Virtue, Liberty and Independence
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 521 Thorn Street in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, as the "Mary Elizabeth 'Bettie' Cole Post Office Building".
This bill renames a post office to honor Mary Elizabeth Cole, giving local recognition and clearer federal naming at the cost of only modest administrative and signage expenses for taxpayers and USPS.
Railway Safety Act of 2025
The bill materially strengthens rail safety—reducing derailment, fire, and hazardous‑materials risks through equipment upgrades, detector requirements, training, and clearer oversight—but does so at measurable cost: it raises industry and government spending and compliance burdens that are likely to increase freight costs, strain agency rulemaking capacity, and may create operational disruptions, especially for small carriers and remote communities.
To amend title 49, United States Code, to prohibit Amtrak from including mandatory arbitration clauses in contracts of carriage, and for other purposes.
To prohibit vulture investors from investing in youth sports, and for other purposes.
To direct the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service to develop recommendations for screen time limits for children to promote healthy development and well-being, and for other purposes.
DERAIL Act
The bill increases community and responder safety and transparency by expanding which trains are treated as high‑hazard and requiring timely reporting, but it imposes compliance costs and tight deadlines that could strain carriers, regulators, and potentially raise consumer prices while creating risks from rushed implementation or sensitive information disclosure.
Assistance for Local Heroes During Train Crises Act
The bill gives local responders and communities faster, predictable funding and better operational data to handle hazardous‑train incidents, but it shifts costs onto shippers/consumers and taxpayers and raises administrative, transparency, and security risks that could strain small jurisdictions and industry.
Railroad Retirement Fairness Act
Cost-of-living Emergency Act
The bill establishes new coordination, analyses, and emergency authorities to lower household costs and stabilize supplies—offering clearer targets and faster responses for many families and producers—while raising federal administrative costs, expanding executive powers, and creating risks of politicized or short-term policy choices.
Expanding the Fast Track Act of 2026
The bill clarifies a $50 million threshold that reduces permitting uncertainty and speeds smaller projects, but it may weaken environmental review for projects just below that cutoff and impose transitional administrative costs.
