SJRES 118: A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

This bill directs the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from hostilities against Iran that lack congressional authorization. It specifically responds to military actions taken by the President in February 2026, which the bill states occurred without a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization. The resolution requires the removal of troops unless Congress explicitly authorizes military action through a declaration of war or a specific law. It explicitly allows for defensive actions against Iranian attacks on U.S. personnel or allies, and intelligence-sharing with partners like Israel. The bill aims to enforce constitutional war powers by requiring congressional approval for military engagement in Iran.

S 410: Love Lives On Act of 2025

The Love Lives On Act of 2025 modifies veterans' and military survivors' benefit rules to prevent remarriage from automatically ending eligibility. It directly affects surviving spouses of veterans or military members who remarried, ensuring they retain access to key benefits. Key provisions include: (1) preventing termination of veterans' dependency compensation (under 38 U.S.C. §1311/1562) due to remarriage; (2) stopping termination of military Survivor Benefit Plan annuities solely for remarriage, with specific rules for those who remarried before age 55; and (3) expanding TRICARE coverage to include remarried widows/widowers whose subsequent marriage ended (via death, divorce, or annulment). These changes restore or maintain benefits that were previously lost upon remarriage.

HR 5891: Withhold Member Pay During Shutdowns Act

This bill requires that U.S. Representatives and Senators have their pay withheld for each day a government shutdown occurs during their pay period. If a shutdown happens, Congress's payroll office would withhold an amount equal to one day's salary for each full day of the shutdown, either reducing the current pay or holding funds in a special account until after the November 2026 election (for shutdowns before that date). The law applies to all federal agency shutdowns and specifies that withheld funds must be released to members on the 2026 election date to comply with constitutional pay protections. It takes effect for shutdowns occurring after the 2026 election.

HR 5688: Non-Domiciled CDL Integrity Act

HR 5688, the Non-Domiciled CDL Integrity Act, changes rules for issuing commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to people who don't live in the state where the license is issued. It allows states to issue CDLs to foreign nationals with lawful U.S. immigration status and work-related visas (valid for up to one year or until their stay ends), requiring states to verify status before issuing and keep records for two years. For residents of U.S. territories like Puerto Rico, it requires proof of U.S. citizenship or permanent residency before issuing CDLs, with similar verification and record-keeping rules. The bill directly affects commercial drivers from foreign countries and U.S. territories seeking CDLs in states where they are not residents.

HR 4876: Reproductive Freedom for Veterans Act

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to cover abortion care, counseling, and related medication as part of standard hospital and medical services for eligible veterans and certain dependents. It amends VA healthcare law to explicitly include these services under existing coverage for veterans qualifying under section 1703 and dependents eligible under section 1781(a). The policy directly affects veterans and their dependents enrolled in VA healthcare programs by expanding covered benefits to include abortion-related care. This is a concrete policy change to VA healthcare benefits, not a broader abortion law.

This resolution supports recognizing March 14, 2026, as Black Midwives Day to honor the contributions of Black midwives to maternal and infant health. It highlights the importance of midwifery in addressing maternal health disparities and the maternity care desert crisis affecting millions of women. The resolution calls for federal and state governments to take actions such as increasing funding for midwifery education, removing regulatory barriers, and expanding insurance coverage for midwifely care. It also encourages efforts to decriminalize midwifery practices and promote culturally competent care to improve health outcomes for Black mothers and infants.

S 4111: Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act

This bill proposes a new windfall profits tax on crude oil producers and importers, targeting companies that extract or import more than 300,000 barrels of oil per day. The tax rate would be 50% of the amount by which current crude oil prices exceed a baseline set at the 2025 average, with adjustments for inflation in subsequent years. Revenue collected from this tax would be placed in a dedicated fund and then rebated directly to individual taxpayers as a credit against their income taxes. The rebate amount would be calculated quarterly based on the total tax revenue collected and distributed to eligible individuals, with higher amounts for joint filers and income-based phase-outs. The bill applies to oil extracted or imported after December 31, 2025, and includes provisions for territories with mirror tax systems to receive equivalent benefits.

HR 7961: H–1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act

This bill exempts H-1B visa holders working in healthcare from a presidential restriction that requires a $100,000 payment for entry into the United States. It directly affects foreign medical professionals and healthcare workers who hold H-1B nonimmigrant visas. The legislation removes the additional fee requirement for these workers while limiting any fees that may be charged to the standard amount already established under immigration law. The bill defines healthcare workers using the existing definition from the Affordable Care Act and was introduced in the 119th Congress in March 2026.

HR 7960: Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act

This bill establishes a new excise tax on crude oil extracted or imported by large oil companies and uses the revenue to provide rebates to eligible consumers. The tax would be imposed on companies that extract or import over 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day, at a rate of 50% of the difference between the current Brent crude oil price and a 2025 baseline price, adjusted for inflation. All revenue from this tax would be deposited into a new "Protect Consumers from Gas Hikes Fund." This fund would then be used to provide refundable tax credits, or rebates, to eligible individuals, with the rebate amount determined by the Secretary based on fund revenues and the number of eligible individuals. These rebates would be phased out for individuals with adjusted gross incomes exceeding certain thresholds, such as $150,000 for joint filers.

HR 7957: Preserve the Traditional Cultural Place Chí’chil Biłdagoteel Historic District Act

This bill designates the Chí'chil Biłdagoteel Historic District, a traditional cultural place significant to Western Apache and other Native American tribes, as protected land within the Tonto National Forest. It prohibits mining, toxic waste disposal, pipeline construction, and other development activities on the area to preserve its cultural and natural integrity. The legislation requires the Secretary of Agriculture to maintain the land in its natural condition, consult with affected tribes, and ensure continued access for traditional religious and cultural practices. By withdrawing the land from public land laws and mining rights, the bill prevents future extraction projects that could damage sacred sites, water sources, and ecosystems.
