To express the Sense of Congress with respect to safety of medication abortion and Federal preemption of State restrictions on dispensing medication abortion, and for other purposes.

Congress would express its position that medication abortion is safe and that federal law should take priority over state laws that restrict how these medications can be distributed to patients. The measure addresses the debate over whether states can impose their own rules on medication abortion access, with supporters arguing that federal standards should apply instead of varying state restrictions. This is a non-binding statement of congressional opinion rather than a law that would directly change current regulations.

Melanie's Law

The bill would create a new federal grant program to help states and local governments issue and enforce protective orders that shield family members of people in intimate relationships from abuse or harassment. This funding would support courts and law enforcement agencies in protecting relatives like parents, siblings, or in-laws who may be targeted by someone abusing their family member. The program aims to expand protections beyond just the person directly in the relationship to include their extended family members who could be at risk.

No Funds for Iran War Act

The proposal would prevent the U.S. military from using federal funding to conduct military operations against Iran unless Congress explicitly approves such action first. This would require lawmakers to vote and authorize any military strikes or warfare involving Iran rather than allowing the president to act unilaterally. The measure affects military spending, foreign policy decisions, and the balance of power between Congress and the president over decisions to go to war.

REPAIR Infrastructure Act

The bill would direct federal funding and resources toward repairing and maintaining roads, highways, bridges, and public transit systems across the country. It aims to address aging infrastructure that affects commuters, businesses, and emergency services by prioritizing repair projects over new construction. The legislation would likely impact states and local governments that manage transportation systems, as well as construction workers and the traveling public who depend on safe, functional roads and transit.

Health Care Fairness for Military Families Act of 2025

This bill would improve health care access and benefits for military families, likely by expanding coverage options, reducing out-of-pocket costs, or streamlining how military families use the health care system. The changes would affect active-duty service members, veterans, retirees, and their dependents who rely on military health insurance programs. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Armed Services Committee to determine what specific improvements should be made.

Strengthening Supply Chains Through Truck Driver Incentives Act of 2025

This bill would likely create tax incentives or credits to encourage more people to become truck drivers and help companies retain experienced drivers, addressing a shortage that affects the delivery of goods across the country. By making truck driving jobs more financially attractive through tax benefits, the legislation aims to strengthen the supply chain and ensure products reach stores and customers more reliably. The bill has been sent to the House tax committee for review.

Stop Sports Blackouts Act of 2025

Stop Sports Blackouts Act of 2025 This bill requires cable and satellite broadcast providers to issue rebates to customers who are denied access to video programming included in their subscription because of programming negotiations. Specifically, where a provider’s negotiations related to the retransmission or carriage of video programming result in the provider failing to offer access to programming included in a customer’s subscription, the customer must be issued a rebate for the affected period. The Federal Communications Commission is directed to issue rules to this effect, including to establish the appropriate amount for such a rebate.

Lower Grocery Prices Act

Lower Grocery Prices Act This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to submit a report to Congress on changes in the Consumer Price Index for food at home over the past 20 years. The report must also include recommendations to help lower food at home costs for U.S. consumers.

Working Families Housing Tax Credit Act

The proposal would create a new tax credit to help working families afford housing costs, reducing the amount of taxes they owe based on their housing expenses. This would primarily benefit lower and middle-income households struggling with rent or mortgage payments. The credit would need to be approved by Congress and would affect how the government collects taxes while potentially lowering housing costs for eligible families.
