Salus populi suprema lex esto
The Welfare of the People is the Highest Law
Gateway Partnership Act
The bill allows a Foundation to hold exclusive, limited events on Park grounds while protecting public access and shifting event costs to organizers, but it also shifts some liability away from the federal government, may restrict access during reserved times, could commercialize the Park experience, and creates short-term uncertainty due to a temporary pilot structure.
To improve tornado detection, forecasting, warning dissemination, and community resilience, and for other purposes.
St. Louis Postal Accountability and Reform Act
BRIDGE Act
Extending and broadening the WOTC through 2030 increases hiring incentives for employers and improves job prospects for justice-involved individuals and opportunity youth, but it reduces federal revenue and creates added administrative complexity and short-term uncertainty for agencies and businesses.
To establish an independent statutory commission within the legislative branch responsible for ensuring oversight, transparency, and accountability over the Department of Justice operations and handling of the Epstein Files, and for other purposes.
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 8390 North Broadway in St. Louis, Missouri, as the "Chuck Stone Post Office".
The bill names a local post office for Chuck Stone and standardizes official references—providing symbolic recognition and clearer records—while imposing only minor administrative costs and brief local transition inconvenience.
Reinvest in Public Schools Act of 2026
The bill makes it easier and cheaper for local governments to fully finance school construction through tax‑exempt advance refunding bonds—potentially delivering faster school improvements—while reducing federal revenue and adding regulatory complexity that can raise costs or delay projects.
FEMA Accountability Act
The bill increases public and government transparency and accountability over FEMA disaster spending—helping officials, watchdogs, and the public track funds and stalled projects—but imposes modest administrative costs, potential redaction/delay risks, and heightened expectations for faster disbursement.
NO ICE ADs Act
This bill saves taxpayer money and limits ICE's TV public-relations spending, but risks reducing recruitment and public-safety outreach and may simply shift communication costs to other channels.
Defense Technology Hubs Act of 2026
The bill aims to speed defense technology development and create regional innovation jobs by funding DoD-centered tech hubs and tighter coordination—but does so at added federal cost and with a risk of concentrating benefits, shifting research priorities toward military uses, and increasing administrative and security oversight challenges.
