To direct the Attorney General to establish an official station for the United States attorney for the Western District of Washington in the county of Clark, Washington, and for other purposes.

Expanding Childcare in Rural America Act of 2025
The bill directs federal resources to expand childcare and early-education access in farming-dependent rural communities—improving care availability and labor participation for rural families—while risking diversion of limited USDA funds, uneven geographic benefits, higher federal costs, and added administrative complexity.
Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025
The bill improves military readiness and may cut sustainment costs by giving DoD access to parts, tools, and clearer rules for repairs, but creates risks of higher near‑term procurement costs, legal and administrative burdens, program schedule delays, and potential long‑term shifts of support costs back to taxpayers.
