Blocking President Trump''s Executive Order that Restricts Federal Collective Bargaining and Union Power that Hikes Taxpayer Costs
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
The Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) amendment #1466 to the Senate budget resolution would protect federal collective bargaining agreements and the right to organize for government employees. The amendment is aimed at reversing President Trump''s Executive Order 14251, "Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs," issued March 27, 2025, which invoked national-security authorities to exclude dozens of agencies and subcomponents from federal collective bargaining requirements and to end union bargaining, grievance, and arbitration procedures in those covered components. By setting up a reserve fund to "prohibit attacks" on federal unions, the amendment would lock in union work rules and bargaining leverage as a budget priority, making it harder to carry out workforce reforms and accountability measures even after widespread waste and inefficiency have been exposed across the federal government.

Preserving Out-of-Control Medicaid Spending by Blocking Trump Admin Reforms that Improve System Integrity and Reduce Waste
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
The Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) amendment #1693 to the Senate budget resolution would allow the Senate Budget Committee Chairman to adjust budget levels to prevent a reduction in Medicaid funding that could lead to rural hospital closures, higher costs for people with other kinds of insurance, or higher rates of uncompensated care. While framed as protecting rural access, the amendment would create a new budget mechanism designed to shield Medicaid from savings and integrity reforms by treating any reduction as off-limits. Opponents argued Medicaid cannot be protected by keeping wasteful spending on autopilot, especially when the program is riddled with payment games and improper spending that divert resources away from actual patient care. Rural communities need targeted, accountable solutions that improve care delivery and reduce bureaucracy – not a reserve fund that entrenches the Medicaid welfare system and blocks needed cost control.

Placing America Last by Locking-In Aid to Ukraine and Restricting Congress from Imposing New Limits

Against GOP
The Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) amendment #1646 to the Senate budget resolution would prevent any cuts to aid or security assistance to Ukraine. It would allow the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other budget levels to "preserve the delivery of assistance to Ukraine." Opponents argue the amendment in effect, protects open-ended foreign commitments inside the budget process while Washington is running massive deficits and failing to secure the border, restore fiscal discipline, and deliver accountability at home.

Entrenching the Inflation Reduction Act Drug Price Controls by Blocking Reforms in the Senate Budget.
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
This vote was on a motion to advance the Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) amendment #1690 to the Senate budget resolution. The amendment would create a new point of order against legislation deemed to "increase drug costs for seniors and people with disabilities on Medicare," giving Senate leadership another procedural tool to block changes to federal drug policy. Opponents argued this measure is an attempt to enshrine the draconian price controls imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act by making it harder for Congress to revisit or roll back the IRA''s mandates. The IRA created an inflation rebate scheme that punishes manufacturers when certain Medicare drug prices rise faster than inflation, and while it is sold as consumer relief, critics warn it operates like a backdoor price cap that distorts markets. They note these policies can encourage higher launch prices, reduce discounts, and tighten access as companies try to manage rebate exposure, while pushing the system further toward centralized government control of medicine and undermining investment in new cures over time.

Blocking $880 Billion in Medicaid Reforms by Using a "Caregiving" Reserve Fund to Protect an Unsustainable Entitlement from Waste Cuts
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
The Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) amendment #1644 to the Senate budget resolution would create a deficit-neutral reserve fund allowing the Senate Budget Committee Chairman to adjust budget levels for legislation aimed at preventing increased barriers for caregivers and the "care economy." In practice, this reserve fund is designed to ensure that the $880 billion in Medicaid savings and reforms contemplated under the budget do not take effect in ways that reduce spending or tighten eligibility and financing. Opponents argued the amendment would be used to block integrity reforms by the Trump administration that cut waste, fraud, and abuse and to preserve a Medicaid system that has exploded in cost and become increasingly unsustainable. They warned that protecting the status quo keeps incentives for dependency in place while taxpayers are forced to subsidize a rapidly expanding entitlement program that was never meant to function as an open-ended spending pipeline.

Blocking DOGE Social Security Efficiency Reforms Designed to Cut Bureaucracy and Waste
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
The Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) amendment #2186 to the Senate budget resolution would allow the Senate Budget Committee Chairman to adjust budget levels to reverse cuts to the Social Security Administration, including cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) or any other changes to seniors'' services. While presented as protecting seniors, the amendment is designed to insulate the SSA from streamlining efforts and make it harder to reduce bureaucracy and administrative bloat. Opponents argued Social Security is not a federal jobs program, and taxpayers should not be forced to fund inefficient structures when reforms can modernize service delivery, reduce waste, and strengthen integrity. Locking in a mechanism to "reverse cuts" also undermines accountability by treating any efficiency measure as unacceptable, even when the federal government faces enormous deficits and a nearly $39 trillion national debt.

Preserving FEMA's Open-Ended Disaster Bureaucracy Instead of Reforming Waste, Mismanagement, and Federal Overreach
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
The Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) amendment #1774 to the Senate budget resolution would reiterate the importance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its continued role in providing nonpartisan and long-term disaster relief to disaster survivors. While framed as a simple affirmation, the amendment is designed to discourage efforts to restructure disaster relief and to keep Washington entrenched as the default responder and long-term payer for rebuilding. Opponents argued FEMA''s mission creep has fueled an expensive system that shifts responsibilities away from states and localities, encourages dependency on federal bailouts, and too often lacks real accountability when billions are spent quickly. They warned that refusing to reform the disaster-relief model locks taxpayers into more debt-financed spending while the federal government struggles to manage its massive obligations and growing deficit.

Blocking the Largest Debt-Limit Blowout in History by Limiting the Increase and Forcing Real Spending Restraint
View Full Analysis
Undefined
With GOP
The Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) amendment #1760 to the Senate budget resolution would modify the debt limit reconciliation instruction for the House and Senate. Specifically, it would reduce the instructed debt-limit increase to $500 billion rather than the roughly $5 trillion increase contemplated under the budget resolution''s broader approach. The debt limit is one of the last remaining restraints that forces Congress to confront borrowing, and a historic multi-trillion-dollar hike signals Washington is not serious about making DOGE-style waste cuts permanent. By limiting the increase, the amendment would keep pressure on Congress to actually deliver structural spending reductions instead of treating waste-cutting as a temporary talking point that disappears once more borrowing authority is granted.

Advancing Wealth Redistribution by Creating a "Middle-Class Tax Relief" Reserve Fund Built on Higher Taxes for the Ultra-Wealthy and Corporations
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
The Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) amendment #2152 to the Senate budget resolution would create a deficit-neutral reserve fund allowing the Senate Budget Committee Chairman to adjust budget levels for legislation providing tax relief for the middle class and small businesses while ensuring corporations and the ultra-wealthy "pay their fair share," so long as it does not increase deficits over fiscal years 2025 through 2034. While marketed as middle-class relief, the amendment is structured around a class-war premise that Washington should shift the tax burden upward and then use the tax code to redistribute through new federal tax-policy packages. Opponents argued this approach invites bigger government and politicized tax engineering, with taxpayers and job creators treated as revenue targets to finance new promises rather than driving real reforms that restrain spending and reduce dependency.

Fueling Higher Unemployment by Advancing a $17 an Hour Federal Minimum Wage Rate Hike
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
The Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) amendment #2126 to the Senate budget resolution would create a reserve fund allowing the Senate Budget Committee Chairman to advance legislation increasing the federal minimum wage to at least $17 an hour over five years. The stated purpose is to ensure the Senate can raise the minimum wage by a simple majority vote, bypassing normal Senate constraints and pushing a major national labor mandate through a budget process. Opponents argued a one size fits all federal wage floor ignores regional cost differences and would hit small businesses, nonprofits, and local employers with higher labor costs that often lead to fewer entry level jobs, reduced hours, or faster automation. They also warned it would shift more workers into government dependency as employers cut opportunities, while Washington imposes centralized wage policy that states and communities are better positioned to address.

Blocking $880 Billion in Medicaid Cuts to Keep the Welfare System on Autopilot and Prevent Integrity Reforms
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
The Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) amendment #1989 to the Senate budget resolution would strike a section that directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to achieve $880,000,000,000 in savings from Medicaid over the next decade. As a result, the amendment would prevent Medicaid reforms and would protect the status quo in a program known to be plagued by waste, weak accountability, and financing games that shift costs onto federal taxpayers. Opponents of the amendment argued that Medicaid cannot be treated as a permanent, open-ended spending pipeline and that real savings are necessary to protect the program for the truly needy, improve integrity, and address an unsustainable fiscal trajectory driven by runaway federal spending and debt.

The resolution lays out a series of findings describing the historic record of socialist and communist regimes, including famine, repression, and mass death, and it highlights how centralized economic control often collapses into authoritarian rule. It also underscores America''s founding principles by citing the importance of property rights, personal liberty, and the freedom to enjoy the fruits of one''s labor.

Restricting the President's Ability to Use Military Force Against Cartel Terrorists and Narco-Traffickers in the Western Hemisphere
View Full Analysis

Against GOP
This concurrent resolution, introduced by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), would direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities with presidentially designated terrorist organizations in the Western Hemisphere unless Congress enacted a declaration of war or specific authorization. The resolution followed the Trump administration''s designation of cartels and related groups as terrorist organizations and its military campaign against suspected drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean and nearby waters. According to opponents of the resolution, it failed to account for the extraordinary national security threat posed by violent drug trafficking cartels and narco-terrorists operating in and around the Caribbean Sea. They argued that these groups are heavily armed, increasingly organized, and directly responsible for the flow of deadly drugs into American communities, and that Congress should not move forward with a measure that limits the President''s ability to act against them.

This concurrent resolution, introduced by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), would direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela unless Congress enacted a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization. The measure came amid the Trump administration''s expanding military campaign against suspected drug trafficking boats in and around the Caribbean and broader tensions involving Venezuela. According to opponents of the resolution, it failed to account for the extraordinary national security threat posed by violent drug trafficking cartels and narco-terrorists operating in the region, some of which may be connected to the Maduro regime. They argued that moving this resolution would restrict the President''s authority as commander in chief and make it harder to protect Americans from foreign criminal organizations driving violence and deadly drugs into the United States.

Specifically, the discharge petition would terminate the national emergency declared by President Trump on July 30, 2025, in Executive Order 14323, pursuant to the National Emergencies Act. President Trump''s EO imposed an additional 40% tariff on Brazilian goods, which was on top of a 10% tariff the President imposed on Brazilian goods in April of 2025. Notably, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Learning Resources v. Trump that these emergency-tariff actions are unconstitutional.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In effect, it would prevent Washington from building a government-controlled payment system that could bypass the private banking system and place day-to-day transactions under federal control.

The Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) amendment #1266 to the FY2025 appropriations bill would reduce the amount appropriated for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) by codifying the Trump administration''s foreign-aid reductions identified through Secretary Rubio and DOGE. The amendment would have saved taxpayers roughly $16 billion on an annualized basis by cutting back a foreign-aid bureaucracy that has long operated with weak oversight and a history of waste, fraud, and abuse. Supporters argued the cuts were especially urgent as DOGE has highlighted examples of taxpayer dollars being steered toward ideological advocacy and "woke" cultural projects abroad, including cited spending such as $2 million tied to "sex changes" and LGBT activism in Guatemala, thousands for an LGBT-themed opera project in Colombia, and a claimed grant connected to a transgender-themed comic initiative in Peru. Rather than continuing to fund these programs at prior-year levels, the amendment would have locked in reductions and redirected the savings toward lowering the deficit and debt.

The Sen.

DOGE''s work has highlighted the scale of routine mismanagement across the bureaucracy, including the Small Business Administration distributing more than $300 million in loans to thousands of children age 11 and younger, agencies paying for tens of thousands of unused software licenses, and the Department of Veterans Affairs spending $56,000 to water eight plants for five years. Opponents of the amendment argued that shutting down DOGE is an attempt to protect the status quo by stopping audits, transparency, and reforms that expose waste and force agencies to justify spending. With deficits surging and debt approaching crisis levels, they warned Congress should be expanding scrutiny of federal spending, not cutting off the very effort identifying abuses in real time.

Closing the Medicaid Loophole that Lets Illegal Immigrants Receive Benefits Before Lawful Presence Is Verified

Undefined
With GOP
The Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) amendment #2764 to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" would close a loophole that allows illegal immigrants to receive Medicaid coverage for up to 90 days by blocking federal taxpayer dollars from funding benefits for prospective beneficiaries until citizenship or lawful presence is verified. Under current practice, states can provide coverage during a verification window, creating a pathway for ineligible individuals to receive taxpayer-funded benefits before eligibility is confirmed. Supporters argued this is a basic integrity reform needed to protect Medicaid for lawful, vulnerable Americans and to stop the program from being exploited as a de facto benefit for those who are not eligible. They also pointed to the broader scale of Medicaid and federal health-program waste, noting estimates of more than $1 trillion in improper payments over the last decade, and argued that restoring integrity requires ending policies that invite abuse. In addition, supporters cited estimates that roughly 1.4 million illegal immigrants are currently exploiting Medicaid and argued that eligibility verification up front is a straightforward way to protect taxpayers and preserve resources for those who truly need care.

Worsening Wealth Redistribution by Hiking the Top Tax Rate to 39.6% to Fuel Greater Levels of Out-of-Control Health Spending and Cronyism
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
This vote was on the motion to advance the Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) amendment #2812 to the "One Big Beautiful Bill". The amendment would expand the Rural Health Transformation Program by increasing the Rural Healthcare Provider Fund from $20 billion to $50 billion and broadening eligibility beyond rural hospitals to include community health centers, nursing homes, ambulance services, skilled nursing facilities, and other providers tied to the Medicaid welfare system. Opponents warned the structure functions like a slush fund that states can utilize for unrelated initiatives, with weak accountability often enriching politically connected entities while failing to fix underlying access and integrity problems. To pay for the expansion, the amendment would raise the top individual income tax rate from 37 percent to 39.6 percent for individuals earning more than $25 million and couples earning more than $50 million, further deepening Washington''s cycle of higher taxes and bigger government healthcare spending.

Penalizing States that Use Medicaid to Cover Criminal Aliens by Reducing Federal Subsidies for Violent and Sexual Offenders

The Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) amendment #2771 to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" would reduce federal Medicaid funding to states that provide Medicaid coverage to illegal immigrants who have been convicted or charged with serious offenses, including sex offenses, human trafficking, domestic or child abuse, murder or manslaughter, or child pornography. Specifically, for Medicaid expanded states that provide coverage to these categories of illegal immigrants, the amendment would lower the federal reimbursement rate for the expansion population from 90 percent to 80 percent. Supporters contend states should not be rewarded with an enhanced federal match for policies that prioritize benefits for violent illegal immigrants over citizens and lawful residents, especially when Medicaid is already strained by waste, improper payments, and growing long-term costs.

The Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) amendment #2382 to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" would eliminate the bill''s program of qualified elementary and secondary education scholarships for public, private, or religious schools. The underlying scholarship framework is designed to let parents direct education resources toward the setting and services that best fit their child, rather than forcing families into one assigned system. By wiping out the program, the amendment would preserve the status quo where families have fewer options when schools fail to meet students'' needs and where bureaucracy and special interests face little competitive pressure to improve.

Blocking Federal Workforce Reforms by Creating a Veteran "Layoff Shield" that Protects Bureaucracy and Preserves Wasteful Jobs

The Kaine motion to commit would send the "One Big Beautiful Bill" back to committee with instructions to add a provision prohibiting any federal agency, on or after January 20, 2025, from terminating more than 1 percent of its employees if any of the terminated employees is a veteran, unless the agency submits a detailed report to Congress at least 60 days in advance identifying the positions, number of employees, and the agency components affected. While framed as protecting veterans, the motion would function as a sweeping procedural barrier to federal downsizing because veterans make up more than 30 percent of the federal workforce, compared to roughly 6 percent of the overall workforce. Opponents argued this is an attempt to block efficiency efforts like DOGE by making it practically impossible for agencies to reduce headcount without political delays, even when positions are unnecessary or duplicative. They also noted veterans already receive hiring and retention preferences under existing law, and that taxpayer-funded jobs should not be preserved simply as a jobs program when the federal government is running enormous deficits and carrying a $39 trillion national debt.

Empowering Parents and Making Homeschooling More Achievable by Expanding the Teacher Expense Deduction to Homeschool Educators

The Sen.

Most notably, the amendment expands eligibility to include homeschool educators, allowing parents who teach their children at home to deduct qualifying education expenses as well up to the $600 limit. Supporters argued that homeschooling is one of the clearest expressions of parental rights and a direct check on government control over education. They also noted that making homeschooling more achievable provides major fiscal benefits to taxpayers by reducing pressure on public systems and avoiding higher government education spending, while giving families more freedom to pursue learning that fits their child''s needs and values.

The Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) amendment #2817 to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" would strike the bill''s provision limiting certain Medicaid payments. The underlying language was designed to rein in inflated Medicaid payment arrangements – often structured through state-directed payments and other supplemental payments – that allow states to engineer higher payouts on paper while shifting the costs onto federal taxpayers. Opponents warned these payment schemes function like a money-laundering pipeline inside Medicaid, rewarding politically connected hospitals and special interests while doing little to improve access or outcomes for patients. They also argued the system is routinely used to enrich union leadership and entrenched health-care bureaucracies by locking in higher spending streams and wage structures funded by taxpayers, rather than forcing reforms that prioritize beneficiaries.

The House-passed version of the bill eliminated these subsidies entirely, while the Senate version only partially rolled them back; this amendment would have completed the rollback by ending the remaining wind and solar credits. These credits have functioned as corporate welfare by steering investment toward projects built around federal tax advantages rather than reliability and consumer demand, enriching a subsidy sector that lobbies to keep the carveouts permanent.

The Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) amendment #2696 to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" would extend the enhanced Obamacare premium tax credits and raise the top individual income tax rate from 37 percent to 39.6 percent for taxpayers with income of $5,000,000 ($10,000,000 married). These COVID-era subsidy boosts, created in 2021 and later extended by the Inflation Reduction Act only through 2025, removed the 400 percent of the federal poverty level cap on eligibility, allowing situations in which families earning up to $600,000 can receive taxpayer-funded subsidies. Opponents of the amendment argue the program is rife with fraud and waste, and insurers have been enriched because the enhanced subsidies are effectively paid directly to them. Making this "temporary" subsidy expansion permanent would further lock in an open-ended transfer system that grows federal control of healthcare and drives long-term spending and debt.

Against GOP
The Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) amendment #2435 to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" would expand government control of healthcare by adding a major Medicare benefit expansion and escalating the Inflation Reduction Act''s drug-pricing scheme. On benefits, it would add Medicare coverage for dental, vision, and hearing services beginning January 1, 2028, including routine exams and cleanings, major dental work, dentures, eyeglasses, and hearing aids. On drugs, it would worsen the IRA''s price control regime by nearly tripling the number of drugs Medicare is required to "negotiate," meaning more medicines would be subjected to government coercion backed by massive excise-tax style penalties. It also codifies a Most Favored Nation-style price control scheme that pegs U.S. drug prices to a median price in other countries, importing foreign rationing and allowing international systems to effectively shape what treatments Americans can access. Opponents argued the amendment would grow entitlement spending, expand federal micromanagement of medical decisions, and undermine innovation and patient access by spreading coercive price caps across a much wider share of the drug market.

The Warren amendment would strike the bill''s provision reducing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau''s funding cap from 12 percent to 6.5 percent, preserving the CFPB''s unusually insulated funding stream outside the normal appropriations process. The underlying bill''s reduction still leaves the agency with substantial resources to carry out its statutory mandate, and the cap continues to grow each year as it is adjusted for inflation. Opponents of the Warren amendment argued the CFPB has become a powerful, unaccountable regulator that uses "regulation by enforcement," targets disfavored industries, and operates with minimal democratic checks, and that reducing its automatic funding is a measured step toward curbing bureaucratic overreach while still allowing legitimate consumer protection work.

The American Cargo for American Ships Act, introduced by Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA), would require that 100% of equipment, materials, and commodities procured, furnished, or financed by the Department of Transportation and shipped on ocean vessels be transported on U.S.-flagged commercial vessels. The mandate would apply both to DOT''s own cargo and to cargo moved by recipients using DOT funding, subject to an availability and "fair and reasonable rates" standard. Current cargo preference laws generally require a minimum percentage of federally financed cargo to move on U.S.-flagged vessels, and this bill would ratchet that requirement up to full coverage for DOT-related cargo. According to opponents, the measure is a government-imposed shipping preference that functions as corporate welfare for a favored industry, reduces competition, and increases costs for taxpayers and infrastructure projects by forcing shippers and grant recipients into higher-priced, limited-capacity options.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bob Latta (R-OH), requires the National Petroleum Council to publish a report on U.S. petrochemical refineries. The report must address the role refineries play in U.S. energy security, opportunities and risks related to expanding capacity, and identify federal or state executive actions that have contributed to a decline in refining capacity. It must also provide recommendations to increase refining capacity. According to supporters, this is a needed step toward identifying the government-driven barriers and policy decisions that have made it harder to expand domestic refining, leaving families and employers exposed to price spikes and supply disruptions.

Passed
Against GOP
The "Improving Access to Small Business Information Act", introduced by Rep. Young Kim (R-CA), would exempt the SEC''s Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation from key requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act when it gathers information from the public. In effect, it would allow the office to conduct surveys and other information collections without going through the normal Office of Management and Budget review process and without the usual public-facing safeguards, such as control numbers and related notice requirements. This matters because the Advocate''s office has a record of prioritizing "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" throughout its operations and has used outreach and feedback efforts to advance DEI-focused initiatives, especially during the Biden Administration (detailed in the Office''s annual reports). Opponents warn this change – under the guise of "improving access" – helps empower unelected bureaucrats to run politically charged information-gathering campaigns while bypassing OMB oversight and reducing the public''s ability to track or challenge what the Office is doing.

Expanding Investment Opportunities and Cutting SEC Red Tape through the "Increasing Investor Opportunities Act".
View Full Analysis
Passed
With GOP
The "Increasing Investor Opportunities Act", sponsored by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), is a capital formation package also referred to as the Incentivizing New Ventures and Economic Strength Through Capital Formation (INVEST) Act of 2025. Among its central reforms, the bill amends the Investment Company Act of 1940 to give publicly offered closed-end funds greater authority to invest in private funds and limits the ability of federal regulators and national securities exchanges to restrict the listing and trading of these funds based on those investments. The bill also includes multiple capital markets reforms intended to modernize SEC rules, streamline disclosures, and remove barriers that make it harder for entrepreneurs and small businesses to raise money. According to House Financial Services Committee leaders, the package is designed to cut red tape, empower small businesses, and expand opportunities for Americans to invest more freely.

According to supporters of the amendment, these governance structures are already widely discussed by investors and market analysts, and the amendment is intended to help prevent another federal paperwork regime that increases legal costs, invites enforcement risk, and makes it harder for growing companies to access public markets.

The Fair Investment Opportunities for Professional Experts Act, introduced by Rep.

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.

The Promoting Opportunities for Non-Traditional Capital Formation Act, introduced by Rep.

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.

Specifically, the bill requires state-regulated electric utilities that use integrated resource planning to ensure adequate reliable availability of electric energy over a 10-year period by maintaining or procuring electricity from "reliable generation facilities." The bill defines reliable generation facilities as those capable of continuous generation for at least 30 days with adequate on-site fuel or contractual fuel supply, able to operate during emergency and severe weather conditions, and able to provide essential grid services such as frequency and voltage support.

It also creates disclosure and compliance requirements intended to bring more transparency and accountability to digital asset markets.

The bill would require participating federal and state agencies to follow FERC''s schedule and conduct reviews concurrently, and it directs agencies to consider appropriate environmental data gathered by aerial or other remote means. It would also set limits on how long the process can drag on after the NEPA review is complete and would shift certain Clean Water Act review responsibilities into a coordinated framework rather than allowing separate, open-ended processes to stall projects. According to supporters, these reforms are needed to cut red tape, stop permit gamesmanship, and move critical energy infrastructure forward so families and employers are not hit with higher costs and avoidable reliability risks.

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.

Supporters argue earmarks have become a vehicle for political corruption and branding, where politicians use taxpayer dollars to buy goodwill and campaign material rather than prioritize limited, constitutional government.

The Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) amendment #3447 to H.R. 3944 (Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, and Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2026) would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to publish a quarterly report tied to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The amendment is in response to a reform implemented by the Trump administration correcting a previous practice whereby veterans lose their Second Amendment rights if they seek assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to have their financial affairs managed. Prior to the reform, when a fiduciary was appointed to help manage the financial affairs of a veteran, the VA automatically reports the veteran to the NICS and the veteran loses his or her right to have a firearm. This amendment would force the VA to report how many veterans would have been reported to NICS had the Trump reform not been implemented, and among those veterans, how many firearm suicides occurred in the prior quarter. Opponents to the amendment noted that veterans who are found by a competent judicial authority to be a danger to themselves or others are already reportable under current law, and there is no evidence that simply needing a fiduciary to help manage finances makes someone inherently dangerous.

Cutting $4.37 Billion in Agriculture Pork and Welfare Spending that Subsidizes Special Interests and Socializes Costs onto Taxpayers
View Full Analysis
Undefined
With GOP
The Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) amendment #3113 to H.R. 3944 (Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, and Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2026) would have cut approximately $4.37 billion from agriculture, conservation, rural development, research, and nutrition-related accounts, and place spending levels much closer to the budget proposed by President Trump. Supporters argued much of this funding functions as pork and corporate welfare that enriches select interests and industries while shifting costs onto taxpayers who receive little benefit. They pointed to examples such as nearly a half billion dollars for agriculture research and education initiatives that should be handled by the private sector, along with hundreds of millions in rural development and welfare-style programs that have become permanent subsidies instead of temporary assistance.

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.

By removing this funding, the amendment would narrow the Pentagon''s role back toward core national defense responsibilities. According to the sponsor, this change helps ensure defense dollars are focused on America''s warfighters and military readiness, rather than overseas projects that blur the line between defense and foreign aid.

The bill H.R. 4216, the Made-in-America Defense Act, introduced by Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC), would require the Department of State, in coordination with the Department of Defense, to review every year the "FMS-only list" of defense articles and services that must be sold through the government-run Foreign Military Sales (FMS) process instead of faster Direct Commercial Sales (DCS). The bill would increase transparency by making that restricted-items list public and would require agencies to report to Congress on which items could safely be moved to commercial sales, including how long transfers take under FMS versus DCS and how the restrictions affect U.S. competitiveness. Under current law, certain defense items are routed through slow government channels even when trusted commercial avenues could deliver equipment more quickly. According to supporters, this bill cuts Washington red tape so allies can get vital defense equipment sooner and more qualified American manufacturers can compete to supply them, while maintaining national security safeguards.

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.

Opponents of the motion argued the rescissions were necessary to defund Catholic Relief Services and other religious-affiliated entities that were unlawfully using taxpayer dollars to help illegal immigrants avoid federal enforcement, effectively turning federal spending into a pipeline that undermines the rule of law.

In other words, it would preserve nearly all taxpayer funding for public broadcasting while making only a token reduction. Opponents of the amendment argued this carveout would gut one of the most visible waste-cutting provisions in the rescissions package and keep federal subsidies flowing to taxpayer-funded media that should stand on its own. They also warned it sends the wrong message at a time when Washington is finally being pressed to claw back nonessential spending, because it protects a politically favored institution while families are being told to accept higher debt, higher prices, and a government that refuses to shrink.

The rescission was designed to stop U.S. taxpayer dollars from continuing to flow through overseas global health accounts that have been used to support abortion-related programming and to subsidize organizations that promote abortion abroad. Keeping this funding intact entrenches a politically driven spending stream overseas while Washington continues to borrow and spend at historic levels.

Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) amendment #2898 to the Schmitt substitute to H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act of 2025, would reduce the amount rescinded from the Assistance to Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia account, blocking the package''s $460,000,000 rescission. This account has funded a wide range of nonessential overseas initiatives that have little to do with core U.S. responsibilities and are difficult for taxpayers to track or audit. Examples highlighted by opponents include $300,000 for promoting tourism in the Caucasus, $832,000 to fund social media mentorship in Serbia and Belarus, and $5,000,000 for "green transportation and logistics."

The "Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act of 2025," also known as the "CLEAN DC Act," sponsored by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), repeals the District of Columbia''s "Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022." These anti-police policies significantly restricted the ability of police to fight crime by limiting their usage of force and subjecting them to high levels of liability. Due to the criminal justice reforms implemented by DC''s government, violent crime in the District rose 39% from 2023 to 2024.

Restoring Constitutional Accountability for D.C. Judges by Ending an Unaccountable Nominating Commission
View Full Analysis
Passed
With GOP
This bill, introduced by Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), would amend the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to terminate the District of Columbia Judicial Nomination Commission and allow the President to nominate judges directly to the D.C. Superior Court and D.C. Court of Appeals, subject to Senate confirmation. Under the current system, the President is limited to selecting nominees from lists provided by the commission, which also plays a role in the selection of chief judges. Supporters argued that the existing process has slowed appointments, contributed to prolonged vacancies and court backlogs, and weakened public safety in the nation''s capital at a time when D.C. courts need to move cases and hold criminals accountable. They argued the bill would restore the constitutionally grounded appointment process, remove an unnecessary bureaucratic gatekeeper, and ensure the federal government can fill judicial vacancies more quickly and responsibly.

Passed
With GOP
The "DC Juvenile Sentencing Reform Act" sponsored by Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), lowers the age at which a minor in the District of Columbia may be tried as an adult for certain criminal offenses to 14 years of age. The bill changes D.C.''s criminal justice framework so prosecutors can move serious cases involving younger teens out of the juvenile system and into adult court when the alleged conduct meets the bill''s covered offenses. According to supporters, this is a public safety measure aimed at deterring violent crime and stopping the revolving-door treatment of dangerous offenders who can exploit juvenile protections. The bill follows a case where a 15-year-old performed a heinous murder, received DC''s maximum juvenile sentence, yet is set to be released once she turns 21.

The bill rolls back limits enacted under D.C.''s Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022 and instead generally requires officers to pursue fleeing suspects when there are no other means of apprehension. Under the new standard, officers would refrain from a pursuit only if it would be futile, would pose an unacceptable risk of harm to someone other than the suspect, or the suspect can be apprehended more effectively or expeditiously by other means. Due to the "criminal justice reforms" implemented by DC''s government, violent crime in the District rose 39% from 2023 to 2024.

John Thune (R-SD) amendment #3946 to amendment #3945 to H.R. 5371, the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026. In practice, this vote became a fight over whether Congress should use procedural games to introduce an amendment that would box in the executive branch. Sen. Merkley was attempting to force the Trump administration to spend every dollar appropriated within the $27 billion dollar package, thus halting a practice deployed by the administration to not spend on items or programs identified as wasteful, so that at the end of the year, Congress could rescind the funds. This motion undermines efforts to shrink bureaucracy and stop the "use it or lose it" spending spree that drives enormous government waste.

Expanding Affordable Health Coverage Options Beyond Obamacare by Empowering Workers and Small Businesses with More Choice

The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, introduced by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), would make several changes intended to lower health insurance costs and expand coverage options. The bill would expand access to Association Health Plans, codify and strengthen employer-defined contribution arrangements for workers to buy coverage (called CHOICE arrangements), and clarify that stop-loss insurance is not health insurance coverage so more small and mid-sized employers can self-insure. It also includes new transparency requirements for pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and appropriates cost-sharing reduction payments beginning in 2027 to help stabilize the individual market. According to supporters, these reforms move away from one-size-fits-all Obamacare mandates by expanding private coverage options, reducing hidden costs in the drug supply chain, and lowering premiums for families and employers who have been priced out of affordable plans.

The bill would also extend through 2029 the requirement that the President report annually to Congress on identified foreign opioid traffickers and any sanctions imposed. In addition, it would require additional analysis, including evaluating and publishing costs and benefits, before issuing certain economic regulations under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act tied to a national emergency related to international drug trafficking. According to supporters, these steps would help confront the flow of deadly fentanyl into the United States while adding transparency and guardrails to executive-branch economic actions.

The "Midnight Rules Relief Act," introduced by Rep.

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.

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.

The "Small Business Procurement and Utilization Reform Act of 2025" (SPUR Act), introduced by Rep.

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.

Specifically, the bill directs Interior to reissue the final rule published on November 3, 2020 titled "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) From the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife". While originally enacted in 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California vacated the rule on February 10, 2022. As a result, the gray wolf reattained the protection status it had prior to the rule''s promulgation. This bill will ensure that the wolf is finally removed from the list by preventing any additional judicial review.

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.

The bill would also require DHS to report on schools receiving DHS funding while maintaining these relationships. The goal is to prevent U.S. taxpayer dollars from subsidizing foreign influence operations and research partnerships that can enable espionage, technology transfer, and propaganda on American campuses. According to supporters, the federal government should not fund institutions that accept CCP-linked programs and gifts while simultaneously receiving homeland security dollars, and Congress must protect sensitive research, critical technologies, and national security from exploitation.

Strengthening Election Integrity in the Nation's Capital by Prohibiting Noncitizen Voting
View Full Analysis
Passed
With GOP
The bill, introduced by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), would prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in District of Columbia elections and repeal the District''s law that allows certain noncitizens to vote in local elections. Federal law already bars noncitizens from voting in federal elections, but D.C.''s policy extends voting privileges for local contests based on residency rather than citizenship. The bill would restore a clear citizenship standard for participation in D.C.''s electoral process and prevent local officials from redefining who may vote in the nation''s capital. According to supporters, voting is a defining right and responsibility of citizenship, and allowing noncitizens to vote dilutes the voice of lawful citizens, weakens confidence in elections, and erodes the principle that political authority flows from the consent of the governed.

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.

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.

The resolution highlights that the alleged attacker was an Egyptian national who entered on a tourist visa, filed an asylum application after arrival, and remained in the country after his authorized stay expired. According to supporters, the attack is a horrific tragedy that reflects a broader rise in antisemitic violence fueled by extremist propaganda and anti-Israel agitation, and it underscores the need for stronger enforcement against visa overstays, better vetting, and full coordination among law enforcement agencies so violent extremists are identified and stopped before they can strike.

The underlying resolution followed McIver''s conduct during a May 2025 confrontation at the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility in Newark and argued that her continued service on the Homeland Security Committee raised serious concerns because that panel oversees federal immigration enforcement and related national security matters. The vote also came after broad media attention surrounding the incident and the criminal case tied to her alleged interference with federal officers. According to supporters of the resolution, the House should not shield a member from accountability when she is accused of obstructing federal immigration enforcement and then continue allowing her to serve on the very committee charged with overseeing that work. They argued that doing so undermines public trust, weakens respect for the rule of law, and sends the message that members of Congress are held to a different standard than the officers carrying out federal law.

Bill Hagerty (R-TN), would establish a federal regulatory framework for "payment stablecoins," including who may issue them, what reserves must back them, and what compliance, reporting, and supervisory requirements apply. The bill would concentrate stablecoin issuance inside a permitted, heavily regulated ecosystem and tie the day-to-day use of stablecoins to strict identity verification and ongoing compliance obligations. While stablecoins are often marketed as a private alternative to a central bank digital currency, this framework can still produce a government-shaped digital money system because the rails would be built around surveillance-style controls and permissioned access. Opponents argue the bill effectively enables a "layered" CBDC by pushing Americans into regulated intermediaries, leaving self-custody and the right to hold and manage digital assets outside those intermediaries unclear and unprotected. They also warn that the compliance model encourages stablecoin issuers to rely on large-scale data aggregation and AI analytics vendors to monitor transactions and user behavior, raising concerns that surveillance tools commonly used in government contracting could be repurposed to track, profile, or restrict lawful financial activity.

The amendment focuses on how Washington calculates and justifies locality adjustments that drive federal payroll costs and are often treated as automatic. Supporters argue the current system relies on opaque assumptions and outdated labor-market comparisons that can overstate pay gaps and lock in higher compensation long after conditions change. They contend this review-and-pilot approach is a practical way to bring sunlight and accountability to a costly pay-setting process and test better models before policymakers rubber-stamp continued growth in federal compensation.

Opponents to this amendment argue it would make it harder for President Trump to use available tools to restore law and order in cities and support border security operations, even when civilian agencies request help and the military is acting in a support role. They also contend the amendment is aimed at obstructing recent Trump administration efforts to reassert enforcement after failed criminal justice reforms that contributed to spikes in violent crime and after years of federal nonenforcement of immigration law.

The Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) amendment #3761 to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, would amend the bill by inserting the language of the "End the Fed''s Big Bank Bailout Act". This language would end the Federal Reserve''s authority to pay banks interest on excess reserves, specifically Interest on Reserve Balances (IORB) and the Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreement (ONRRP). These practices began in 2008 as tools the Fed said it needed to control the money supply and prevent runaway inflation while it dramatically expanded its balance sheet during the financial crisis and aftermath. Supporters of ending these payments note that what once averaged roughly $5 billion has grown to more than $200 billion in recent years, functioning as a massive, risk-free transfer that enriches financial institutions while the Fed''s interventions continue to distort the broader economy. They argue the Fed''s balance sheet expansion through quantitative easing and related policies over the last two decades has become the largest ponzi scheme in world history, and that Congress must take drastic steps to confront this catastrophe.

Opponents argued this kind of blunt reduction which fails to identify any specific cuts, could weaken readiness and deterrence at a time of serious global threats, while also turning the NDAA into a vehicle for a major domestic policy expansion.

Blocking National Guard Support for Border Security and to Restore Law and Order in American Cities
View Full Analysis

Against GOP
The Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) amendment #3872 to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, would amend section 502(f) of title 32, United States Code, to require the consent of the Governor of each state where an operation would take place before National Guard members could be ordered to full-time duty in support of operations requested by the President or Secretary of Defense. It would also require the consent of the Mayor of the District of Columbia for such operations in Washington, D.C. Supporters framed this as a federalism "clarification," but in practice it would give governors a de facto veto over National Guard support missions that help enforce immigration law, strengthen border operations, or stabilize cities during periods of unrest. Opponents warned it would reward state-level obstruction and make it harder for President Trump to restore law and order after failed criminal justice reform policies and nonenforcement of immigration law contributed to spikes in disorder and strain on local communities.

Scheduling All Fentanyl Substances as Class 1 Drugs and Closing Traffickers'' Loopholes to Strengthen Enforcement Against the Epidemic
View Full Analysis
Passed
With GOP
The Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act (HALT Fentanyl Act), introduced by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), would permanently place fentanyl-related substances as a class into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. The bill is intended to prevent traffickers from evading prosecution by making small chemical changes to create new fentanyl analogues that fall outside current enforcement tools. It also includes provisions aimed at supporting legitimate research by streamlining certain registration requirements for researchers working with controlled substances while maintaining penalties for illicit trafficking. According to supporters, this measure closes a dangerous loophole that has been exploited by criminal networks fueling overdose deaths, strengthens law enforcement''s ability to prosecute fentanyl traffickers, and helps protect communities by ensuring new fentanyl variants are covered under federal law rather than playing constant catch-up.

Fueling the Out-of-Control Growth of Obamacare by Extending the Enhanced Subsidies through 2028 at a Cost of $350 Billion
View Full Analysis
Passed
Against GOP
This vote (motion to invoke cloture) advances the "Lower Health Care Costs Act", sponsored by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The bill would continue funding the "temporary" enhanced Obamacare subsidies for an additional three years, through the end of 2028. These COVID-era subsidy boosts, created in 2021 and later extended by the Inflation Reduction Act only through 2025, removed the 400 percent of the federal poverty level cap on eligibility, allowing situations in which families earning up to $600,000 can receive taxpayer-funded subsidies. Opponents of the extension argue the program is rife with fraud and waste, and that insurers have been enriched because the enhanced subsidies are effectively paid directly to them, while taxpayers are stuck with the bill. Overall, these enhanced subsidies are projected to add roughly $350 billion to the national debt, on top of the enormous costs of the underlying Obamacare subsidy system.

The bill also authorizes states to sue the federal government for certain immigration enforcement decisions or failures, including cases involving the release of illegal immigrants from custody, parole abuses, or failures to detain individuals ordered removed. According to supporters, this is a direct response to an enforcement breakdown where repeat offenders are cycled back into communities instead of being held, leaving families and local law enforcement to deal with the consequences.

Strengthening Mandatory Detention by Adding Death and Serious-Injury Crimes to Stop Criminal Illegal Immigrants from Disappearing Before Justice

With GOP
The Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) amendment #8 to the "Laken Riley Act" would expand the bill''s mandatory detention requirements by including crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury in the list of offenses that, when committed by an illegal immigrant, require detention by immigration authorities. This change is intended to prevent illegal immigrants accused of the most severe harms from being released back into communities while immigration proceedings and criminal cases play out. Supporters highlighted cases like Sarah Root, who was killed by Edwin Mejia, an illegal immigrant who was drunk-driving with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit, and who had a history of repeated driving offenses and skipping court dates. Even after the killing, ICE declined to take him into custody under enforcement priority guidance, and he posted bond and vanished before her family could even lay her to rest. The amendment is designed to ensure immigration enforcement does not repeat these failures by requiring detention when illegal immigrants commit the kinds of crimes that leave families devastated and communities less safe.

This vote was on cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 9, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, sponsored by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL). The bill would provide that, for purposes of determining compliance with Title IX in athletics, sex is recognized based solely on a person''s reproductive biology and genetics at birth. It is designed to stop federal agencies and school systems from redefining "sex" in ways that allow males to compete in women''s and girls'' sports, undermining fairness, safety, and equal athletic opportunity. Supporters argued this restores common-sense compliance incentives by setting a clear, objective standard, protecting women''s scholarships and records, and preventing federally driven gender-ideology mandates from overriding parents, schools, and biological reality.

This vote was on the motion to proceed to S.Con.Res. 22, a concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035, sponsored by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). The resolution, often described as Sen. Paul''s "Six Penny Plan," would reduce projected federal spending by roughly six cents on every dollar to reach balance within five years. It is designed to force Congress to adopt enforceable budget targets and stop treating trillion-dollar deficits as normal. Supporters argue the country cannot survive endless borrowing, skyrocketing interest costs, and a federal government that grows on autopilot while families pay the price through inflation, higher taxes, and fewer opportunities. They contend this is a necessary course-correction that finally puts Washington on record about whether it is willing to cut waste, reform bloated programs, and stop passing the bill to the next generation.

While the label sounds pro-law-enforcement, this kind of reserve-fund language functions as a broad permission slip for future spending packages that can be loaded with ideological conditions and routed through federal grant pipelines. Opponents warned these grant structures routinely end up channeling taxpayer dollars to left-wing entities for politicized "racial justice" initiatives – often through intermediaries and partner organizations – rather than focusing on core public safety. They pointed to examples like the Vera Institute for Justice and other Soros-aligned criminal justice reform groups that push prison DEI-style initiatives and policies that weaken public safety.

The Sen.

While framed as consumer protection, this is the familiar Washington talking point used to justify new federal price caps and expanded government control over drug pricing. In practice, amendments like this are designed to grease the skids for more aggressive Inflation Reduction Act-style "negotiation" and other draconian price control policies that punish innovation and reduce long-term access to new cures. The Inflation Reduction Act''s approach, including inflation rebate penalties, functions like a backdoor price cap that distorts markets, encourages higher launch prices, reduces discounts, and tightens access as manufacturers try to manage government-imposed exposure. Over time, these policies push the system further toward centralized control of medicine and away from patient-centered innovation.

The underlying Biden rule requires offshore oil and gas lessees and operators to submit an archaeological report with certain exploration or development plans submitted to BOEM for approval, rather than requiring such reports only when officials have reason to believe a resource may be present. According to supporters, repealing the rule would stop Washington from layering new compliance hurdles onto offshore development in ways that delay projects, increase costs, and discourage domestic production. They argue the rule is another example of regulators using paperwork and process to choke off American energy, leaving families and small businesses to pay higher prices while the U.S. becomes more dependent on unstable foreign supply.

According to supporters, the Biden-era approach functioned as a backdoor attempt to restrict lawful bank mergers through delay and bureaucracy, making it harder for community banks to combine, raise capital, and compete – especially as compliance costs and consolidation pressures grow. They argue the CRA repeal restores predictable, limited rules and stops unelected regulators from using discretionary process changes to reshape the banking marketplace without Congress.

This vote was on the motion to discharge S.J.Res. 59 from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The resolution, sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), would direct the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces for hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran unless Congress authorizes those hostilities through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. The motion followed President Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Repealing Trump EPA Reforms that Loosened Overreaching Regulations on Coal-Fired Power Plants
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
This joint resolution would nullify the Environmental Protection Agency interim final rule issued under the Trump Administration titled "Emissions Budget and Allowance Allocations for Indiana Under the Revised Cross-State Air Pollution Rule Update" published on May 20, 2025. The EPA rule raised the cap on emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from coal-fired power plants in Indiana during the summertime ozone season, which runs from May through September. Supporters of the Trump administration reform noted it is meant to loosen overreaching regulations that restrict reliable electricity generation, raise compliance costs, and make energy more expensive for families and manufacturers. They also warned that scrapping the rule would reimpose tighter federal controls that punish coal-heavy states, invite more lawsuits and regulatory whiplash, and keep the power sector trapped in ever changing Washington-driven mandates.

Terminating Biden's Crony Owl-Killing Scheme that Imposes $1.35 Billion in Costs on Taxpayers with Miniscule Benefit
View Full Analysis

With GOP
This vote (motion to proceed) advances a resolution sponsored by Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), which would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) record of decision for the "Barred Owl Management Strategy" covering Washington, Oregon, and California that was issued under the Biden administration on September 6, 2024. The underlying federal strategy entails the lethal removal of 450,000 barred owls across large areas of the Pacific Northwest as part of a long-running effort to protect the northern spotted owl. The plan is estimated to cost $1.35 billion, and FWS''s own study concluded that even if operations were successful, the survival chances of spotted owls would improve by just 10 percent. Opponents of the plan argue that organizing "owl killings" is not the proper role of the federal government, and such measure infringes states rights - particularly Washington state that opposes the plan. They also warn the strategy reflects the worst kind of crony policymaking, tied to a scheme advanced in part by timber interests seeking to bypass Endangered Species Act constraints and increase harvesting in the region.

This resolution, sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify the Federal Communications Commission rule titled "Addressing the Homework Gap Through the E-Rate Program," published on August 20, 2024. The rule allows schools and libraries to use E-Rate discounts to provide Wi-Fi hotspots and mobile service for off-campus use by students, school staff, and library patrons. Opponents of the rule argued it unlawfully expands the Universal Service Fund beyond its statutory mission, turning a targeted connectivity program into an uncapped subsidy with costs pushed onto families and small businesses through higher fees. They also highlighted that the rule did not require parental consent and lacked meaningful guardrails, while duplicating other federal broadband efforts and increasing the risk of waste, fraud, and abuse – especially as the USF contribution factor was already at record-high levels.

Reimposing Draconian Energy Regulations by Terminating Trump's EO Declaring an Energy Emergency to Unleash Domestic Production.
View Full Analysis
Undefined
Against GOP
This joint resolution, sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), would utilize the National Emergencies Act to terminate the national emergency relating to energy that was declared on January 20, 2025, by President Trump in Executive Order 14156. Trump''s emergency declaration directed federal agencies to use all available means to accelerate energy and critical minerals actions, including permitting and approvals, under an all-of-government "energy emergency" approach. Supporters of Trump''s EO argue the declaration cuts through the permitting maze and bureaucratic delays that have choked off domestic production and kept prices higher for working families. They contend the administration is using lawful authorities to speed up approvals, expand supply, and reduce reliance on hostile foreign producers, while opponents are trying to reimpose red tape that protects the status quo.

The motion to proceed to S.J.Res. 76, introduced by Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Trump EPA rule titled "Extension of Deadlines in Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review Final Rule" published on July 31, 2025. The Trump EPA rule extended multiple compliance and implementation deadlines tied to the Biden administration''s sweeping oil and natural gas methane regulations, including deadlines affecting new and modified facilities and state implementation timelines for existing sources. This CRA would force regulated entities back onto an accelerated schedule, pulling forward major compliance requirements and empowering regulators to tighten the screws on domestic energy production. Supporters of the Trump EPA extension argue it provides necessary breathing room to implement complex mandates lawfully and realistically, rather than rushing into a regulatory cliff that threatens reliability, jobs, and affordability for families.

Against GOP
This joint resolution, sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), would terminate the national emergency declared to impose duties on articles imported from Brazil under Executive Order 14323, issued on July 30, 2025. Supporters argue these emergency-based tariffs function as a new tax that was never approved through the normal constitutional process, despite inflicting real-world harm on American businesses that rely on Brazilian imports and inputs. They warn the duties squeeze supply chains, raise costs for manufacturers and retailers, and ultimately drive up prices for families, while allowing Washington to impose major economic penalties by executive decree rather than by law. Notably, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs and struck down these emergency-tariff actions as unconstitutional, specifically identifying the IEEPA-based tariff framework used across the executive orders at issue, including the Brazil tariff order.

This joint resolution, introduced by Sen. Angus King (I-ME), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Trump HHS policy titled "Policy on Adhering to the Text of the Administrative Procedure Act" that was published on March 3, 2025. The Trump HHS policy rescinded the so-called "Richardson Waiver" approach and returned the Department to the Administrative Procedure Act''s framework, which generally allows agencies to act more efficiently on certain matters involving grants, benefits, contracts, and internal administration unless notice-and-comment is required by law. This CRA resolution would undo the Trump reforms and force HHS back into a process that can invite delay, litigation, and stakeholder gamesmanship before the Department can implement needed changes. Opponents warn this measure would obstruct the Trump administration''s ability to cut waste and unwind bloated bureaucracy, including efforts to terminate thousands of grants and rein in billions in questionable spending, by "slow-walking" reforms through prolonged procedural hurdles that were never democratically adopted in the first place.

This motion to discharge S.J. Res. 83 from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee would have brought to the floor a joint resolution, introduced by Sen.

The underlying resolution applies to military action against foreign terrorist organizations or specially designated global terrorists designated on or after February 20, 2025, as well as non-state organizations engaged in the promotion, trafficking, or distribution of illegal drugs and related activities. The resolution was largely a response to the Trump administration''s use of U.S. military force against suspected drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean after the administration designated several cartels and related groups as foreign terrorist organizations earlier in 2025. Opponents of this resolution argued it would hinder the President''s ability to act against violent narco-terrorists attacking the United States through deadly drug trafficking and would undercut his constitutional duty as commander in chief to protect American lives.

This joint resolution, sponsored by Sen.

Supporters argue that tariffs are a tax, and only Congress holds the constitutional power of the purse to impose taxes, not the executive branch acting through emergency authorities. They warned these tariffs inflict significant financial harm on American businesses that rely on imported inputs and ultimately drive-up costs for consumers at the checkout counter. The resolution would end the emergency underpinning the tariff regime and reassert Congress''s role over major tax and trade decisions. Notably, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Learning Resources v. Trump that these emergency-tariff actions are unconstitutional.

The measure targets a Biden-era decision that rewrote the congressionally mandated Coastal Plain program within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by placing large portions of the program area off-limits and layering on new restrictions that limit leasing and energy development. Supporters argue the administration used an agency record of decision to effectively nullify what Congress required, throttling responsible resource development that could strengthen U.S. energy security and reduce dependence on hostile foreign producers. They also contend the Biden restrictions undercut Alaska jobs, state revenues, and long-term affordability for families by constraining domestic supply while empowering federal bureaucrats to decide winners and losers in American energy.

The resolution was pushed in response to the Trump administration''s deportation cooperation with President Nayib Bukele''s government, including transfers of alleged gang members and other deportees to El Salvador''s Terrorism Confinement Center. Opponents of the resolution argued that it was a misguided measure that would harm a key relationship with a regional ally that has reduced crime, helped stop illegal immigration, and assisted efforts to crack down on transnational gangs.

The "Eliminating Barriers to Rural Internet Development Grant Eligibility (E-Bridge) Act" sponsored by Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) would increase federal spending on broadband projects, particularly last-mile projects, which connect to homes and other buildings in "distressed communities". Specifically, the bill would make it easier to receive broadband grants from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) by allowing grant recipients to use in-kind donations, such as real property, to meet the cost sharing requirements. Such grants primarily enrich woke companies such as Comcast and provide them competitive advantages over satelite-based providers such as Elon Musk's Starlink internet. On January 20, 2025 President Trump signed an Executive Order that halted the dispursement of the $42.45 billion in funds for the BEAD (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment) program.

The "National Construction Safety Team Enhancement Act of 2024" sponsored by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) would expand the size and regulatory authority of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and increase agency spending by $5 million annually. Currently, the NIST is authorized to investigate the structural failure of a building that has resulted in substantial loss of life or that had the significant potential to cause a substantial loss of life. Under the bill, NIST's authority is expanded to now also investigate structural failures other than those involving buildings and to recommend related improvements to engineering standards and practices. President Trump's FY 2026 budget proposed a $325 million cut to NIST and hundreds of positions within the agency - including physical infrastructure - to eliminate waste.

View Full Analysis
Passed
Against GOP
The "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024" sponsored by Rep. John Carter (R-TX) is a $460 billion minibus funding several government agencies through Fiscal Year 2024. Overall spending levels are generally flat compared to the prior year with increases for some agencies and decreases for others. For example, the bill provides a 10% cut to the EPA, 7% cut to ATF, and a 6% cut to the FBI. However, the bill continues to fund the Essential Air Service program and contains countless earmarks which fund pet projects of lawmakers, especially at the Army Corps of Engineers where spending is increased 7-fold. The bill also provides increased spending for a number of welfare programs such as WIC, plus $3.3 billion for community development block grants. Furthermore, hundreds of millions is directed to fight climate change through carbon capture. Note: A Democratic lawmaker who opposed the bill was recorded as "X" due to the fact their opposition was not the spending but rather minor provisions pertaining to gun control.

According to the sponsor, "the more illegal aliens and noncitizens in your State or district, the greater your voting power in Congress and Presidential elections. This not only destroys the principle of one person-one vote by making some American's votes more powerful than others, but it encourages illegal immigration in sanctuary cities as a way to increase political power".

The Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) amendment #1626 to the "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024" would cut $110 million in spending on administrative costs at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) pertaining to the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program. According to the sponsor, "this is a good government amendment" as only $226 million of the $337 million for BEAD administrative costs has been justified. The amendment also cuts funding for a new initiative related to "Algorithmic Justice" which is undefined. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, $42.45 billion was provided to the BEAD Program for high-speed internet access expansion, providing significant subsidies to companies such as Comcast. The private sector and free market are best equipped to determine where broadband is most needed and which expansion projects are most economically viable. The BEAD program forces taxpayers to enrich woke corporations such as Comcast for infrastructure which is unnecessary due to significant advances in satellite technology from Comcast's competitors, such as Elon Musk's Starlink.

Against GOP
The "A Stronger Workforce for America Act" sponsored by Rep.

This bill continues to fuel wasteful spending and the central planning schemes of government bureaucrats which enrich select government-favored companies. President Trump's FY 2026 budget made substantial cuts to WIOA (over a quarter of the spending slashed) and consolidated programs into a “Make America Skilled Again” (MASA) block grant.

The "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act" sponsored by Rep.

The bill includes a provision which would allow TikTok to continue to operate if ByteDance sells the application to a company deemed acceptable by the President. According to the sponsor, this measure is necessary given the fact TikTok is owned by the Chinese and the potential for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to collect data on American users. TikTok has become a widely popular in America, with over 170 million monthly users. A TikTok ban across government platforms is reasonable considering national security, but ultimately it should be up to individual Americans to weigh the risks of TikTok and determine their usage - not politicians - absent a much more substantial threat to national security. Upon taking office in 2025, President Trump has signed a multitude of Executive Orders preventing the termination of TikTok.

Under the bill, tax-exempt entities would be barred from contributing to a political committee eight years from the date it received a contribution from a foreign national.

According to the sponsor, "removing the broadly written language in section 115 is the only way to prevent the delegation of nearly unlimited power over State energy sectors to the EPA bureaucrats and removes the ability of international organizations to meddle in our energy sector."

This rule forces all Federal contractors that do business worth more than $50 million with the Federal Government to disclose scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Furthermore, the rule forces companies to have their climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) which is connected to the New Venture Fund, a left-wing entity funded by George Soros.

The Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) amendment #3289 to the "Veterans Benefits Continuity and Accountability Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024" would rescind $2.9 billion in Department of Energy loan guarantees to pay for the provisions in the underlying bill. The bill is in response to the PACT Act (also known as the "burn pit bill") that was passed in 2022 and drastically expanded veteran healthcare coverages - which has now created a $3 billion budget shortfall. According to the sponsor, "Which is more important, subsidizing millionaire owners of green energy or paying for veterans' benefits? Why not take one to pay for the other?". President Trump's DOGE cut $3.7 billion in DOE grants in early 2025. This amendment serves as a step in the right direction in covering the cost of the disastrous PACT Act which is expected to cost taxpayers over $700 billion.

Fueling Out-of-Control Spending Through a Budget Bill Filled with Waste and Funding Earmarked for Pet Projects of Lawmakers.
View Full Analysis
Passed
Against GOP
The "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024" sponsored by Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) is a $460 billion minibus funding several government agencies through Fiscal Year 2024. Overall spending levels are generally flat compared to the prior year with increases for some agencies and decreases for others. For example, the bill provides a 10% cut to the EPA, 7% cut to ATF, and a 6% cut to the FBI. However, the bill continues to fund the Essential Air Service program and contains countless earmarks which fund pet projects of lawmakers, especially at the Army Corps of Engineers where spending is increased 7-fold. The bill also provides increased spending for a number of welfare programs such as WIC, plus $3.3 billion for community development block grants. Furthermore, hundreds of millions of dollars are directed to fight climate change through carbon capture. In April of 2025, President Trump blocked over $430 billion in federal funds (a portion of which authorized under this act) and in July of 2025 directed Congress to rescind over $ 9 billion of funding provided under the act. Note: two Democratic lawmakers who opposed the bill were marked as "X" due to the fact their opposition was not the spending but rather minor provisions pertaining to gun control.
