Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
TRIA Program Reauthorization Act of 2026
The bill increases clarity, predictability, and fiscal protection for the terrorism-insurance program—benefiting insurers, regulators, and taxpayers—but tightens timing and threshold rules that can deny coverage, spur litigation, and risk state–federal regulatory uncertainty.
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 U.S. and allied enforcement options and clarifies timelines to address Iran's nuclear activities, but doing so risks regional escalation, economic costs, and a compressed policymaking timeline ahead of the Oct 2025 UNSCR 2231 expiration.
Designating October 26, 2025, as the "Day of the Deployed".
The bill establishes an annual, no-cost 'Day of the Deployed' to publicly recognize deployed service members and their families, but it is purely symbolic and does not provide funding or new benefits, risking raised expectations without concrete assistance.
Directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Syria that have not been authorized by Congress.
The resolution shifts control over U.S. military activity in Syria from the executive to Congress — strengthening legislative oversight and forcing withdrawal absent authorization, but risking abrupt drawdowns that could endanger personnel, partners, and near-term security.
Accountability for Endless Wars Act of 2025
The bill shifts power toward regular congressional oversight and limits indefinite war authorizations, at the trade-off of creating potential operational uncertainty for deployed forces and forcing frequent, politically charged renewal votes that could slow rapid responses.
Justice for 9/11 Act
The bill prioritizes national-security goals and accountability by enabling military trials, the death penalty, and centralized Guantánamo detention for named 9/11 detainees, while trading off significant civil‑liberties concerns, restricted mental‑health oversight, potential legal complexity, and added fiscal/logistical burdens.
Amend the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to provide rules for payments to Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors.
The bill restores withheld compensation and clarifies eligibility for a court-identified class of victims, delivering immediate financial relief and administrative clarity for them, while raising costs to the victims fund, imposing retroactive reprocessing burdens, and creating potential fairness and legal concerns for other claimants.
No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act
The bill increases transparency and creates tools to identify and disrupt Taliban funding and improve oversight of Afghan assets, but those same disclosures and reporting burdens risk endangering aid workers, delaying or reducing humanitarian assistance, revealing sensitive operational details, and straining diplomatic relationships.
No American Left Behind Act
The bill requires a DoD review that could strengthen hostage-recovery doctrine, interagency coordination, and congressional oversight and give families clearer accounting, but it will impose administrative costs, create tension between transparency and operational security, and could increase risks to service members if recommendations lead to expanded operations without added resources or mitigations.
Taxpayer Protection and Somalia Accountability Act of 2026
The bill strengthens oversight, deterrence, and enforcement to prevent diversion of U.S. assistance to corrupt actors or terrorists, but does so at the cost of disrupting remittances and some humanitarian aid, increasing administrative burdens, and risking diplomatic friction.
Preventing the Recognition of Terrorist States Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. tools to punish and financially isolate the Taliban and gives agencies clearer legal authority, but does so at the cost of reduced diplomatic flexibility and greater legal/compliance hurdles that may hinder humanitarian aid and raise costs for governments, NGOs, and private actors.
Sunset for the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Act
The bill strengthens congressional control and limits broad executive use of the 2001 AUMF—enhancing democratic oversight and reducing open‑ended military commitments—but it risks near‑term legal, planning, and operational uncertainty and could hamper rapid responses unless Congress provides a clear replacement authorization.
Supporting Our Surviving Spouses Act
The bill removes filing deadlines so survivors of service members killed on/after Sept. 11, 2001 can claim benefits at any time—expanding access and financial relief for families—but it raises federal costs, administrative burden, and verification challenges and may still leave some eligible survivors unaware of the change.
K2 Veterans Total Coverage Act of 2025
The bill makes it substantially easier and faster for veterans who served at Karshi Khanabad AB to obtain VA benefits for certain cancers and diseases—reducing costs and paperwork for affected veterans—while increasing VA costs and risking strains on VA capacity and service prioritization unless additional resources are provided.
Justice for 9/11 Act
The bill strengthens victims' accountability and preserves maximum sentencing and offshore detention for September 11 defendants, but does so at the cost of significant civil‑liberties, oversight, health-care, and fiscal risks.
To prohibit the issuance of licenses for the exportation of certain defense articles to the United Arab Emirates, and for other purposes.
The bill trades stronger U.S. leverage and a reduced risk that U.S. weapons fuel conflict or abuses in Sudan for economic losses to the defense sector, potential strain on U.S.–UAE security cooperation, and some additional taxpayer costs.
Mali Security Partnership and Counterterrorism Act
The bill improves U.S. understanding and coordinated responses to al‑Qaeda in Mali—enabling targeted counter‑terrorism, diplomacy, and development measures—but risks higher U.S. costs, harm to local Malian economies, diplomatic strain, and operational exposure if timing, disclosures, or sanctions are mishandled.
Calling on the United Nations Security Council to enforce the existing arms embargo on Darfur and extend it to cover all of Sudan.
The resolution aims to document atrocities, tighten arms restrictions, and mobilize humanitarian aid to protect and assist Sudanese civilians, at the trade-off of potential diplomatic strain, risk of regional escalation, and increased costs to U.S. taxpayers.
Honoring the service and sacrifice of United States Army Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard and United States Army Sergeant Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar, who were killed in action in Palmyra, Syria, in a targeted assault against United States service members on December 13, 2025.
The resolution gives formal congressional recognition to fallen Iowa National Guard members and their families—providing symbolic honor and morale support—while being purely ceremonial and producing no substantive policy or financial changes.
Supporting the designation of "Operation Enduring Freedom Day" to honor the service, sacrifice, and courage of the men and women who served in Operation Enduring Freedom, their families, and those who lost their lives or were wounded in the conflict.
The bill creates a symbolic annual commemoration honoring Operation Enduring Freedom and its families, trading meaningful policy changes or material support for a public recognition that raises awareness but does not address veterans' concrete needs.
Acknowledging that in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, individuals experienced hate and were targeted by the government on account of their faith, race, national origin and immigration status, and suggesting various forms of relief to support those affected.
The bill formally acknowledges and documents harms to specific communities and survivors—strengthening grounds for civil-rights, public-health, and community-support measures—while risking political backlash, complications for current security programs, erosion of institutional trust, and potential financial liabilities for government.
Recognizing that members and affiliates of Tren de Aragua are alien enemies perpetrating an invasion of the United States and affirming that the President is exercising his constitutional authority to repel that invasion.
The resolution strengthens tools to confront transnational violent groups on U.S. soil, improving operational clarity and potentially local security, but does so at the cost of increased risks to immigrant civil liberties, expanded executive authority, and potential diplomatic fallout.
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the current design concept for the National Global War on Terrorism Memorial fails to adequately honor the profound sacrifice of members of the United States Armed Forces, and demanding a redesigned monument that clearly and unmistakably honors the valor, combat reality, and distinct sacrifice of post-9/11 veterans.
The bill ensures a permanent, explicitly representational National Mall memorial to honor post-9/11 service and support families, but does so by narrowing design choices—creating risks of delays, legal challenges, and alienation of those who prefer less martial or more artistic approaches.
Condemning attacks on civilians in Sudan and calling for an end to external support to the warring parties and for efforts to promote a negotiated settlement of the war.
The resolution increases U.S. moral and diplomatic leverage to expand aid, protect targeted groups, and push for civilian governance in Sudan, but it raises risks of larger refugee burdens, diplomatic friction, and potential costs to U.S. taxpayers.
Recognizing the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, honoring the memory of the victims, recognizing the courage and sacrifice of the heroes who answered the call to serve, acknowledging the charitable organizations that continue to support survivors and victims' families, and reaffirming the enduring commitment of the United States to defend freedom and never forget.
The resolution formally honors victims, first responders, and supporting organizations and urges teaching 9/11's lessons, but it is purely commemorative and makes no policy or funding changes.
