Audemus jura nostra defendere
We dare to defend our rights
$2.50 for America’s 250th Act
The bill creates commemorative and potentially circulating $2.50 coins that can promote national commemoration and may generate revenue, but it risks taxpayer-funded costs, equipment upgrade burdens for businesses, and mostly symbolic benefits for ordinary citizens.
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, federally coordinated celebrations that foster shared civic experiences and local tourism gains, but it risks concentrating attention and costs in Washington, DC and diverting public resources from other local priorities.
ADOPT Act of 2025
The bill increases federal protections to curb exploitative, cross‑state adoption intermediaries and trafficking by steering private interstate adoptions toward licensed providers, but does so at the cost of added regulation, criminal penalties, potential chilling of lawful help and speech, and new administrative and economic burdens for families, small facilitators, and state agencies.
Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act
The bill redirects federal funds away from Planned Parenthood while asserting overall federal women's-health funding will be maintained and preserving existing abortion funding limits — a trade-off that aims to shift where services are provided but risks disrupting access for patients served by Planned Parenthood and imposes administrative, capacity, and legal challenges for replacement providers and governments.
ARMS Act
The bill speeds and finances foreign defense deliveries to bolster allied readiness and support U.S. industry, but does so at the cost of higher federal spending, potential crowding-out of U.S. procurement, increased program risk, and administrative/legal uncertainty over fund accounting.
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 expands college-credit pathways and tuition support to reduce time and cost for military-connected students and strengthen DoDEA–college partnerships, at the expense of added federal costs and implementation/credit-transfer risks that could produce uneven benefits.
Deliver for Democracy Act
The bill protects periodical customers from immediate postage hikes and pushes for measurable delivery improvements and transparency, but those protections risk straining USPS finances, raising administrative and compliance costs, and creating incentives that could lead to misleading metrics or later rate increases.
Designation of English as the Official Language of the United States Act of 2025
The bill centralizes and clarifies English as the federal default—making government communication and state/employer language policies more predictable and potentially reducing some costs—while risking substantial reductions in access, protections, and accommodations for immigrants, non‑English speakers, and people with disabilities and raising litigation and administrative burdens.
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 raises awareness and highlights child-welfare programs to potentially support adoption efforts, but it is declarative only—providing no new funding or services and risking distraction from other permanency strategies without follow-up policy action.
Expressing support for and honoring September 17, 2025, as "Constitution Day".
The resolution symbolically designates a national day to honor and promote awareness of the Constitution ahead of its 250th anniversary, but it delivers no funding or legal changes, so its benefits are largely symbolic and may not address underlying civic-education needs.
