Esse quam videri
To be, rather than to seem
Supporting Women COPS Act of 2026
Petfax Act of 2026
Closing Bankruptcy Loopholes for Child Predators Act of 2026
The bill expands survivors' access to bankruptcy remedies and strengthens transparency and accountability in abuse-related bankruptcies, but does so at the cost of greater bankruptcy complexity and expense, heightened risks to nonprofit viability, and increased privacy and reputational risks for victims and the accused.
Federal and State Food Safety Information Sharing Act of 2026
The bill strengthens local outbreak detection and gives public-health programs more stable funding, but it increases privacy and administrative risks and creates trade-offs between early evaluation-based accountability and continuity of services.
Clean Slate through Repayment Act of 2026
No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act
The bill prevents taxpayer-funded refunds or compensation to individuals prosecuted for Jan. 6 and redirects those funds to Capitol repairs/security—protecting public funds and deterrence but limiting legal remedies for prosecuted/pardoned people, risking litigation, and reallocating money without a conventional appropriation process.
End Prison Gerrymandering Act
The bill improves representational fairness by counting incarcerated people at their home addresses—benefiting communities and the accuracy of redistricting—but shifts political power and population-based funding away from prison-hosting jurisdictions and requires administrative transition costs.
Buy Now, Pay Later Protection Act of 2025
The bill extends meaningful consumer protections and CFPB oversight to BNPL products, improving transparency and remedies for users, but it imposes compliance costs and a tight rulemaking timeline that could raise prices, reduce favorable BNPL offerings, and shrink market choice.
Shadow Docket Sunlight Act of 2025
The bill increases transparency and congressional oversight of emergency Supreme Court orders—giving litigants and the public clearer explanations and accountability—while raising risks of slower emergency action, added administrative costs, more litigation over reasoning, and possible politicization of justices.
