Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2026
The bill preserves emergency port access and allows owner-authorized commercial transit to reduce immediate harm and supply disruptions, while granting presidential authority to restrict use of certain foreign ports — a trade-off that could protect safety and continuity but also risks higher costs, diplomatic friction, and regulatory uncertainty for U.S. businesses and port users.
Fighting Foreign Illegal Seafood Harvests Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. tools, data, and international cooperation to reduce illegal fishing and forced labor—bolstering fisheries sustainability and supply‑chain integrity—but does so at the cost of higher enforcement and diplomatic risks, greater compliance burdens for seafood businesses, and increased federal spending.
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. leverage, transparency, and humanitarian engagement to pressure Myanmar’s junta and support victims, while imposing fiscal and administrative costs, raising risks of diplomatic friction and potential escalation that could complicate aid and economic ties.
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026
This bill combines substantial new funding priorities for defense, foreign assistance, health, and infrastructure with broad transparency and accountability measures — but does so while imposing many reporting requirements, limits on agency flexibility, rescissions, and compliance costs that raise spending pressures, could slow rapid responses, and shift burdens onto agencies, providers, and recipients.
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 increases transparency and funds a wide array of national-security, foreign‑aid, and global‑health programs while imposing large mandated spending floors and many procedural limits that raise taxpayer costs, add administrative burdens, and reduce agency and diplomatic flexibility.
Breaking the Gridlock Act
The bill advances consumer privacy protections, oversight, and targeted supports (notably for veterans and local fire response) and strengthens some procurement and foreign‑policy efforts, but does so while adding new reporting and administrative requirements and exposing taxpayers to increased, often open‑ended federal spending and compliance costs.
Save Our Seas 2.0 Amendments Act
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill substantially strengthens U.S. military, industrial, and security capabilities and expands supports for service members and communities — but does so at the cost of large new spending, heavier administrative and compliance burdens, constrained operational flexibility in some cases, and notable privacy, environmental, and civil‑liberties trade‑offs.
Commemorating 30 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam on July 11, 2025.
The resolution strengthens U.S.-Vietnam ties—boosting security cooperation, trade, education, and recognition of immigrant communities—while requiring continued taxpayer support and potentially reducing leverage on human-rights issues and creating economic competition for some U.S. workers.
Disclosing Foreign Influence in Lobbying Act
The bill increases transparency and oversight of foreign influence by requiring more detailed disclosures, but does so at the cost of added compliance expenses and potential privacy/safety risks—especially for small firms and individuals associated with foreign principals.
Scam Compound Accountability and Mobilization Act
The bill strengthens U.S. tools, coordination, and victim support to disrupt offshore scam compounds and recover funds, but does so at the cost of heightened diplomatic friction, privacy and due‑process risks, increased public and private-sector costs, and uncertainty from time-limited authorities.
PROTECT Our Kids Act
This bill aims to reduce potential foreign (PRC) influence in K–12 education and provides transition guidance, but does so by cutting ties to certain programs in ways that may remove funding, impose disclosure requirements, and create compliance uncertainty for schools and communities.
Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act
The bill increases consistency and congressional oversight of U.S. Taiwan policy through regularized guidance and explanatory reports, at the cost of added administrative burden and potential national-security and diplomatic risks from formalized, regularly reported guidance.
No New Burma Funds Act
The bill forces U.S. World Bank votes to sustain pressure on Burma's military junta to protect human rights and retain leverage, but that stance may slow development aid to civilians and limit U.S. diplomatic flexibility in multilateral forums.
No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act of 2025
Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2025
The bill centralizes and speeds federal approvals for LNG and gas terminals—encouraging exports and clearer permitting—while reducing some environmental scrutiny and creating potential national-security, sanctions, and investment uncertainties.
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.
Combatting International Drug Trafficking and Human Smuggling Partnership Act of 2025
The bill expands CBP's ability to operate and provide humanitarian assistance abroad and to compensate some foreign victims, aiming to strengthen regional security, but it exposes U.S. personnel and taxpayers to legal, financial, and continuity risks while limiting long-term remedy access for some claimants.
Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026
This bill secures funding continuity and expands targeted services (notably for veterans, health care access, and rural programs) for early FY2026 while trading off higher federal outlays, weakened budget enforcement and oversight, program rescissions, and added constraints and administrative burdens on agencies.
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill makes large, coordinated investments to strengthen military readiness, the defense industrial base, cyber/AI defenses, and housing/disaster resilience while expanding oversight and support for service members — but it substantially increases federal spending, administrative burdens, restrictions on research and certain rights, and conditions that could delay operations or concentrate executive authority.
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.
This resolution strengthens and documents U.S. condemnation of religious persecution in China—giving policymakers moral and evidentiary grounds to press for sanctions or aid—while risking increased diplomatic and economic friction with China and raising expectations without creating binding obligations.
Foreign Adversary Communications Transparency Act
The bill increases transparency about foreign ties in the broadband and communications sector to reduce national-security risks and improve procurement decisions, but it may raise costs, harm some companies' reputations, and weaken paperwork/privacy oversight with downstream effects on prices and competition for consumers.
Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act of 2025
The bill aims to disrupt fentanyl supply chains and increase oversight and legal certainty for trade, but it does so at the cost of reduced rapid‑response flexibility, potential economic and supply‑chain harms, and risks of overbroad sanctions that could hurt lawful actors.
PARTNER Act
The bill makes it easier and faster for the U.S. to extend standard privileges and immunities to international organizations—facilitating diplomacy and scientific cooperation—while concentrating discretion in the Executive and reducing legal remedies, transparency, and potential fiscal protections for American taxpayers.
Made-in-America Defense Act
The bill aims to speed and expand commercial sales of certain defense items—potentially improving allied readiness and U.S. industry competitiveness—while increasing export‑control, oversight, and procurement‑cost risks if safeguards, reporting, and review rigor are not maintained.
Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2025
The bill gives U.S. authorities faster, more targeted tools and clearer oversight to disrupt Haitian criminal networks and protect aid and trade, but it also raises significant risks to immigrants' due process, diplomatic cooperation, business compliance and legal exposure, and creates short-term uncertainty due to a five-year sunset.
Uyghur Policy Act of 2025
