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.
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.
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.
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.
Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026
The bill directs substantial new investments and program expansions to support farmers, specialty crops, rural infrastructure, conservation, and nutrition, accelerating technology adoption and resilience but doing so with large new budget commitments, added administrative complexity, potential inequities favoring larger or better‑resourced actors, and some rollbacks of environmental and regulatory safeguards.
Digital Asset Market Clarity Act
This bill aims to create a comprehensive federal framework that promotes clearer classifications, custody protections, and pathways for legitimate digital‑asset activity to expand market participation and safety, but it does so by imposing substantial compliance costs, carving out jurisdictional limits that risk oversight gaps, and creating tradeoffs that could reduce some investor protections and push activities offshore.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Save Our Seas 2.0 Amendments Act
The bill reorganizes and clarifies marine debris authorities, governance, and partnership tools—improving administrative clarity, partnership flexibility, and tribal outreach—at the cost of concentrating some decision‑making, creating short‑term administrative and legal ambiguity, and altering funding dynamics (including reduced spending transparency and potential diversion of limited funds) without committing significant new appropriations.
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.
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.
Tren de Aragua Border Security Threat Assessment Act
The bill improves coordination, transparency, and situational awareness about Tren de Aragua for governments, communities, and Congress, but does so at the risk of diverting DHS resources, exposing operational details if not carefully redacted, and pulling focus away from other border threats.
Fire Ready Nation Act of 2025
The bill would substantially strengthen wildfire forecasting, data sharing, and responder capacity — improving safety and planning for many communities — at the cost of significant federal spending, expanded data‑sharing (and related privacy/cybersecurity risks), and added administrative burden that could slow near‑term deployments and alter local authority.
PARTNER Act
The bill makes it easier for U.S. diplomats, agencies, and researchers to work with several international organizations by granting immunities and clarifying legal status—speeding cooperation and program delivery—but does so at the cost of reduced legal accountability, broader executive discretion, and potential fiscal and administrative exposure for Americans.
Uyghur Policy Act of 2025
Undersea Cable Control Act
The bill tightens protections and oversight for undersea cable supply chains and increases transparency to bolster national security, while imposing compliance and export constraints that could raise costs, complicate procurement, and delay projects.
China Financial Threat Mitigation Act of 2025
The bill improves U.S. understanding of and oversight over financial exposure to China and promotes international coordination—helping markets and policymakers—but risks short‑term market disruption, consumes agency resources, and may keep the most sensitive findings classified from the public.
Recognizing the importance of trademarks in the economy and the role of trademarks in protecting consumer safety, by designating the month of July as "National Anti-Counterfeiting and Consumer Education and Awareness Month".
The resolution raises public awareness and encourages coordination to combat counterfeiting—helpful for consumer safety and brand protection—but is non‑binding, may shift costs onto businesses or taxpayers, and could risk diplomatic friction without providing enforcement authority or funding.
Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025
The bill aims to strengthen domestic supply‑chain resilience, manufacturing capacity, and coordination through federal planning, definitions, and roadmaps, but it raises costs for taxpayers and businesses, creates privacy and trade tensions, and faces funding and implementation uncertainty (including a 10‑year sunset and a prohibition on new spending) that may limit its practical impact.
Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act of 2025
The bill seeks to strengthen financial stability and integrate Taiwan more fully into IMF-related processes—potentially benefiting markets and U.S. economic interests—but does so at the risk of heightened geopolitical friction with China and some constraints on U.S. diplomatic flexibility.
ANCHOR Act
The bill modernizes shipboard telecommunications and cybersecurity to improve research capability and data protection, but risks higher operating costs, added burdens for university operators, and uneven implementation or centralized vulnerabilities unless funding and management are carefully handled.
American Music Tourism Act of 2025
The bill aims to boost local economies and make U.S. music attractions easier to find for travelers, but it could increase taxpayer costs, concentrate benefits in established hubs, raise local prices, and strain sensitive local environments.
South Pacific Tuna Treaty Act of 2025
The bill centralizes clearer enforcement and administrative flexibility to improve fisheries management and safety, but it does so by expanding agency discretion and confidentiality while increasing compliance burdens and creating legal uncertainty for some landowners and fishery participants.
MEGOBARI Act
The bill boosts U.S. leverage to promote Georgia's Euro‑Atlantic integration, democratic reforms, and targeted accountability while improving intelligence and oversight, but it risks reducing bilateral cooperation, harming Georgian economic actors and civilians, straining U.S. resources, and escalating tensions with Russia unless implemented carefully.
Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025
The bill centralizes efforts and definitions to strengthen U.S. supply‑chain resilience and support domestic manufacturing—potentially improving access to critical goods and jobs—but does so at the risk of higher costs, budgetary and administrative burdens, privacy and trade tensions, and program uncertainty from limited funding and a 10‑year sunset.
