SRES 748: A resolution condemning the Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service settlement agreement in Trump v. Internal Revenue Service, under which $1,776,000,000 in taxpayer money may be used to financially benefit individuals who assaulted law enforcement officers on January 6, 2021, and President Trump, his family, and his political allies.

This Senate resolution formally condemns a 2026 settlement agreement between the Department of Justice, the IRS, and President Trump's legal team. The bill criticizes the deal for potentially using $1.776 billion in taxpayer funds to benefit President Trump, his family, and political allies, while also allowing payments to individuals who assaulted law enforcement during the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Additionally, the resolution denounces provisions in the agreement that grant immunity from prosecution for tax crimes to Trump and related entities, as well as the creation of an internal panel to manage the fund without public oversight.

S 4635: SAFE for Survivors Act of 2026

The SAFE for Survivors Act of 2026 establishes new federal protections for individuals experiencing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other gender-based violence by mandating that employers provide up to 40 work days of leave per year, including at least 10 paid days, to address these incidents. This legislation also prohibits employers and insurers from discriminating against victims or retaliating against them for seeking leave, requesting workplace safety accommodations, or filing related claims, while ensuring that any information about the abuse remains strictly confidential. Additionally, the bill expands access to unemployment compensation for those who leave their jobs due to violence, strengthens insurance rules to prevent denial of coverage based on victim status, and authorizes funding for public education campaigns and workplace resource centers to support survivors.

S 4618: Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Act

The Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Act creates a new funding program to hire more counselors, psychologists, and social workers for schools with high numbers of low-income students. These funds are distributed to states, which then award subgrants to local school districts to help them reach recommended staffing ratios of 250 students per counselor, 500 per psychologist, and 250 per social worker. To qualify for the money, states must match the federal grant with their own funds and submit detailed plans showing how they will prioritize high-need schools. The bill also requires regular reporting on how many mental health staff are hired and the current student-to-staff ratios in participating schools.

HCONRES 105: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to end the use of U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes a new war or military force. The measure requires the removal of troops engaged in combat or occupation roles but allows forces to remain for defensive purposes or self-protection. Additionally, the bill clarifies that ending active hostilities does not stop intelligence collection, analysis, or sharing with allies, nor does it serve as a new authorization for military action.

This joint resolution seeks to officially reject a final rule issued by the Department of Education regarding federal student loan programs. If passed, the measure would prevent the new regulations from taking effect, leaving the previous rules in place. The bill directly impacts borrowers, lenders, and the Department of Education by nullifying the specific changes outlined in the "Reimagining and Improving Student Education" proposal. It is a procedural action that uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove the agency's policy without altering the underlying law.

It highlights specific actions taken, such as using advanced technology to detect fraud, suspending billions of dollars in suspected fraudulent payments, and coordinating with law enforcement to prosecute offenders. The document also acknowledges the creation of a new task force designed to lead a governmentwide strategy against fraud in federal benefit programs. Ultimately, the bill serves as a formal recognition of these initiatives rather than introducing new laws or policy changes.

HR 9008: Worker Rights and Support Act

The Worker Rights and Support Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to require employers to provide specific break times for employees, directly affecting workers covered under federal wage and hour laws. Under the new rules, employees must receive at least a 30-minute meal break for every six hours worked, along with a 10-minute break or time to use a restroom for every four hours, and up to 20-minute breaks for medical needs. While meal breaks can be unpaid if the employee is fully relieved of work, any break where the employee remains on duty or cannot leave the site must be paid at a rate of at least one and a half times their regular wage. The bill also allows employees to voluntarily waive meal breaks but prohibits employers from forcing them to do so, and it ensures that existing collective bargaining agreements or state laws offering better protections remain in effect.
Topics ✓ Labor & EmploymentSupports Labor & EmploymentBill mandates paid or protected break times, directly strengthening worker rights and workplace conditions under federal wage and hour laws.95% confidence
