Audemus jura nostra defendere
We dare to defend our rights
Directing the Secretary of the Senate to make a correction in the enrollment of the bill S. 1071.
Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution and Delivery and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill aims to strengthen U.S. military readiness, domestic industrial capacity, and service member supports through sweeping investments and new authorities—but does so at the cost of substantial new federal spending, added bureaucracy, tighter restrictions on research and rights in some areas, and risks of procurement or operational tradeoffs and local disruptions.
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027
___ Act of 2025
The bill increases congressional transparency and control over major executive and regulatory actions and improves fiscal visibility, but does so at the cost of slower executive responsiveness, greater administrative burdens, and increased politicization and regulatory uncertainty.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exclude from gross income the earnings from certain overseas deployments of members of the Armed Forces.
The bill raises take‑home pay and reduces tax uncertainty for many service members who served overseas, at the cost of lower federal tax revenue and added complexity/unevenness in eligibility for certain stationed personnel.
Poarch Band of Creek Indians Parity Act
The bill finalizes and protects Poarch Band trust land status—strengthening tribal governance and reducing federal uncertainty—while shifting tax, regulatory, and legal authority away from state/local jurisdictions and limiting some third-party challenges.
To modify the boundaries of the Talladega National Forest, and for other purposes.
The bill expands and protects public forest lands and recreation under federal management while trading off some private land-use flexibility and imposing potential costs to local revenue streams and taxpayers.
To provide a per diem allowance for Members of Congress for the costs of lodging, meals, and incidental expenses incurred because of travel to and from the Washington Metropolitan Area in order to cast votes in Congress, and for other purposes.
The bill reduces out-of-pocket travel costs and simplifies compensation for Members traveling to vote by expanding standardized per diems and preserving tax treatment, but does so at increased taxpayer expense and with potential administrative and fairness concerns.
To allow States to elect to observe year-round daylight saving time, and for other purposes.
The bill gives states flexibility to choose year‑round time for clearer local rules, but that flexibility can create cross‑border confusion and added coordination costs for workers and interstate services when neighboring states pick different policies.
To amend section 3001 of title 39, United States Code, to require solicitations sent in the mail to be clearly identified as solicitations, and for other purposes.
The bill would make solicitation mail clearer and reduce deceptive mailings for recipients, but it imposes compliance costs on mailers, creates enforcement burdens for the Postal Service, and risks inadvertently restricting legitimate communications.
