Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

This measure would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any active conflict with Iran, unless Congress votes to approve continued military involvement. The directive invokes the War Powers Resolution, a law that limits how long the President can keep troops engaged in military operations without congressional approval. It would affect military personnel stationed in the Middle East and any ongoing U.S. military operations involving Iran.

To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to authorize the Secretary of Education to award grants to State educational agencies to carry out wellness programs for school personnel, and for other purposes.

The federal government would provide grants to states to create wellness programs for school employees like teachers, administrators, and support staff. These programs could cover things like mental health services, fitness initiatives, stress management, and preventive health care to improve the overall wellbeing of people who work in schools. The money would help schools address burnout and health challenges among their workforce.

Neighborhood Tree Act of 2026

The proposal would establish a federal program to help communities plant and maintain trees in urban and suburban neighborhoods, with funding and technical support provided to local governments and nonprofits. It aims to increase tree canopy coverage in areas that currently lack adequate shade and green space, which can help reduce heat, improve air quality, and provide environmental benefits to residents. The program would affect city planners, environmental organizations, and neighborhoods across the country looking to expand their tree coverage.

The law would affect food banks, restaurants, grocery stores, farms, and other businesses that donate food to people in need.

Healthy Hair Act

It has been sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for review.

Strengthening Agency Management and Oversight of Software Assets Act

The federal government would be required to better track and manage the software it owns and uses across all agencies, similar to how a company might keep inventory of its tools and equipment. This would help reduce waste, prevent agencies from buying duplicate software licenses, and improve cybersecurity by ensuring outdated or unsupported programs are replaced more quickly. The bill aims to save taxpayer money and make government operations more efficient by giving agencies clearer rules for managing their software assets.

Expanding Cybersecurity Workforce Act of 2025

This bill aims to help more people enter cybersecurity jobs by expanding training programs and educational opportunities in the field. It would likely support apprenticeships, certifications, and workforce development initiatives to prepare workers for careers protecting computer systems and networks. The legislation targets the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals that government and private companies currently face.

Uterine Fibroid Intervention and Gynecological Health Treatment Act of 2025

This bill would increase federal funding and research efforts focused on uterine fibroids—noncancerous tumors that grow in the uterus and affect many women—and improve treatment options and patient care for this condition. The legislation aims to support medical research, education for healthcare providers, and better access to gynecological treatments for women dealing with fibroids. It would primarily benefit women's health by expanding knowledge about the condition and making care more available and effective.

Hunger-Free Future Act of 2025

Hunger-Free Future Act of 2025 This bill prohibits any reevaluation or update to the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP) by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) that results in an increase in food insecurity (i.e., an increase in the number of households that lack adequate food as a result of having insufficient money and other resources to acquire food). As background, USDA created the TFP (the cost of purchasing a nutritionally adequate low-cost diet), which is used to determine maximum monthly benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). USDA calculates the cost of the TFP (i.e., the market basket of goods) each year to account for food price inflation. Under a provision of the 2018 farm bill, USDA must reevaluate the market basket of goods every five years based on current food prices, food composition data, consumption patterns, and dietary guidance.
