Repealing a Biden Rule at the Department of Energy that Effectively Bans Popular Natural Gas Tankless Water Heaters

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters" and published on December 26, 2024. The underlying rule set new federal efficiency standards for gas-fired instantaneous (tankless) water heaters, including widely used non-condensing models. According to supporters, the rule was designed in a way that effectively pushes non-condensing units out of the market and forces homeowners and small businesses into more expensive options and complicated retrofits. They argue this is part of a broader regulatory playbook where Washington uses appliance rules to squeeze out natural gas products, shrinking consumer choice while raising costs for everyday replacements and home repairs.

Blocking Biden's Costly Walk-In Cooler and Freezer Energy Standards Mandate by Overturning a Department of Energy Rule

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers" and published on December 23, 2024. The underlying rule establishes new federal energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers commonly used by grocery stores, restaurants, warehouses, and other commercial facilities. According to supporters, the repeal of the Biden rule would stop Washington from using one-size-fits-all efficiency mandates to dictate the design and purchase of essential refrigeration equipment. They argue these mandates drive up compliance and replacement costs, squeeze small businesses, and ultimately raise prices for consumers as businesses are forced to absorb yet another layer of federal micromanagement.

Repealing a Biden IRS Rule that Grows Financial Surveillance Through Expanded Crypto "Broker" Reporting

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal an Internal Revenue Service rule titled "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales" and published on December 30, 2024. The underlying rule expands who the IRS treats as a "broker" for digital asset sales and would require covered entities to report gross proceeds and send new tax statements tied to crypto transactions. According to supporters, repealing the Biden rule would stop Washington from rewriting the definition of "broker" to sweep in parts of the digital asset economy that do not operate like traditional brokerages, including technology platforms that cannot realistically collect the personal data the rule demands. They argue the Biden rule is less about honest tax administration and more about building a new reporting regime that turns financial innovation into a compliance trap, pushing lawful activity overseas while increasing the federal government''s ability to monitor Americans'' economic lives.
H.J.Res. 35House 2025-20262x

Repealing Biden's EPA Methane Fee Rule That Grows Federal Penalties and Drives Up Domestic Energy Costs

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions" and published on November 18, 2024. The underlying rule sets the compliance framework for the federal "waste emissions charge," including how covered facilities calculate emissions, use "netting," and qualify for exemptions, with EPA positioned to assess penalties when standards are not met. According to supporters, this rule is the enforcement engine for a Washington created methane tax that punishes American oil and gas production, increases compliance burdens across the supply chain, and ultimately raises energy prices for families and job creators. They argue it hands regulators another tool to pressure domestic producers while making the U.S. less competitive and more dependent on foreign energy.
H.J.Res. 42House 2025-20261x

Repealing a Biden Rule at the Department of Energy that Imposed Unnecessary Labeling and Certification Mandates on Consumer Appliances.

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment" and published on October 9, 2024. The underlying rule imposed new federal paperwork, labeling, and reporting requirements and expanded enforcement provisions across a wide range of everyday appliances and equipment. It covered roughly 20 product categories, reaching into items like dishwashers, clothes washers, air conditioners and heat pumps, battery chargers, light bulbs, and other common products used by families and employers. According to supporters, by nullifying the rule, the resolution would stop Washington from turning routine appliances into a compliance headache where manufacturers face more audits, more forms, and more threats of enforcement, and then pass those costs along to everyone at the checkout counter.
H.J.Res. 60House 2025-20261x

Overturning a Draconian Biden Rule that Banned Off-Road Vehicle Usage on Miles of Trails at Glen Canyon National Park

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Mike Kennedy (R-UT), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden National Park Service rule titled "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles" and published on January 13, 2025. The underlying rule revised special regulations for Glen Canyon to update and restrict where motor vehicles may be used on roads and off-road on designated routes and areas. According to supporters, the rule empowers federal land managers to tighten access through regulatory changes that can limit recreation, local use, and tourism-dependent communities while expanding Washington''s control over how Americans can use public lands. They argue Congress should stop this kind of federal overreach and keep access decisions from being driven by bureaucracy and pressure from activist groups rather than transparent, accountable policymaking.
H.J.Res. 61House 2025-20261x

Repealing a Biden EPA Rule that Imposed Costly New Emissions Mandates on U.S. Tire Manufactures.

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing" and published on November 29, 2024. The underlying rule imposed new federal emissions standards on parts of the rubber tire manufacturing process and expanded EPA''s regulatory reach over domestic tire plants. According to supporters, repealing the Biden rule would stop Washington from piling more red tape and expensive compliance demands onto an industry that supports thousands of American jobs and produces an essential product used by nearly every household and business. They argue the mandate would raise production costs, squeeze smaller facilities the hardest, and push more manufacturing out of the United States.
H.J.Res. 75House 2025-20261x

Blocking Biden's Costly Commercial Refrigeration Energy Standards Mandate by Overturning a Department of Energy Rule

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Craig Goldman (R-TX), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers" and published on January 21, 2025. The underlying rule establishes new federal energy conservation standards for common commercial refrigeration equipment used by grocery stores, restaurants, convenience stores, and other businesses. According to supporters, the repeal of the Biden rule would stop Washington from using one-size-fits-all efficiency mandates to dictate what equipment businesses can buy and how much it must cost to comply. These types of federal standards often function as a hidden tax on everyday commerce by forcing expensive redesigns, accelerating replacement cycles, and raising operating and purchase costs that ultimately get passed on to consumers.

Reversing a Biden Endangered Listing to Protect California Water Supplies and Stop Federal Overreach

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by the late Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule titled "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for the San Francisco Bay-Delta Distinct Population Segment of the Longfin Smelt" and published on July 30, 2024. The underlying rule lists the San Francisco Bay-Delta distinct population segment of the longfin smelt as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. According to opponents of the Biden rule, the listing empowers federal regulators and environmental litigators to tighten water-use restrictions in the Bay-Delta and jeopardize water deliveries that families, farmers, and communities rely on, even as California already faces chronic water-management and infrastructure challenges.
H.J.Res. 87House 2025-20261x

Blocking a De Facto National Zero Emission Truck Mandate by Overturning the Biden EPA's California Advanced Clean Trucks Waiver.

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. John James (R-MI), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency notice titled "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions; Advanced Clean Trucks; Zero Emission Airport Shuttle; Zero-Emission Power Train Certification; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision" and published on April 6, 2023. The underlying action granted California a waiver to enforce regulations that drive heavy-duty vehicles and equipment toward government-directed "zero-emission" requirements and impose stricter warranty and maintenance mandates on diesel engines. By allowing one state to set the pace for manufacturers and other states, this waiver functions as a backdoor way to reshape the national truck market without Congress voting on the costs. Supporters argue the waiver raises prices for truckers and small businesses, threatens supply chain reliability, and hands regulators sweeping leverage to force an energy transition that working Americans did not choose.
H.J.Res. 88House 2025-20261x

Blocking California's Backdoor National EV Mandate by Overturning the Biden EPA's Advanced Clean Cars II Waiver

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. John Joyce (R-PA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency action granting California a waiver of federal preemption for its "Advanced Clean Cars II" program, published on December 18, 2024. By nullifying the waiver, the resolution would prevent California from enforcing emissions standards that effectively function as an electric vehicle sales mandate and that pressure automakers and other states to conform to California''s regulatory model. The waiver approach turns a single state''s preferences into a de facto national policy without a direct vote of Congress, raising costs for families, limiting consumer choice, and empowering regulators to reshape the auto market through executive action rather than legislation.
H.J.Res. 89House 2025-20261x

Blocking California's Draconian Heavy-Duty Diesel Emissions Mandate by Overturning a Biden EPA Action

With GOP
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-CA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency action titled "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine and Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; The ''Omnibus'' Low NOX Regulation; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision" and published on January 6, 2025. The underlying action granted California permission to enforce its Omnibus Low-NOx emissions program for heavy-duty engines and certain diesel equipment despite federal preemption under the Clean Air Act. By nullifying the waiver, the resolution would stop California from using federal approval to impose regulations that effectively drive a nationwide push toward stricter diesel requirements as manufacturers and other states are pressured to conform. According to supporters, the waiver is another example of Washington allowing one state to dictate energy and transportation policy for the entire country, raising vehicle and compliance costs, disrupting supply chains, and handing regulators more leverage to squeeze working families, truckers, farmers, and small businesses.

Extending Tax Relief through the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act".

With GOP
This vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, introduced by Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX), is on the reconciliation package whereby the House concurred with the Senate amendments. The bill contained many positive provisions that extended the lower personal and corporate tax rates, as well as key estate and business tax provisions originally enacted within the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire. The bill also contained new provisions such as no tax on tips and overtime, a larger child tax credit, a car-loan interest deduction, and "Trump Accounts" seeded with a $1,000 federal contribution.
H.R. 1048House 2025-20261x

Exposing Foreign Influence in Higher Education by Strengthening Transparency Requirements Through the DETERRENT Act

With GOP
The "Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions Act" (DETERRENT Act), introduced by Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA), would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to strengthen disclosure requirements related to foreign gifts and contracts involving institutions of higher education. The bill updates Section 117 by lowering the reporting threshold for many foreign gifts and contracts, requiring regular reporting, and tightening rules for transactions connected to countries and entities of concern. It also aims to stop colleges and universities from quietly taking money tied to hostile foreign interests while benefiting from massive federal support and taxpayer-backed student aid. According to supporters, the measure is designed to deter foreign regimes from buying access, shaping campus policies, and gaining leverage over research, speech, and academic programs through opaque financial relationships.
H.R. 1048 (Tlaib Amdt. 5)House 2025-20261x

Targeting Israel by Labeling It a "Foreign Country of Concern" Through the DETERRENT Act

With GOP
The Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) amendment #5 to the DETERRENT Act is largely intended to target Israel by expanding the bill''s definition of a "Foreign Country of Concern." Specifically, the amendment would add any country defending a case before the International Court of Justice related to alleged violations of the Geneva Conventions or the Genocide Convention, and any country whose government includes officials with outstanding arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court. This change would import the judgments of international tribunals into U.S. higher education policy and allow politically charged foreign disputes to trigger sweeping federal consequences under the bill''s restrictions and compliance framework. According to the sponsor, the Israeli Government is an "apartheid regime".
H.R. 1223House 2025-20261x

Expanding NSF Climate-Research Bureaucracy Through New Mandates for Activist-Driven Ocean Programs.

Against GOP
The "Accelerating Networking, Cyberinfrastructure, and Hardware for Oceanic Research Act" (ANCHOR Act), introduced by Rep. Vince Fong (R-CA), would require the National Science Foundation to develop and carry out a plan to upgrade telecommunications and cybersecurity capabilities for the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. The bill directs NSF to assess vulnerabilities, set modernization priorities, and coordinate improvements for research vessels used as at-sea laboratories. According to opponents, nothing in current law prevents NSF from making improvements using existing authorities and resources, and the bill instead adds another federal mandate that can become a work around to the DOGE reforms to an agency heavily criticized for waste and politicized climate change and DEI priorities.
H.R. 1402House 2025-20261x

Growing the Federal Government to Impose New Mandates on Ticket Sellers Through the "TICKET Act"

Against GOP
The "Transparency In Charges for Key Events Ticketing Act" (TICKET Act), introduced by Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), would impose new federal mandates on ticket sellers and resellers for concerts, sporting events, performances, and other live events regarding how prices and fees are displayed and itemized. The bill would require up-front "all-in" price displays, additional disclosures across the purchasing process, refund requirements in specified circumstances, and new federal prohibitions aimed at resale practices such as listing tickets a seller does not actually possess. According to opponents, this approach expands the role of the Federal Trade Commission by creating new compliance and enforcement obligations that add taxpayer costs and grow the federal regulatory footprint over routine consumer transactions. They argue that if additional rules are needed, they should be carefully tailored and handled at the state level, rather than building another federal enforcement regime that can become a platform for broader regulation of pricing and marketing in the private marketplace.
H.R. 1526House 2025-20261x

Restoring Separation of Powers by Ending Nationwide Injunctions Issued by Rogue Federal Judges Through the "No Rogue Rulings Act".

With GOP
The "No Rogue Rulings Act" (NORRA) sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) limits the authority of federal district courts to issue injunctions. Specifically, the bill prohibits a district court from issuing an injunction unless the injunction applies only to the parties in the particular case before the court. Supporters argue this would stop a single unelected judge from unilaterally freezing federal policy nationwide and would force broad national questions to be resolved through the normal appellate process rather than through "judge-shopping."
H.R. 1534House 2025-20262x

Advancing a Politicized Climate Change Agenda by Forcing Taxpayers to Fund "Low-Emissions" Cement, Concrete, and Asphalt Programs at the Department of Energy.

Against GOP
The "Innovative Mitigation Partnerships for Asphalt and Concrete Technologies Act" (IMPACT Act), introduced by Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), would require the Department of Energy to establish a new program supporting the advanced production of "low-emissions" cement, concrete, and asphalt. The program would focus on specified technologies and processes, including carbon capture and energy-efficient production methods, and it would authorize DOE to select eligible entities – including government, nonprofit, educational, and private-sector organizations – to carry out demonstration projects. According to opponents, this is another example of the federal government picking winners and losers, using taxpayer-backed programs to advance "low-emissions" mandates that can crowd out market-driven innovation and invite future spending expansions.
H.R. 2056House 2025-20261x

Ending Washington, D.C.'s Sanctuary Policies to Force Cooperation with Federal Immigration Enforcement

With GOP
The District of Columbia Federal Immigration Compliance Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), would prohibit the District of Columbia from adopting or enforcing laws, policies, or practices that restrict cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, with limited exceptions related to certain witnesses and crime victims. The bill would require D.C. agencies to share immigration status information and comply with federal requests that help identify and remove illegal immigrants who are in custody or otherwise encountered by local authorities. According to supporters, the nation''s capital should not operate as a sanctuary jurisdiction that blocks lawful enforcement and makes it harder to detain and deport illegal immigrants, including those with criminal histories. They argue Congress has a duty to ensure D.C. follows federal law, protects public safety, and does not provide a safe haven that invites more illegal immigration and weakens confidence in the rule of law.
H.R. 22House 2025-20263x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Register to Vote in Federal Elections.

With GOP
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require documentary proof of United States citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. It would prohibit states from accepting or processing a federal voter registration application unless the applicant presents approved proof of citizenship, and it directs states to create an alternative process for applicants to submit other evidence to demonstrate citizenship. The bill also requires states to take ongoing affirmative steps to ensure only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, including establishing programs to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens and removing noncitizens from voter rolls. According to supporters, the measure closes loopholes that invite error and abuse in a system that often relies on self-attestation, strengthens public confidence in elections, and ensures political power remains tied to citizenship rather than being diluted through unlawful registration.
H.R. 2240House 2025-20261x

Improving Data on Targeted Attacks on Law Enforcement to Strengthen Officer Safety

With GOP
The Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC), would require the Department of Justice to report on targeted attacks on law enforcement officers, assess the feasibility of incorporating those attacks into existing national crime reporting systems, and identify mental health resources available to law enforcement. The measure is aimed at creating a clearer nationwide picture of threats and violence directed at officers and whether current reporting systems adequately capture that reality. It also pushes DOJ to evaluate how officer wellness resources are being provided and where gaps exist. According to supporters, better data and transparency are necessary to protect officers, inform policymakers, and ensure public safety decisions are based on facts rather than politics.
H.R. 2243House 2025-20261x

Expanding the "Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act" to Let Qualified Officers Carry Concealed Firearms Across State Lines.

With GOP
The LEOSA Reform Act, introduced by Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), would update the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act to broaden where qualified active and retired law enforcement officers may carry concealed firearms and ammunition across state lines. The bill would align LEOSA with the Gun-Free School Zones Act so qualified officers are not treated as criminals in school zones, and it would clarify that LEOSA protections apply in units of the National Park System. It would also prevent state and local laws from being used to ban qualified officers from carrying concealed firearms. In addition, the bill would strengthen LEOSA by explicitly covering magazines and by allowing states to extend the retired officer firearms qualification window from 12 months up to 36 months, reducing unnecessary red tape that can sideline trained professionals. According to supporters, these reforms remove carve-outs that have grown over time and empower vetted officers to respond to threats in public spaces.
H.R. 2255House 2025-20261x

Ending the Wasteful Destruction of Retired Federal Service Weapons by Authorizing Sales to Qualified Law Enforcement Officers.

With GOP
The Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC), would direct the General Services Administration to establish a program allowing current and retired federal law enforcement officers to purchase retired service weapons that were issued to them, at salvage value. The program would apply only to officers in good standing and would require the purchase to occur within a set window after the firearm is retired. Instead of forcing agencies to destroy thousands of firearms through a costly disposal process, the measure would allow agencies to recoup some value while limiting transfers to the officers who carried those weapons in the course of duty.
H.R. 23House 2025-20262x

Defending U.S. and Israeli Sovereignty by Sanctioning the International Criminal Court for Targeting Non-Member Nations

With GOP
The "Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act," introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), would impose sanctions related to the International Criminal Court (ICC) when it attempts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute "protected persons" of the United States and certain U.S. allies that have not consented to ICC jurisdiction. The bill requires visa- and property-blocking sanctions on foreign persons who materially assist such ICC actions, and it also applies visa restrictions to certain immediate family members, while rescinding and restricting U.S. funding for the ICC. In part, the legislation responds to the ICC''s escalating actions against Israel after, in November 2024, the ICC announced arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on baseless charges of "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity." According to supporters, this is about stopping an unaccountable international tribunal from trying to police Americans and key allies from the outside, even though the United States never granted the ICC authority over our citizens and Israel is not subject to its jurisdiction either.
H.R. 249House 2025-20261x

Using Federal Resources to Rename National Park Facilities in Honor of a Former Democratic Congressman

With GOP
This bill, introduced by Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ), would redesignate two sites at Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park as the "Bill Pascrell, Jr. Scenic Overlook Trail Bridge" and the "Bill Pascrell, Jr. Overlook Park." Pascrell represented New Jersey in Congress for nearly three decades and sponsored the 2009 law establishing Paterson Great Falls as a unit of the National Park System. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that implementing the bill would require taxpayer-funded updates to maps, informational material, and signage. According to supporters, the bill would appropriately honor Pascrell''s legacy and recognize his role in preserving and elevating the historic Great Falls site.
H.R. 26House 2025-20261x

Prohibiting the Executive Branch from Enacting a Fracking Moratorium Without Congressional Approval through the "Protecting American Energy Production Act".

With GOP
The "Protecting American Energy Production Act," introduced by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), would prohibit the President from declaring a moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing unless Congress authorizes it. The bill also expresses the sense of Congress that states should maintain primacy for regulating fracking for oil and natural gas production on state and private lands. According to supporters, this is a direct response to the way Washington can use "emergencies," agency pressure, and executive actions to choke off American energy even when families are already being squeezed by high costs. They argue a federal fracking moratorium would kill jobs, raise utility and fuel prices, and hand more control of U.S. energy to bureaucrats and foreign producers.
H.R. 27House 2025-20261x

Cracking Down on Fentanyl Trafficking by Permanently Scheduling Fentanyl Related Substances Through the HALT Fentanyl Act

With GOP
The "HALT Fentanyl Act," introduced by Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), would permanently place fentanyl related substances as a class into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. This change is intended to stop traffickers from staying one step ahead of the law by making small chemical tweaks to create new fentanyl knockoffs that are not clearly covered under current scheduling. The bill also aligns penalties and thresholds for fentanyl related substances with existing fentanyl analogue enforcement and includes changes meant to streamline certain research registration rules. According to supporters, this is about closing a deadly loophole that cartels and dealers exploit while communities bury loved ones and first responders face a constant, toxic threat.
H.R. 275House 2025-20261x

Requiring DHS Transparency on High Risk "Special Interest Aliens" to Strengthen Border Security and National Security Oversight

With GOP
The "Special Interest Alien Reporting Act of 2025", introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), would require the Department of Homeland Security to provide a monthly report on non U.S. nationals who attempt to unlawfully enter the United States and who potentially pose a national security risk. The report would include the number of such individuals, their nationalities or countries of last residence, and the locations where they were encountered. According to supporters, the bill addresses growing concerns that the federal government is not being fully transparent with Congress and the public about high-risk border encounters that may involve terrorism-related or hostile foreign actor threats. They argue that regular reporting strengthens accountability, helps lawmakers target resources and policy changes where they are most needed, and reduces the ability of unelected officials to downplay security failures behind closed doors.
H.R. 276House 2025-20261x

Renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" to Affirm American Sovereignty and National Identity

With GOP
The Gulf of America Act, introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." The bill would require the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Board on Geographic Names, to oversee the change and would require federal agencies to update maps and documents to reflect the new name. The measure followed President Trump''s January 20, 2025 executive order titled "Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness," which directed federal action to adopt the new designation. According to supporters, the bill would reinforce American sovereignty over a region that is central to the nation''s energy production, commerce, and security, while promoting a stronger sense of national pride and recognition of the Gulf''s importance to the United States.
H.R. 28House 2025-20261x

Protecting Women's Sports by Codifying Sex-Based Athletic Protections

With GOP
The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," introduced by Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL), would amend Title IX to make clear that for purposes of athletics, sex is based on an individual''s reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The bill would prohibit schools that receive federal education funds from allowing males to participate on women''s and girls'' sports teams or in women''s athletic programs. According to supporters, without a clear law from Congress, federal bureaucrats and activist lawsuits will keep pressuring schools to let biological males compete in girls'' sports, undermining fairness, safety, and equal opportunity while forcing families and local communities to comply with Washington''s ideological agenda.
H.R. 2931House 2025-20261x

Moving SBA Offices Out of Sanctuary Jurisdictions to Stop Federal Resources from Propping Up Local Defiance of Immigration Law

With GOP
The Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Brad Finstad (R-MN), would require the Small Business Administration to relocate any regional, district, or local office if the SBA makes a public determination that the office is located in a sanctuary jurisdiction. The bill would require that relocation occur within 60 days and would also prohibit the SBA from establishing an office in a sanctuary jurisdiction in the future. It defines a sanctuary jurisdiction as a state or political subdivision that restricts information-sharing about citizenship or immigration status or restricts compliance with specified Department of Homeland Security requests. According to supporters, taxpayers should not be funding a federal footprint in jurisdictions that undermine lawful immigration enforcement, and relocating SBA offices is a practical accountability tool that pressures local officials to cooperate with the rule of law while keeping SBA services available in jurisdictions that do not obstruct federal enforcement.
H.R. 2966House 2025-20261x

Ensuring Taxpayer-Backed SBA Loans Go Only to Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents

With GOP
The American Entrepreneurs First Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), would revise application requirements for the Small Business Administration''s 7(a) and 504 loan programs. It would require loan applications to include the applicant''s date of birth and a certification that the applicant, or all beneficial owners, are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or lawful permanent residents. The measure would also make certain categories of non-citizens ineligible for these taxpayer-backed loans, including asylees, refugees, visa holders, nonimmigrants, DACA recipients, and individuals without lawful status. According to supporters, federal loan programs should not subsidize illegal immigration or provide taxpayer-supported financing to individuals without permanent legal ties to the United States, and Congress must ensure limited federal resources are prioritized for Americans and those legally rooted here.
H.R. 2987House 2025-20261x

Capping SBA "Preferred Lender" Expansion to Rein in Taxpayer-Backed Credit Subsidies and Bureaucratic Favoritism

With GOP
The Capping Excessive Awarding of SBLC Entrants Act of 2025 (CEASE Act), introduced by Rep. Robert Bresnahan (R-PA), would limit the number of for-profit Small Business Lending Companies (SBLCs) authorized to make loans under the SBA''s 7(a) loan program to no more than 16 at any time. SBLCs are non-depository lenders that receive authority to originate government-guaranteed small business loans, placing taxpayers on the hook when loans go bad. The bill responds to the recent push to expand and license additional for-profit SBLCs, which supporters argue could widen federally subsidized lending while weakening accountability and increasing exposure to waste, fraud, and political favoritism. According to supporters, Congress should stop the SBA from turning 7(a) into a bigger pipeline of taxpayer-backed credit through hand-picked licensing decisions and instead keep tight limits on a program that already distorts markets and encourages risky lending under a federal guarantee.
H.R. 30House 2025-20262x

Protecting Families by Deporting Illegal Immigrants Who Have Committed Sexual and Domestic Violence Crimes.

With GOP
The "Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act," introduced by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to strengthen immigration consequences for illegal immigrants who have committed sex offenses or domestic violence-related crimes. The bill establishes additional criminal grounds of inadmissibility and expands the crimes that make an illegal immigrant deportable, including cases where an individual has been convicted of or has admitted to certain conduct. It is designed to close gaps that allow dangerous offenders to remain in the country even after serious allegations or criminal findings. According to supporters, when the federal government fails to enforce immigration law, local communities pay the price, and women are left more vulnerable to repeat offenders who should never have been here in the first place.

Reducing Regulatory Barriers Surrounding "Accredited Investor" in Securities Offerings to Expand Private Investment Opportunities.

With GOP
The Fair Investment Opportunities for Professional Experts Act, introduced by Rep. French Hill (R-AR), would amend the Securities Act of 1933 to expand who qualifies as an "accredited investor" for certain private offerings of securities. The bill would allow individuals to qualify based on demonstrable education or job experience related to an investment, with that qualification verified through a securities self-regulatory organization, rather than relying only on wealth and income thresholds. It also codifies and updates existing eligibility criteria for accredited investors and directs the Securities and Exchange Commission to revise Regulation D to conform to these changes. According to supporters, the current system is an unfair, government-imposed gatekeeping regime that reserves many private investment opportunities for the wealthy, and the bill would let knowledgeable professionals participate while helping startups and growing businesses access more private capital without pushing them into the costly public markets.
H.R. 3422House 2025-20262x

Forcing the SEC to Engage in Greater DEI Initiatives through the "Non-Traditional Capital Formation Act"

With GOP
The Promoting Opportunities for Non-Traditional Capital Formation Act, introduced by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), would expand the duties of the Securities and Exchange Commission''s Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation by directing it to promote capital-raising options for "traditionally underrepresented small businesses" (meaning businesses owned or controlled by racial minorities, women, and other groups treated as "underserved" under federal equity programs), as well as rural businesses and businesses affected by natural disasters. The bill would require the office to develop educational resources and participate in events tied to these targeted categories and requires annual meetings with state securities regulators to discuss coordination. According to opponents, the measure expands the SEC''s mission into social-policy advocacy and politicized DEI initiatives, while leaving untouched the real reason many entrepreneurs struggle to raise capital, which is overbearing securities rules and regulatory compliance burdens.

Protecting Border Communities and Law Enforcement by Cracking Down on High-Speed Border Chases Through the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act

With GOP
The "Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act," introduced by Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), would create new federal criminal penalties for individuals who intentionally flee Border Patrol or law enforcement assisting Border Patrol while operating a motor vehicle within 100 miles of the U.S. border. The bill increases penalties when a pursuit causes serious injury or death, and also makes noncitizens who commit the offense subject to immigration consequences. According to supporters, this targets the dangerous chase culture fueled by the border crisis, where smugglers and illegal entrants try to outrun law enforcement and turn public roads into a weapon, putting officers and families at risk.
H.R. 375House 2025-20262x

Socializing Hawaii's Forest Disease and Restoration Costs by Expanding a Federal Rapid Ohia Death Response Program.

With GOP
The "Continued Rapid Ohia Death Response Act of 2025," introduced by Rep. Jill Tokuda (D-HI), would require the Secretary of the Interior to partner with the Secretary of Agriculture and the State of Hawaii to research, control, and respond to Rapid Ohia Death, a fungal disease affecting Ohia trees. The bill directs federal agencies to coordinate with Hawaii on detection, prevention, and restoration efforts tied to the spread of the disease. While Hawaii's forests are important to the state, this measure pulls federal taxpayers into funding and managing what is fundamentally a state land and resource issue. States face unique environmental conditions and local priorities, and Washington should not be turned into a permanent backstop for ongoing forest treatment and restoration programs.
H.R. 3944 (Carter Amdt. En Bloc No. 2)House 2025-20261x

Reprioritizing Existing Funds Toward Military Readiness and Veterans Care Without Hiking Spending in the Military and VA Appropriation Bill.

With GOP
The Rep. John Carter (R-TX) amendment en bloc No. 2 to the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 would package several amendments into one vote and make targeted funding shifts rather than adding new spending. The amendment would transfer $4.1 million out of the NATO Security Investment Fund to the Air Force Planning and Design Fund to bolster base security at installations receiving B-21 bomber aircraft. It would also include multiple "increase and decrease" provisions that redirect existing dollars within VA and military accounts, including $5 million for veterans'' medical services with an emphasis on memory care, language encouraging privatized housing options for unaccompanied service members, and provisions to increase access to in-home care through community care. According to supporters, the package strengthens readiness and improves practical care and infrastructure priorities by moving funds away from lower-priority uses and toward core responsibilities, while keeping changes offset so Congress is not opening the door to a broader spending expansion.

Cutting $9.4 Billion in Wasteful Foreign Aid and Federal Propaganda Subsidies Through a Targeted Rescissions Package.

With GOP
The Rescissions Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), would rescind $9.4 billion in previously appropriated but unobligated funding pursuant to President Trump''s June 3, 2025 rescissions request under the Impoundment Control Act. The bill would cancel funds from the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development accounts, along with rescissions affecting related entities and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (NPR and PBS). The rescissions target categories such as contributions to international organizations, global health programs, migration, various foreign assistance and stabilization funds, and climate-related international funding. According to supporters, this measure is a first step to rein in entrenched Washington spending, stop sending taxpayer dollars to overseas programs that often lack accountability, and end subsidizing media institutions that have grown dependent on federal funding while advancing biased narratives.
H.R. 471House 2025-20261x

Removing Federal Red Tape to Reduce Risk of Catastrophic Wildfires through the "Fix Our Forests Act".

With GOP
The "Fix Our Forests Act," introduced by Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR), would expedite environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and improve forest management activities on National Forest System lands, Bureau of Land Management lands, and Tribal lands. The bill establishes new tools and timelines intended to speed up forest restoration and ensure proper forest maintenance. It also includes provisions aimed at reducing delays that can come from procedural hurdles and litigation when agencies try to carry out forest health work. The goal is to increase the pace and scale of preventative management, so federal lands are not left to accumulate dangerous fuels year after year. According to supporters, Washington''s slow-walk permitting and endless process has left forests dangerously overcrowded, turning routine fire seasons into catastrophic disasters. They argue that while officials talk about resilience projects, such as cutting overgrown, dead and diseased trees, preventative treatments can sit for years while paperwork piles up and lawsuits stall action.

Stopping "Midnight Regulations" and Restoring Congressional Accountability by Strengthening the Congressional Review Act

With GOP
The "Midnight Rules Relief Act," introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), would amend the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to allow Congress to disapprove more than one federal rule in a single joint resolution when those rules were submitted during the final year of a President''s term. Under current practice, agencies can rush out a flood of last-minute regulations and Congress must take them up one-by-one, even when the rules are part of the same end-of-term regulatory push. According to supporters, this bill would stop bureaucrats from playing a numbers game – dumping dozens of costly rules on the public and daring Congress to spend weeks or months trying to reverse them individually. They argue it makes it easier for elected lawmakers to respond quickly, undo sweeping regulatory sprees, and reassert accountability when administrations try to lock in policies on the way out the door.
H.R. 776House 2025-20261x

Socializing State Wildlife Management Costs by Reauthorizing the Federal Nutria Eradication Program Through 2030.

With GOP
The "Nutria Eradication and Control Reauthorization Act of 2025," introduced by Rep. Josh Harder (D-CA), would reauthorize through FY2030 the Nutria Eradication and Control Act of 2003. The law allows the Department of the Interior to provide financial assistance to states for nutria eradication or control and for restoring marshland damaged by nutria (invasive, semi-aquatic rodents). According to opponents, invasive species management and habitat restoration are not core federal responsibilities and should be handled by states, localities, and private landowners who are closest to the problem. They argue this is another example of Washington shifting localized costs onto federal taxpayers nationwide, inviting waste and bureaucratic sprawl instead of encouraging responsible state-led stewardship and private solutions.
H.R. 818House 2025-20262x

Worsening DEI Discrimination in Federal Contracting by Expanding SBA Procurement Scorecard Mandates.

Against GOP
The "Small Business Procurement and Utilization Reform Act of 2025" (SPUR Act), introduced by Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN), would change the Small Business Administration''s annual federal procurement scorecards by requiring agencies to report the number of first-time small business prime contractors, including categories tied to set-aside preferences such as socially and economically disadvantaged businesses and women-owned small businesses. The bill would push agencies to track and prioritize contracting outcomes based on identity-based classifications rather than focusing procurement strictly on value and performance. According to opponents, this approach deepens DEI-style discrimination in government procurement by encouraging agencies to steer more prime contracts using race- and sex-based preferences, limiting competition and shutting out businesses that do not fit favored categories. It also grows waste by adding new layers of accounting and compliance research and unnecessarily hikes taxpayer procurement costs.
H.R. 875House 2025-20261x

Making DUI a Deportable Offense for Illegal Immigrants to Protect Families and Restore the Rule of Law

With GOP
The Jeremy and Angel Seay and Sergeant Brandon Mendoza Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make driving under the influence or impaired driving a specific ground of inadmissibility and deportability. The bill would bar entry for a non-U.S. national who has been convicted of a DUI offense or who admits to conduct that meets the elements of the offense, and it would make a DUI conviction a basis for removal for those already in the country. According to supporters, the measure responds to fatal cases involving illegal immigrants who drove drunk and aims to close loopholes that allow repeat offenders to remain in the United States. They argue it reinforces basic public safety expectations, deters dangerous behavior, and ensures immigration enforcement prioritizes removing individuals who have shown reckless disregard for the lives of others.
H.R. 973House 2025-20261x

Growing the Size and Scope of the Consumer Product Safety Commission to Impose New Mandates on Electric Bicycles and Scooters

Against GOP
The "Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act," introduced by Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to impose a new federal consumer product safety rule for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility devices such as electric bicycles and scooters. The bill effectively directs the agency to turn outside technical standards into a federally enforced mandate, backed by compliance requirements and enforcement authority. According to opponents, the measure would expand the federal regulatory state and increase taxpayer costs, including the need for additional personnel and administrative work to implement and police the new rule. Opponents also argue there are already processes in place at the CPSC to monitor consumer product safety, and companies have strong private-sector incentives to ensure products are safe, including brand integrity, liability risk, and other legal enforcement mechanisms that already deter dangerous products without Congress creating another federal mandate.
H.Res. 189House 2025-20261x

Enforcing Order and Decorum in the House by Censuring Rep. Al Green for Disrupting President Trump's Address to Congress

With GOP
This resolution, introduced by Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), would censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX) for disrupting President Trump''s March 4, 2025 address to a joint session of Congress. The resolution states that Green repeatedly interrupted the President''s remarks, breached proper conduct during the proceedings, and had to be removed from the chamber by the Sergeant at Arms after refusing to comply with warnings from the chair. Censure is a formal rebuke by the House and requires the member to present himself in the well of the chamber for the public reading of the resolution. According to supporters, Green''s conduct crossed a basic line of institutional order and respect by turning a formal joint session into a spectacle and refusing repeated instructions to stop. They argued that Congress cannot maintain public trust, serious deliberation, or respect for constitutional institutions if members are free to disrupt official proceedings without consequence.
H.Res. 516House 2025-20261x

Condemning Violent Anti-ICE Riots and Standing with ICE and Law Enforcement

With GOP
This resolution sponsored by Rep. Young Kim (R-CA), would condemn the violent June 2025 riots in Los Angeles, California, that followed lawful federal immigration enforcement actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The resolution recognizes the right to protest peacefully, but condemns violence against federal, state, and local law enforcement and calls on local and state leaders to work with the federal government to restore peace. It also expresses gratitude to law enforcement agencies, including ICE and local and state departments, for protecting communities amid the unrest.
H.Res. 537 (Motion to Table)House 2025-20262x

Rejecting a Politicized Impeachment Effort Against President Trump over the Iran Nuclear Site Strikes

With GOP
This motion to table H.Res. 537 prevented House consideration of a resolution introduced by Rep. Al Green (D-TX) to impeach President Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors. The underlying resolution accused Trump of abusing presidential power by ordering U.S. military strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites without prior congressional authorization and argued that the action violated Congress''s war powers. The measure was filed just days after the strikes and forced onto the floor on an expedited basis amid sharp debate over the President''s authority as commander in chief. According to opponents of the impeachment resolution, this was a reckless and partisan attempt to weaponize impeachment against a President acting to eliminate a serious national security threat and protect the United States from the world''s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
