A bill to improve transparency with respect to foreign influence on Department of Defense contractors.

The bill would require Department of Defense contractors to disclose their foreign ownership, investments, and business relationships to increase transparency about potential foreign influence on military suppliers.

The measure affects defense contractors and their foreign investors or business partners.

Maternal Health Pandemic Response Act

The federal government would fund efforts to collect data and monitor maternal health during public health emergencies, such as pandemics or disease outbreaks, to better understand how these crises affect pregnant women and new mothers. This would help researchers and health officials identify problems quickly and improve medical care for mothers and babies when emergencies occur. The bill allocates money for these data collection and research activities.

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that over 25 years of real-world evidence and hundreds of peer-reviewed studies proving that mifepristone is safe and effective should be respected, and law and policy governing access to lifesaving, time-sensitive medication abortion care in the United States should be equitable, transparent, and based on the best available peer-reviewed evidence-based science.

This resolution expresses the Senate's view that policies governing access to mifepristone, a medication used for abortion, should be based on scientific evidence showing the drug is safe and effective, rather than other considerations. The resolution calls for medication abortion care to be equitable and transparent across the United States, reflecting what research has demonstrated over the past 25 years. The measure has been referred to the Senate's health committee for consideration.

PBM Act

The proposal would prevent pharmacy benefit managers (companies that manage prescription drug benefits for insurance plans) and pharmacies from being owned by the same parent company. This separation is intended to reduce conflicts of interest where a single company could profit by steering patients to its own pharmacies or limiting access to competitors' pharmacies, potentially affecting drug prices and patient choice for millions of Americans who use prescription medications.

Congress is considering blocking a Commerce Department rule that temporarily paused restrictions on which companies can buy certain controlled technology products from U.S. exporters. The rule would have allowed some foreign companies affiliated with sanctioned entities to continue purchasing these items for one year, but this resolution would reject that permission and keep the stricter limits in place. This affects technology companies and exporters who sell products subject to national security controls.

Housing Survivors of Major Disasters Act of 2026

When major disasters like hurricanes, floods, or earthquakes strike, this bill would ensure that federal money and resources are available to help affected families rebuild their homes, replace lost belongings, and cover emergency expenses.

The bill has been sent to the Senate committee responsible for homeland security and disaster management for review.

Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act

This bill would prevent current and former Presidents and Vice Presidents from receiving money damages if they win lawsuits against the federal government, even if they successfully prove the government wronged them. The change would apply to these officials specifically, while other federal employees and private citizens could still collect damages in similar situations. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Educational Equity Challenge Grant Act of 2026

This bill would likely create a competitive grant program to help schools and districts address educational disparities and improve outcomes for disadvantaged students.

Congress is voting on whether to block a consumer protection rule that was supposed to prevent banks and financial companies from misleadingly using the FDIC's name or logo to trick people into thinking their deposits are insured when they're not.

The measure affects consumers shopping for financial products online and the digital platforms and financial companies that use these steering tactics.

Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act of 2026

This proposal would create a new annual tax on individuals and families with a net worth exceeding $50 million, requiring them to pay a percentage of their total wealth each year rather than just income taxes. The revenue collected would go toward federal programs and deficit reduction, affecting only the wealthiest Americans while leaving middle-class and working families unchanged. The bill has been sent to the Senate Finance Committee for review and debate.

Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting Act of 2026

This bill would change how the military buys equipment and services from private contractors to prioritize what actually helps soldiers and troops in the field.

The government would set a 10-year time limit for prosecuting companies and individuals who bribe foreign officials to win business deals, meaning prosecutors would have a decade from when the offense occurs to bring charges. This change would strengthen enforcement of existing anti-bribery laws that prevent American businesses from paying off foreign government officials to gain unfair advantages in international deals. The bill affects multinational corporations, their executives, and federal prosecutors who investigate financial crimes overseas.

Stop Militarizing Our Streets Act of 2026

This bill would likely restrict or regulate the transfer of military equipment and weapons to local police departments, aiming to prevent police forces from using military-grade gear during routine law enforcement.

The active duty designation entitles qualifying individuals to certain benefits afforded to veterans, such as burial benefits (not including interment at Arlington National Cemetery) and honorary veteran status. Under the bill, the Department of Defense (DOD) must issue individuals who served in the corps during the specified period a discharge from their service under honorable conditions if such a discharge is warranted based on the duration and nature of the service.

It aims to help government agencies fill critical positions in areas like technology, engineering, and other technical fields where the government currently struggles to compete with private employers. The bill would allow federal agencies to hire these experts more quickly and with greater flexibility than traditional civil service hiring processes allow.

The goal is to update place names to reflect modern values while potentially honoring Indigenous peoples and communities that have historically been excluded from geographic naming.

Anti-Racism in Public Health Act of 2025

This bill would require the federal government to develop and implement strategies to address racial disparities in public health outcomes, such as differences in disease rates, maternal mortality, and access to healthcare among different racial groups.

The legislation would affect public health agencies, hospitals, healthcare providers, and communities experiencing worse health outcomes due to systemic inequalities.

Restoring Fair Housing Protections Eliminated by Trump Act of 2025

The bill is currently under review by the Senate Banking Committee.

American Housing and Economic Mobility Act of 2025 This bill addresses housing affordability and availability through grants, housing programs, and oversight of financial institutions.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development shall provide grants to (1) state, local, and tribal governments to remove barriers to building affordable units, (2) states to assist borrowers who have negative equity in their homes, (3) state housing finance agencies to support construction of affordable rental housing and prevent tenant displacement and harassment, and (4) eligible individuals (generally, lower income individuals who are first generation homebuyers) to help them purchase their first homes. The bill establishes and provides funding for the first-time homeowner grant program and the affordable rental housing construction program, and it also funds existing rural housing programs. The bill also requires financial regulators to generally assess the effectiveness of financial institutions in meeting the credit and lending needs of their communities, particularly of underserved populations. The bill also expands fair housing protections to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, source of income, veteran status, or an individual's perceived membership in a protected class (e.g., an individual's perceived race or sex). Additionally, the bill modifies the estate tax in various ways, including by reducing the number of brackets to three, increasing the tax rates, and reducing the basic exemption amount. The bill also places additional taxes on high-income estates and trusts.
