Coal Cleanup Taxpayer Protection Act of 2026

The proposal would change how the federal government handles cleanup costs when coal mining companies abandon their operations or go bankrupt, shifting more financial responsibility onto the companies themselves rather than leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. This affects coal mining companies, workers in coal regions, and taxpayers who currently help pay for restoring mined land back to usable condition. The bill aims to ensure that companies set aside enough money upfront to cover reclamation costs instead of leaving the government responsible for expensive cleanup projects.

Hazard Pay for Health Care Heroes Act

The proposal would give emergency funding to hospitals and health care facilities to help protect and support essential health care workers during public health crises. The money could be used for things like hazard pay, mental health services, childcare assistance, and equipment to keep workers safe. This would affect doctors, nurses, and other medical staff who continue working during emergencies like disease outbreaks.

Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act of 2026

The federal government would provide money to schools to improve and upgrade their outdoor play areas and schoolyards, making them safer, more engaging, and better equipped for students to learn and exercise. Schools could use these grants to add new equipment, fix existing facilities, plant trees and gardens, or redesign spaces to encourage physical activity and outdoor learning. This would help schools across the country, particularly those with limited budgets, create better outdoor environments for their students.

Impeaching Pamela Bondi, Attorney General of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This is a resolution to remove Pamela Bondi from her position as Attorney General by impeaching her in the House of Representatives and potentially trying her in the Senate, based on allegations of serious wrongdoing. The resolution has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which will investigate the charges and decide whether to recommend impeachment to the full House. If the House votes to impeach and the Senate convicts her, she would be removed from office.

Freedom House Ambulance Service Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill would award a Congressional Gold Medal to Freedom House Ambulance Service, a historic ambulance service that provided emergency medical care, in recognition of its contributions to public health and emergency services. The medal is a ceremonial honor that Congress grants to individuals or organizations for outstanding achievements or service to the nation. The bill has been referred to two House committees for review before any vote can take place.

COINTELPRO Full Disclosure Act

This bill would require the federal government to fully release all remaining documents related to COINTELPRO, the FBI's controversial secret surveillance and disruption program that targeted civil rights leaders, political activists, and other groups during the Cold War era. The disclosure would give the public and researchers access to previously hidden information about how the government monitored and interfered with American citizens and organizations. The bill affects government transparency and accountability by ensuring that historical records of these operations become available to the American people.

Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2026

This bill would require companies and government agencies to test their computer algorithms and artificial intelligence systems for bias and discrimination before using them to make decisions about hiring, lending, housing, or other important services. If algorithms are found to unfairly disadvantage people based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics, organizations would have to fix the problems or stop using them. The law would primarily affect tech companies, financial institutions, employers, and government agencies that rely on automated decision-making systems.

Abolish Super PACs Act

This bill would eliminate Super PACs, which are political organizations that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections as long as they don't directly coordinate with candidates or parties. The change would affect political campaigns and fundraising by restricting how much money outside groups can pour into elections, potentially reducing the influence of wealthy donors and large corporations on politics. Supporters argue this would reduce corruption and the outsized influence of money in politics, while opponents contend it would limit free speech rights.
