supply‑chain/research restrictions, and civil‑liberties and environmental tradeoffs for Americans.
Economic Espionage Prevention Act
The bill strengthens tools to block sensitive technology from reaching Russia and increases congressional oversight, but does so at the cost of higher compliance burdens, diplomatic friction with the PRC, potential due-process and travel impacts, and new regulatory uncertainty for businesses.
Acknowledging the third anniversary of Russia's further invasion of Ukraine and expressing support for the people of Ukraine.
The resolution strengthens U.S. diplomatic support for Ukraine and allied deterrence, at the trade-off of raising expectations for U.S. assistance and risking heightened tensions with Russia that could impose costs on taxpayers.
Urging the Trump Administration to seize shadow fleet vessels transporting sanctioned oil from the Russian Federation.
The bill empowers U.S. authorities to seize vessels carrying sanctioned Russian oil to choke off revenues and deter evasion, at the cost of increased legal and separation-of-powers risks and the possibility of economic retaliation or higher consumer shipping and fuel costs.
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the 93rd anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, known as the "Holodomor", should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine, and that Vladimir Putin's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine once again threatens the existence of the Ukrainian people, while exacerbating the problems of global hunger.
The resolution increases U.S. diplomatic pressure and recognition of the Holodomor to protect global food supplies and honor victims, at the cost of raising the risk of geopolitical escalation, higher taxpayer-funded aid, and reduced diplomatic flexibility.
Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the European Union's actions to diversify from Russian energy sources.
The resolution strengthens U.S. and European energy security and reduces Russian war‑funding, but imposes short‑term economic and employment costs—higher prices, supply risks, and disruption for energy workers and some consumer populations—during the transition away from Russian fuels.
Urging the executive branch and leaders of the G7 and the European Union to seize sovereign assets of the Russian Federation under the jurisdiction of members of the G7 and disburse such assets to Ukraine in tranches of not less than $10,000,000,000 United States dollars per month until expended.
The resolution would convert frozen Russian sovereign assets into support for Ukraine and strengthen international accountability, but does so at the risk of legal battles, diplomatic escalation, and economic retaliation that could delay aid and impose costs on taxpayers and businesses.
Celebrating the June 2025 North Atlantic Treaty Organization Summit in the Hague, the Netherlands, and reaffirming priorities pertaining to transatlantic security and our commitment to NATO.
The resolution strengthens NATO coordination, deterrence, and protection of critical infrastructure—bolstering regional and allied security—but does so at the cost of higher defense spending, potential escalation risks, possible tradeoffs with domestic programs, and increased civil liberties concerns.
Condemning Russia's devastating aerial bombardment on the people of Ukraine, particularly the use of increasingly advanced ballistic missiles, and expressing support for securing more air defense systems.
The resolution aims to protect Ukrainians and enable targeted action by documenting transfers and supporting stronger air defenses, but it also raises risks of increased U.S. defense spending, escalation with Russia, and diplomatic complications.
Honoring the service and memory of Army Staff Sgt. Jose Duenez Jr., Army Staff Sgt. Edvin F. Franco, Army Staff Sgt. Troy S. Knutson-Collins, and Army Pfc. Dante D. Taitano of the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, who died during a recovery mission in support of a regularly scheduled training exercise while serving in Lithuania.
The resolution publicly honors fallen service members and reassures allies while strengthening ties with Baltic and Polish partners, but it may raise public concern about regional risks and create expectations for support that it does not fund or specify.
Recognizing April 4, 2025, as the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, and reaffirming the leadership of the United States in eliminating landmines and unexploded ordnance.
The bill would reduce deaths, injuries, and displacement from landmines/UXO and support survivors and U.S. partnerships, but it requires additional taxpayer funding and risks diverting scarce humanitarian resources or offering symbolic commitments without clear delivery.
Reaffirming the fundamental principle prohibiting any state from forcibly acquiring the territory of another state.
The resolution signals and legitimizes continued U.S. political support for Ukraine and coordination with allies, at the trade-off of possible increased costs for taxpayers and a heightened risk of geopolitical tension with Russia.
Recognizing the partnership between the United States and Ukraine.
The resolution signals U.S. support for Ukraine and promotes diplomacy and economic cooperation, but it is largely symbolic and risks raising public expectations and politicizing foreign policy without creating concrete commitments.
Condemning the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and officials of the Government of the Russian Federation for committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in Ukraine.
The resolution affirms U.S. recognition of alleged war crimes in Ukraine to support accountability and strengthen international pressure, while risking increased diplomatic tensions with Russia and potential downstream economic costs if used to justify future measures.
Condemning Russia's illegal abduction of Ukrainian children.
The resolution publicly recognizes abuses against Ukrainian children and increases U.S. political pressure for accountability and assistance, but it does not itself deliver material relief and could complicate diplomacy with Russia.
Expressing the sense of the Senate that Russian President Vladimir Putin should immediately withdraw Russian forces from Ukraine.
The resolution affirms U.S. condemnation of Russia and bolsters justification for assistance to Ukraine—strengthening foreign policy and allied unity—while increasing the likelihood of further taxpayer-funded spending and potential economic spillovers from prolonged tensions with Russia.
Supporting the goals of International Women's Day.
The resolution raises the priority of women and girls in U.S. foreign policy—potentially improving health, protection, and peace outcomes abroad—but does so mainly through findings that could increase expectations and diplomatic friction without committing funds or programs.
Condemning the rejection by the United States of a United Nations resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.
The resolution clarifies and strengthens a consistent U.S. stance that Russia's actions against Ukraine were illegal, improving policy clarity and signaling support for Ukraine, at the cost of potentially narrowing diplomatic flexibility in future negotiations.
Dissenting from the United States delegation's February 24, 2025, vote at the United Nations General Assembly.
The resolution aims to restore aligned diplomacy with allies to strengthen U.S. security and predictability at the U.N., but risks undermining credibility and creating diplomatic friction that could hinder coalition-building.
Directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Ukraine that have not been authorized by Congress.
The resolution strengthens congressional control and transparency over U.S. military involvement in Ukraine but risks reducing executive flexibility and U.S. deterrence, creating operational and diplomatic trade‑offs.
Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act and reaffirming the United States' commitment to its principles and values.
The resolution strengthens U.S. normative and diplomatic pressure against abuses and occupations in Europe and Eurasia and condemns regional anti‑Semitism, but because it is nonbinding it risks raising tensions with Russia and narrowing diplomatic flexibility without delivering concrete resources or remedies.
Stop Russian Market Manipulation Act
The bill reduces U.S. reliance on and financial flows to Russia from key metal imports—strengthening U.S. strategic leverage—but will raise costs and supply-chain burdens for American manufacturers, consumers, and firms while creating some regulatory and compliance uncertainty.
Protecting Our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act
The bill gives paroled Ukrainians clear, time-limited legal status and work authorization and reduces interpretive ambiguity by tying terms to the INA, but it leaves protections temporary, can exclude some people, creates procedural and litigation risks from importing INA definitions, and does not provide a path to permanent status.
Independent and Objective Oversight of Ukrainian Assistance Act
The bill substantially increases independent oversight, reporting, and accountability for U.S. aid to Ukraine—improving the chance to detect and recover waste and fraud—but does so at the cost of higher taxpayer-funded administrative spending, potential delays to aid delivery, and some security and diplomatic disclosure risks.
Inspector General for Ukraine Act
Creates a temporary independent oversight office to increase transparency, accountability, and potential recovery of misspent U.S. assistance to Ukraine, but does so at a modest budgetary cost that reduces other aid, adds administrative burdens, may risk sensitive disclosures, and sunsets after five years.
