Title Description Club Position Rep. Position
HR5371
Continuing Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026: This continuing appropriations legislation for Fiscal Year 2026 avoids large omnibus spending increases and maintains pressure for future spending restraint negotiations. Temporary funding measures are preferable to long-term appropriations packages that permanently expand discretionary federal spending levels.
 Y Y
HR3944
Legislation Limiting Earmark Disclosure Loopholes:This legislation limits earmark disclosure loopholes because earmarks encourage wasteful spending and allow politically connected projects to bypass competitive funding processes. Strengthening transparency and restricting earmarks helps reduce corruption risks and discourages unnecessary federal expenditures.
Y N
HR4
Rescissions Act of 2025: The Rescissions Act of 2025 cancels billions in previously appropriated spending for foreign aid and public broadcasting that taxpayers should not be forced to fund. Congress should reclaim unnecessary spending authority instead of allowing federal agencies to spend money simply because it was already appropriated. Rescinding these funds is a practical step toward reducing waste, restoring fiscal discipline, and limiting taxpayer support for programs that do not serve core national priorities.
 Y Y
HR1
One Big Beautiful Bill Act: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act permanently extends the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, restores 100 percent immediate expensing, and rolls back Inflation Reduction Act energy subsidies. Lower marginal tax rates and full expensing increase capital investment, productivity, wage growth, and long-run economic expansion.
 Y Y
HR1
Collins Amendment 2812 to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: Senator Susan Collins' Amendment 2812 to H.R. 1 would raise taxes to fund additional spending under the Rural Health Transformation Program. Raising the top individual income tax rate would undermine the bill's pro-growth purpose, discourage investment, and weaken efforts to keep taxes low and restrain federal spending.
 N N
SB1582
GENIUS Act - Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins: The GENIUS Act creates a clearer legal framework for stablecoins and digital payment systems. Regulatory certainty encourages financial innovation, strengthens competition in payment markets, and keeps digital asset development within the United States instead of overseas.
 Y Y
HJR61
Disapproving EPA Emissions Standards for Rubber Tire Manufacturing: This joint resolution overturns the Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards for rubber tire manufacturing because the rule imposes costly compliance requirements on domestic manufacturers. The regulation increases production costs, weakens industrial competitiveness, and places additional burdens on American manufacturing operations.
 Y Y
SJR31
S.J.Res.31 - Disapproving EPA Rule Under the Clean Air Act: This resolution overturns an EPA Clean Air Act rule that restricted regulatory relief for facilities that reduce hazardous air pollutant emissions below major-source thresholds. Businesses that lower emissions should be able to reclassify as area sources and avoid unnecessary major-source compliance burdens. Reversing the rule restores regulatory flexibility, lowers costs for manufacturers and energy producers, and encourages emissions reductions without expanding federal control.
 Y Y
HJR42
Disapproving DOE Appliance Efficiency Standards: This joint resolution overturns Department of Energy appliance efficiency standards because the regulations impose one-size-fits-all federal mandates that increase manufacturing and consumer costs. Market competition and consumer demand are more effective than federal regulation at encouraging innovation and efficiency improvements.
 Y Y
HJR20
Disapproving DOE Energy Conservation Standards for Water Heaters: This resolution disapproves the Department of Energy's energy conservation standards for water heaters because the rule effectively phases out affordable natural gas appliances and increases costs for households. Consumers should retain the freedom to choose appliances based on price and performance rather than federal efficiency mandates.
 Y Y
SJR18
Disapproving CFPB Overdraft Lending Rule: This resolution overturns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau overdraft lending rule because the regulation effectively imposes federal price controls on overdraft services offered by banks and credit unions. Restricting overdraft products reduces consumer access to short-term liquidity options and increases compliance costs that are ultimately passed on to consumers.
 Y Y
HR1968
Amendments to Reduce Appropriations for USAID: These amendments reduce appropriations for the United States Agency for International Development, decreasing federal spending on foreign assistance programs. Reducing international aid spending helps limit deficits, restrain government growth, and prioritize fiscal discipline amid rising national debt levels.
 Y N
HR1968
Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025: This legislation funds the government without adopting a larger omnibus spending package that would significantly increase discretionary spending. Maintaining current funding levels preserves opportunities for future spending reductions and avoids locking in higher long-term federal expenditures.
 Y Y
SJR28
Disapproving CFPB Rule: This joint resolution disapproves the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule because the regulation expands CFPB authority over consumer financial markets and imposes costly compliance mandates on financial institutions. Excessive CFPB regulation restricts competition, limits access to financial services, and increases costs that are ultimately passed on to consumers.
 Y Y
SJR3
Disapproving IRS Rule on Digital Asset Reporting: This joint resolution disapproves the Internal Revenue Service rule on gross proceeds reporting for digital asset brokers because the regulation imposes expansive reporting requirements on decentralized finance platforms and cryptocurrency transactions. The rule increases compliance burdens on innovators, discourages blockchain investment in the United States, and expands federal monitoring of private financial activity.
 Y Y
PN11-22
Russell Vought Nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget: This nomination confirms Russell Vought to serve as Director of the Office of Management and Budget. He has consistently advocated for spending restraint, regulatory reform, and smaller government. His leadership at OMB prioritizes deficit reduction and stronger oversight of federal spending programs.
 Y Y
PN11-1
Scott Bessent Nomination for Secretary of the Treasury: This nomination confirms Scott Bessent to serve as Secretary of the Treasury. He has advocated for lower taxes, deregulation, and pro-growth economic policies.
