To amend the Commodity Exchange Act to authorize certain treatment of customer property during commodity broker bankruptcy.

When a commodity broker goes bankrupt, this proposal would clarify how customer money and investments held by that broker should be handled and protected. The change aims to ensure that customers' funds are treated fairly and recovered as quickly as possible during the bankruptcy process, rather than being tied up in lengthy legal disputes. This affects people and businesses who trade commodities like oil, grain, and metals through brokers.

DHS CANDOR Act

The Department of Homeland Security would be required to create a single, consistent policy for how all its offices and agencies communicate with the public. This would help ensure that DHS employees, contractors, and the public receive clear and coordinated information across different departments instead of getting conflicting messages from different parts of the agency.

Health Disparity Zones Act of 2026

The proposal would create a new designation called "Health Disparity Zones" for areas with significant gaps in health outcomes and access to care, allowing the federal government to direct resources and support to improve healthcare in these underserved communities. Communities in these zones could receive funding, tax incentives, or other assistance to attract healthcare providers, expand medical services, and address the underlying causes of poor health outcomes. The bill would primarily affect residents of economically disadvantaged areas, healthcare providers, and local governments seeking to improve public health in their regions.

BLANKET Act

The proposal would create new federal grants to help communities respond to severe weather emergencies affecting homeless people, such as extreme heat, cold, or storms. Local governments and nonprofits could use this funding to provide emergency shelter, warming centers, cooling stations, and other immediate assistance during dangerous weather conditions. The money would supplement existing homelessness programs to help protect vulnerable people during weather-related crises.

Stopping Abusive Student Loan Collection Practices in Bankruptcy Act of 2026

The proposal would change bankruptcy law to prevent aggressive collection tactics by student loan companies against borrowers who file for bankruptcy protection. Currently, student loan debt is treated differently than other debts in bankruptcy, making it extremely difficult for borrowers to get relief even when they're in severe financial hardship. This bill would give bankruptcy courts more power to address unfair collection practices and potentially provide struggling borrowers with better options to manage their student loan obligations.

Protecting Passengers from Discrimination Act

The Government Accountability Office would be required to conduct yearly reviews of how TSA airport security screening follows the agency's anti-discrimination policies, checking whether passengers are being treated fairly regardless of race, religion, or other protected characteristics. If the reviews find problems with compliance, the GAO would identify what changes are needed to improve how fairly TSA treats travelers during security checks. This would help ensure that airport security screening practices don't unfairly target or disadvantage certain groups of people.

Censuring Representative Andrew Ogles and Removing Him from the House Committee on Homeland Security.

This resolution would formally censure Representative Andrew Ogles, which is an official statement of disapproval by the House, and remove him from his position on the House Committee on Homeland Security. A censure is a serious rebuke but does not remove a member from office or affect their pay. The resolution has been sent to the House Ethics Committee for review.

Land Reparations Commission Act

This bill would establish a federal commission to study and recommend policies for providing reparations to Native Americans and other groups who lost land through historical government actions or discrimination. The commission would investigate past land seizures and develop proposals for how the government might compensate affected communities or return property. This would primarily affect Native American tribes, descendants of enslaved people, and other historically marginalized groups who experienced documented land dispossession.

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

This is an impeachment resolution that would formally charge Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi with high crimes and misdemeanors, which are serious offenses that could lead to her removal from office if the House votes to impeach and the Senate votes to convict. The resolution has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which would investigate the allegations and determine whether to recommend impeachment to the full House. If passed by the House and then the Senate, Bondi would be removed from her position as the nation's top law enforcement official.

Digital Literacy and Equity Act of 2026

This bill would likely fund programs to teach digital skills to people who lack access to computers and internet training, helping close the gap between those who can use technology and those who cannot. It would probably support schools, libraries, and community organizations in providing classes on basic computer use, online safety, and job-related tech skills to underserved populations. The goal is to ensure more Americans can participate fully in the digital economy and access online services for education, healthcare, and employment.

Middle Class Tax Cut Act

This bill would reduce federal income taxes for middle-income Americans, though the specific tax cuts and income thresholds would be determined during the legislative process. The proposal aims to put more money back in the pockets of working families and small business owners by lowering their tax burden. The House Committee on Ways and Means will review the details and decide whether to move the bill forward.

Abolish ICE Act

The proposal would eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws and deporting people who are in the country illegally. Its functions would be transferred to other government agencies, fundamentally changing how the U.S. handles immigration enforcement and deportations. This would affect undocumented immigrants, immigration enforcement officers, and communities across the country.

Bike the Border Act

The proposal would authorize the use of bicycles and other non-motorized vehicles as part of border patrol operations, allowing agents to access terrain that traditional vehicles cannot easily reach. This would affect Border Patrol officers and potentially improve surveillance and enforcement capabilities in remote or difficult-to-navigate areas along the U.S. borders.

Don’t Feed the Bears Act of 2025

The bill would establish or strengthen rules preventing people from intentionally or carelessly feeding bears on public lands, which can make bears dangerous and dependent on human food sources. It likely aims to protect both wildlife and visitors to national forests, parks, and other federal lands by imposing penalties on people who leave food out or directly feed bears. The measure affects outdoor recreationists, campers, and anyone using public lands, as well as wildlife management agencies responsible for protecting both humans and bear populations.

Prohibition of Medicaid Funding for Conversion Therapy Act
