S524 — Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025
Coast Guard capacity is the focus: the bill funds operations, raises staffing targets, and rewrites acquisition rules to modernize ships, aircraft, and maintenance. It pairs specific dollar authorizations with new buying rules and reporting on icebreakers and polar cutters. - Coast Guard personnel and readiness gain explicit targets. Total end strength is raised from 2,500 to 3,000 and aircraft crew levels from 165 to 200, with higher training capacity metrics. - Shipbuilders and the Coast Guard Yard face new procurement rules and reporting. The bill creates Service Life Extension Programs, requires life‑cycle cost estimates, reclassifies major projects, and limits floating drydocks to U.S. construction and defined acquisition paths. The minor construction threshold rises to $2 million. - Great Lakes and Arctic operations get clearer plans and oversight. The Commandant must deliver a Great Lakes icebreaker design and run a five‑season pilot to target keeping key waterways open 95% of the time. A Polar Security Cutter acquisition report is due within 120 days and regular briefings follow. Authorizes roughly $11.3 billion for FY2025 and $11.9 billion for FY2026 for the Coast Guard primary account, plus other specified accounts and retiree costs, representing near‑term federal outlays for operations and acquisitions.
S3923 — Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Reauthorization Act of 2026
modernize and fund NOAA's weather forecasting and observing systems to speed and sharpen warnings, expand research, and bring commercial data and AI into operational forecasting. This bill would push better forecasts and clearer risk messages for hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, wildfires, and extreme heat.
S117 — AMERICANS Act
Restores honorable status and remedies for service members discharged over COVID-19 vaccine refusal. It would bar the Department of Defense (DOD) from issuing a new COVID-19 vaccine mandate to replace the 2021 policy unless Congress expressly authorizes one, and it would create processes for exemptions, retention, and compensation remedies for affected members. - Members discharged or subject to adverse action for refusing a COVID-19 vaccine would be able to choose remedies such as adjustment to an honorable discharge, reinstatement to their highest prior grade with back pay, expungement of adverse records, and crediting separation time toward retirement pay. - The DOD would be required to try to retain unvaccinated members and give them equal professional development, promotion, and leadership opportunities, limit vaccine-based deployment decisions to cases where foreign law requires vaccination or the member is needed for a role, and set up exemption processes for natural immunity, medical risk, or sincere religious beliefs. - Members separated for vaccine refusal would not have to repay bonuses and would be reimbursed for any repayments already made, and the bill's protections would apply to all service members regardless of whether they sought an accommodation.
S124 — Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025
Would let the VA remove, demote, or suspend supervisors and managers faster by using a new "substantial evidence" discipline process while preserving whistleblower protections. This bill would also set clear decision factors and short timelines for initial decisions and internal grievances.
S3752 — SAVE America Act
Would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and a tangible photo ID to register and vote in federal elections. It would create a nationwide verification system using DHS SAVE, Social Security Administration checks, and state DMV and other databases and would expand removal rules, private lawsuits, and criminal penalties for registration violations. - Voters and registrants: People seeking to register for federal office would need to present listed documents such as a U.S. passport, REAL ID showing citizenship, naturalization certificate, or certified birth records. Those without documents could use a uniform affidavit under penalty of perjury as an alternative. - State and election agencies: Motor vehicle agencies and voter registration offices would have to collect and verify documentary proof and regularly cross-check SAVE, SSA, and state records. Federal departments would be required to provide verification data on request and, where practicable, within 24 hours to support verification. - Voting process and enforcement: In-person voters would need a tangible photo ID and absentee voters would include an ID copy with requests and ballots. The bill would add a mechanism to remove registrants verified as noncitizens and broaden private rights of action and criminal penalties for assisting improper registration.
S2907 — Chloe Cole Act
This bill would prohibit what it calls "chemical or surgical mutilation" of minors. It would ban puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex‑altering surgeries for anyone under 18 and create a federal private right of action so affected children or their parents or guardians can sue providers.
