Count the Crimes to Cut Act
The bill substantially increases transparency and legal clarity about federal criminal and regulatory offenses—helping citizens, lawyers, and regulated businesses and enabling oversight—while imposing unfunded, time-sensitive reporting burdens on DOJ and agencies that may produce incomplete or uneven data and invite political scrutiny.
SAVE Act
The bill aims to standardize and speed election-registration practices—strengthening document-based verification, guidance, and faster form updates to improve accuracy and timely registration—at the cost of added administrative burdens, privacy risks, reduced federal oversight, and a real risk that eligible people without specified documents could be excluded or wrongly removed from the rolls.
Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act

Veterans Access to Direct Primary Care Act
The bill expands veterans' access to local primary care with predictable VHSA funding and tests DPC models, but risks fragmented care for those with complex needs, shifts VA resources, and adds administrative burdens.
Stop the SPLC Act of 2026
The bill removes SPLC's tax-exempt status—clarifying IRS treatment and producing modest revenue—while risking a harmful precedent, reduced charitable giving, and diminished services for communities the organization serves.
Statutory Term Limits on Congressional Pay and Power Act
The bill trades modest federal payroll savings and clearer procedural rules plus increased leadership turnover and opportunities for newer representatives against the risk of losing experienced institutional leadership and potentially reducing legislative effectiveness, with only limited budgetary benefit.
