Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Allied Defense Sales Act
The bill aims to strengthen allied interoperability and expand U.S. defense exports with added reporting, but does so at the risk of higher taxpayer costs, greater proliferation and oversight risks, and potential inequities among partner nations.
Countering China’s Control of the Caucasus Act
The bill improves intelligence, strategy, and oversight to better target U.S. engagement in Georgia, but that increased focus can raise costs, risk diplomatic strain, and impose short-term burdens on agency resources.
Developing Overseas Mineral Investments and New Allied Networks for Critical Energies Act
The bill aims to strengthen U.S. and allied critical-mineral and energy security and spur private investment through new coordination, financing tools, and diplomatic capacity, but it increases federal spending, concentrates decision-making authority, and carries environmental, trade-retaliation, and commercial-confidentiality risks that may raise costs for taxpayers, businesses, and local communities.
PEACE Act
The bill increases diplomatic focus and congressional oversight on antisemitism and related terrorism in Europe, but imposes unfunded workloads on the State Department and includes non‑binding elements that may limit concrete results.
PROFIT Act of 2026
The bill centralizes and professionalizes U.S. commercial and economic statecraft to boost exports, supply-chain resilience, and sanction effectiveness, but it raises taxpayer costs and creates risks of politicization, geopolitical exposure for firms, and environmental trade-offs.
US-Japan-ROK Trilateral Cooperation Act
The bill strengthens trilateral legislative and executive coordination to improve regional security, predictability, and transparency, but it raises trade‑offs around potential fiscal costs, risks of military entanglement, civil‑liberties impacts from counter‑disinformation measures, and politicization or influence concerns.
Block the Use of Transatlantic Technology in Iranian Made Drones Act
The bill seeks to better block Iran's drone and missile supply chains and protect U.S. forces and allies through coordinated controls, sanctions, and interdiction tools, but does so at the expense of higher compliance and administrative costs, potential supply‑chain disruption, reduced transparency, and some risk of escalation.
United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2026
The bill keeps the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom operating for two more years so it can continue monitoring abuses and avoid operational disruption, at the cost of modest additional federal spending and a delay in evaluating or consolidating the Commission's functions.
Ukraine Support Act
The bill boosts long‑term U.S. support for Ukraine and allied deterrence — increasing predictability for sanctions and financing and protecting humanitarian flows — at the cost of significant taxpayer exposure, higher economic and administrative burdens, potential trade frictions, and reduced flexibility that could complicate diplomacy or raise escalation risks.
CLEAR Path Act
The bill increases transparency and enforcement to curb former officials' influence by hostile states and strengthen oversight, but it risks limiting post‑government careers, creating legal uncertainty, and slowing or politicizing timely foreign‑policy responses.
Fighting Foreign Illegal Seafood Harvests Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. detection, enforcement, and international cooperation to curb IUU fishing and forced labor—benefiting fish stocks, lawful fishers, and consumers—but does so with new spending, compliance costs, privacy and due‑process risks, and potential diplomatic and operational tradeoffs.
Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025
The bill intensifies pressure on Iran’s oil- and petrochemical-driven financing—strengthening U.S. national security and enforcement—while trading off higher economic costs for American consumers and businesses, increased compliance and legal risks, and potential diplomatic and humanitarian side‑imp
BRAVE Burma Act
The bill strengthens U.S. pressure on the Myanmar junta and increases transparency and oversight, but it raises compliance and economic risks for firms, adds administrative burdens, and risks diplomatic friction that could blunt U.S. multilateral influence.
PROTECT Taiwan Act
The bill gives U.S. regulators a tool to curb PRC influence and promote U.S.-style financial rules, but that approach risks regulatory fragmentation, diplomatic blowback, and added costs for banks and taxpayers.
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026
The bill boosts oversight, targeted defense and foreign-aid investments, and health and program transparency, but does so by locking funds into many earmarks and reporting mandates that increase administrative costs, reduce executive flexibility, raise near‑term taxpayer obligations, and constrain federal personnel and agency responsiveness.
No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act
The bill increases U.S. leverage, oversight, and protections for women and minorities by conditioning engagement and requiring reporting, but it risks disrupting humanitarian assistance, reducing diplomatic flexibility, exposing operational risks, and imposing administrative and potential fiscal costs.
Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026
The bill directs substantial, targeted funding and tightens transparency and oversight—strengthening strategic foreign and some domestic programs and taxpayer protections—while imposing many new controls, earmarks, and restrictions that increase administrative burden, reduce executive flexibility, and raise near‑term fiscal costs.
Breaking the Gridlock Act
The bill advances consumer privacy, oversight, veteran supports, emergency response fixes, and symbolic national heritage while imposing new administrative duties, regulatory and procurement burdens, and additional federal costs that shift trade‑offs between stronger protections/accountability and higher taxpayer and public‑sector implementation burdens.
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill delivers sizable boosts to defense readiness, industrial-base resilience, allied support, and service-member protections while substantially expanding reporting and control authorities—trading greater capability, transparency, and domestic industrial investment against higher costs, heavier administrative burdens, compliance friction for contractors, and new privacy and operational‑rigidity risks.
Commemorating 30 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam on July 11, 2025.
The resolution deepens U.S.–Vietnam ties—advancing veterans' remediation, trade, security, education, and immigrant inclusion—while trading off increased competition for some U.S. workers, potential taxpayer costs, and possible limits on human-rights leverage.
PORCUPINE Act
The bill speeds and streamlines U.S. defense transfers to strengthen Taiwan and improves oversight, but it increases risks of U.S.–China retaliation, possible inadvertent technology transfers, administrative strain, and creates temporary program uncertainty due to a seven‑year sunset.
Scam Compound Accountability and Mobilization Act
The bill strengthens U.S. ability to disrupt transnational scam compounds and support victims through coordinated sanctions, asset actions, reporting, and targeted foreign assistance, while imposing new taxpayer costs, administrative burdens, compliance risks for businesses, and diplomatic risks — all under a seven-year sunset that creates future uncertainty.
Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act
The bill increases clarity and congressional oversight of U.S. policy toward Taiwan by institutionalizing a named, regularly updated guidance document, at the cost of modest new administrative burdens, taxpayer expense, and some reduction in diplomatic flexibility.
No New Burma Funds Act
The bill increases pressure on Burma's military by pausing certain World Bank-related support to advance accountability, but that approach risks harming World Bank-funded development for Burmese civilians, reducing U.S. leverage in multilateral institutions, and creating diplomatic or economic costs for Americans.
Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
This bill increases regulatory clarity, pediatric and transplant-focused initiatives, and transparency that can improve access and oversight, but it does so while raising federal costs, imposing new administrative burdens, and introducing risks that could delay pediatric data, weaken enforcement incentives, and shift incentives for drug developers.
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill strengthens U.S. defense readiness, industrial capacity, veteran/family supports, housing recovery, and cybersecurity—at the cost of substantial new spending, added administrative and compliance burdens, constraints on flexibility and some civil‑liberties/privacy tradeoffs, and potential disruptions to research and international economic ties.
Expressing condemnation of the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of religious minority groups, including Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists and the detention of Pastor "Ezra" Jin Mingri and leaders of the Zion Church, and reaffirming the United States' global commitment to promote religious freedom and tolerance.
The resolution bolsters U.S. advocacy and legal backing for protecting religious freedom abroad, but doing so risks heightened tensions with China that could bring economic and consular consequences for Americans.
Honoring the strategic importance of the C5+1 diplomatic platform and recognizing the deepening partnership between the United States and the nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
The resolution strengthens U.S. influence, energy/security cooperation, and supply-chain resilience with Central Asia, but it also raises risks of taxpayer costs, potential military/ intelligence entanglement, and environmental harm tied to expanded mining and infrastructure.
Congratulating the people of North Macedonia on the 34th anniversary of their independence and celebrating the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between North Macedonia and the United States.
The resolution formally strengthens U.S.–North Macedonia ties and NATO cohesion and supports U.S. policy on Ukraine at minimal direct domestic cost, but it is largely symbolic and carries some risk of escalating tensions with Russia that could produce economic or security spillovers.
Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. tools, transparency, and targeted authorities to disrupt fentanyl supply chains while preserving ordinary goods trade, but it risks diplomatic escalation, new compliance and administrative costs, and constraints on some executive sanctions options.
