Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain
29th state to join the Union on December 28, 1846
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1019 Avenue H in Fort Madison, Iowa, as the "Martin L. Graber Post Office".
This bill performs an honorary renaming of a postal facility and imposes no operational, financial, or service changes for Americans.
Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act
The bill strengthens commercialization pathways and national‑security vetting for SBIR/STTR—providing bigger awards, acquisition pathways, and better tracking—but does so in ways that concentrate resources toward later‑stage firms, increase administrative and taxpayer costs, and may exclude or obscure recourse for some innovators.
National STEM Week Act
The bill increases nationwide exposure to STEM and leverages public–private partnerships to improve career pathways and family engagement, but does so with limited dedicated funding and oversight safeguards, risking uneven access, added administrative burdens, and potential corporate influence.
Pregnant Students’ Rights Act
The bill ensures pregnant, parenting, and prospective students get yearly information and complaint guidance to access support and enforce rights, but it creates recurring administrative costs and compliance burdens for institutions and restricts the Department of Education’s ability to expand protections in the future.
Flexibility for Workers Education Act
The bill reduces employers' overtime liability by excluding certain changing/washing and voluntary training time from compensable hours — saving businesses money and reducing legal uncertainty for union contracts, but risking lower pay, pressured unpaid work, and uneven protections for nonunion workers.
Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act
The bill increases PBM and drug‑price transparency and expands association/custom plan options—giving employers, plans, patients, and regulators tools to reduce net drug spending and design benefits—while creating new compliance costs, privacy risks, weakened state oversight, and market‑stability risks that could shift costs to consumers and erode protections for some groups.
Disclosing Foreign Influence in Lobbying Act
The bill increases transparency and oversight of foreign influence by requiring more detailed disclosures, but does so at the cost of added compliance expenses and potential privacy/safety risks—especially for small firms and individuals associated with foreign principals.
Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act of 2025
The bill strengthens transparency and standardized reporting on large federal projects to improve oversight and budgeting, but imposes administrative costs and risks political pressure and reputational harms that could distort project decisions and contractor markets.
Internal Revenue Service Math and Taxpayer Help Act
The bill improves taxpayers' ability to understand, verify, and appeal IRS adjustments through clearer, itemized notices, prominent deadlines, and standardized request options, but it raises administrative costs, may increase notice volume or delays, could disadvantage mobile/electronically-reliant taxpayers, and will not take effect for a year.
Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act
The bill aims to guide reshoring and reduce regulatory barriers by producing a public, targeted Commerce study that could create actionable opportunities for manufacturers and rural communities, but it consumes federal resources and risks producing incomplete findings or encouraging protectionist or regionally uneven outcomes.
