Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
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.
Stop Illegal Fishing Act
The bill strengthens U.S. tools (sanctions, asset blocks, and reporting) to deter illegal and forced-labor-linked fishing—aiming to protect fish stocks, maritime industries, and workers—but it raises meaningful economic, administrative, supply-chain, and diplomatic risks if enforcement is broad, costly, or misapplied.
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.
Tehran Incitement to Violence Act
The bill strengthens congressional oversight and creates regular reporting that could help identify and sanction alleged Iran-linked actors, but it does so by publicly naming alleged actors and imposing ongoing reporting that risks diplomatic backlash, misinformation, reputational/legal impacts, and added administrative costs.
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.
Setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.
The resolution increases multi-year budget predictability and speeds some budget processes (helping defense, certain agencies, and reconciliation-driven priorities) but does so by locking in ceilings and concentrating procedural power in ways that reduce flexibility, oversight, and could constrain investments or rights protections.
Save Our Shrimpers Act
The bill prevents U.S. IFI funds from supporting foreign shrimp aquaculture and adds GAO reporting to increase transparency, trading narrowed overseas funding for shrimp-related projects and greater oversight against possible economic ripple effects, reduced U.S. leverage at IFIs, and higher administrative costs.
Protecting Americans from Russian Litigation Act of 2025
The bill prioritizes protecting U.S. persons and national‑security‑driven sanctions compliance from foreign judgment enforcement and liability, at the cost of reducing foreign parties' judicial remedies, increasing diplomatic friction and reciprocal risk, and creating new legal uncertainty for cross‑border commerce.
Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025
The bill makes it substantially easier for victims of Nazi‑looted art to recover property by removing time and jurisdictional barriers, while increasing litigation exposure, creating retroactive relitigation risk, and adding burdens on courts and defendants.
Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2026
The bill strengthens U.S. protections against foreign expropriation and creates owner-authorized transit and remediation rules, but does so at the risk of supply-chain disruption, diplomatic friction, and added compliance costs for operators.
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.
Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025
The bill seeks to attract and channel 'trusted' foreign investment and tighten screening to protect technology and supply chains, but does so by expanding Commerce's authority in ways that could limit investment from some countries, raise costs, and create regulatory uncertainty for firms.
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.
Critical Mineral Dominance Act
The bill prioritizes faster domestic critical-mineral production, data, and permitting to boost jobs and supply-chain resilience, but it does so in ways that increase local environmental and health risks, reduce community input, and raise potential taxpayer liabilities.
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.
AGOA Extension Act
The bill extends duty‑free treatment for eligible African apparel and preserves customs fee authority to maintain trade continuity and CBP funding, at the cost of reduced tariff revenue, continued fees for importers/consumers, administrative burdens, and limits on some future beneficiary eligibility.
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.
PERMIT Act
The bill trades broader federal water-quality oversight and more stringent, flexible environmental review for faster permitting, lower compliance costs, and greater state and project‑proponent certainty — benefiting developers and some regulated entities while increasing pollution, legal limits on challenges, and potential costs and risks for downstream communities and taxpayers.
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.
