Audemus jura nostra defendere
We dare to defend our rights
ZOMBIE Act
The bill tightens and improves detection and transparency for federal payments that cause financial loss, but narrows reporting scope, reduces reporting frequency, and increases administrative burden and costs that could be borne by taxpayers.
Settlement Agreement Information Database Act of 2026
The bill increases public and oversight transparency of large federal settlements through standardized, searchable disclosures, at the cost of additional agency implementation expenses, potential legal disputes over redactions and retroactive releases, and reputational risks for settling parties.
Air Permitting Improvements to Protect National Security Act of 2025
The bill expedites construction and expansion of semiconductor and critical-mineral facilities (supporting national-security and economic goals) by allowing presidential waivers and fee-based compliance, at the cost of greater localized pollution risk, potential cost increases for consumers, and centralized waiver authority that could weaken environmental safeguards.
Citizen Ballot Protection Act
The bill centralizes authority for the federal mail voter registration form with the EAC to increase clarity and consistency for election officials, but that change may impose short-term administrative burdens, possible new costs for states and localities, and temporary interagency confusion.
To extend the authority to carry out the Defense Production Act of 1950.
The bill preserves DPA authorities through 2031 to maintain rapid industrial mobilization and supply-chain resilience in emergencies, at the cost of extending broad executive procurement powers that can shift commercial production, increase fiscal commitments, and postpone congressional review of the statute.
SAMS Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. control of critical-mineral supply chains and supports domestic jobs and predictable policy for industry, but it raises risks of higher costs and trade friction, local environmental harm, and reduced legislative oversight.
ALERT Act
The bill increases transparency and predictability of federal rulemaking by requiring regular publication of rule information and historic analyses, but it imposes recurring administrative burdens and compliance risks—especially for smaller agencies—which could divert resources and raise litigation exposure.
Retirement Freedom Act
The bill increases individual choice by allowing Medicare-eligible people to opt out of Part A and re-enroll without penalty while protecting some financial rights, but it raises the risk of large out-of-pocket costs, coverage gaps, and new administrative burdens.
Lulu’s Law
The bill would provide a federal channel to warn people about shark attacks and improve local response coordination, but it raises the risk of alert fatigue, potential economic harm to coastal areas from broad alerts, and modest administrative costs for governments.
