Audemus jura nostra defendere
We dare to defend our rights
$2.50 for America’s 250th Act
The bill creates a new $2.50 Semiquincentennial commemorative coin that can generate collector interest and potential revenue and may streamline some cash transactions, but it also risks administrative and production costs (and equipment upgrade burdens) that could fall on taxpayers and businesses if sales or adoption don't cover expenses.
Requesting the Secretary of the Interior to authorize unique and one-time arrangements for displays on the National Mall and the Washington Monument during the period beginning on December 31, 2025, and ending on January 5, 2026.
The bill promotes nationwide 250th anniversary celebrations that can boost tourism and create shared civic experiences through federal coordination, but it risks concentrating attention and costs in Washington, DC and imposing public spending and infrastructure strains that may divert resources from other local priorities.
ADOPT Act of 2025
The bill strengthens federal protections and deterrence against exploitative interstate and online adoption intermediaries—improving safety for children and families—while increasing regulation that may slow or raise the cost of private placements, impose burdens on states and small providers, and create legal uncertainty for informal facilitators.
Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act
The bill redirects federal women's-health dollars away from Planned Parenthood to other eligible providers to preserve overall federal funding levels and public-health capacity, at the trade-off of risking disrupted access and increased costs for patients who rely on Planned Parenthood and imposing administrative and legal challenges during the transition.
ARMS Act
The bill speeds and prioritizes delivery to allies and supports the defense industrial base, improving coalition readiness and industry stability, but does so at the risk of higher federal costs, potential diversion of resources from U.S. procurement/readiness, programmatic cost and oversight risks, and possible legal/administrative uncertainty.
To authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into arrangements with institutions of higher education to provide dual or concurrent enrollment programs for students enrolled in schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity, and for other purposes.
The bill helps military-connected students get a head start on college and cuts their direct costs through credits and financial support, but it increases federal spending and creates risks of administrative strain and credit-transfer problems that could limit access or value for some students.
Deliver for Democracy Act
The bill strengthens protections for periodical subscribers and forces greater transparency and measurement of newspaper delivery, but does so at the risk of added costs, measurement gaming, and potential financial strain on USPS that could lead to service cuts or higher long‑term costs for publishers and customers.
Designation of English as the Official Language of the United States Act of 2025
The bill makes English usage and a uniform naturalization English test more legally and administratively central—simplifying government communication and some costs—but does so at the expense of reduced access and accommodations for non-English speakers, increased barriers to citizenship for some applicants, and substantial legal and implementation risks.
Expressing support for the goals of National Adoption Day and National Adoption Month by promoting national awareness of adoption and the children awaiting families, celebrating children and families involved in adoption, and encouraging the people of the United States to secure safety, permanency, and well-being for all children.
The resolution increases visibility for adoption and child-welfare programs, but it is symbolic—offering no new funding or mandates and risking a narrower focus on adoption over other permanency supports.
Expressing support for and honoring September 17, 2025, as "Constitution Day".
Designates a national day to honor and promote the Constitution and boost civic awareness before the 250th anniversary, but is purely symbolic and provides no funding or policy changes to strengthen civic education.
