This bill would require the Secretary of State to report to the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs Committees. The first report would be due not later than 180 days after enactment, and then yearly. Each report would say whether Mexico delivered at least 350,000 acre-feet in the prior calendar year. The report would also assess Mexico's ability to deliver 1,750,000 acre-feet by the end of the Treaty five-year cycle. The report would identify Mexican sectors that depend on treaty water or U.S. deliveries. If a report finds Mexico failed to deliver 350,000 acre-feet, the President would have to deny all non-Treaty emergency delivery requests by Mexico. The President could also limit or end U.S. engagement with the identified sectors, except actions to stop fentanyl, fentanyl precursors, xylazine, and other synthetic drugs. A non-Treaty emergency delivery could still occur if, within 120 days after the report and every 120 days after that, the Secretary certifies the water will be used only for an ongoing ecological, environmental, or humanitarian emergency and that the delivery is vital to U.S. national interests.

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.
S706 — American Victims of Terrorism Compensation Act
Expanded, time‑bound funding for U.S. victims of state‑sponsored terrorism. This bill would clarify and widen the sources and timing of money in the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund, set firm deadlines for fifth‑round and supplemental payments, create annual pro rata payments starting in 2026, and add stricter reporting and oversight rules. - Claimants (victims): Would require fifth‑round payments to be distributed by March 14, 2025 and would begin annual pro rata payments in 2026 so eligible victims get more predictable, regular distributions. - Funding mechanics: Would direct specific forfeiture and penalty deposits into the Fund, including a $1.5 billion deposit to the Crime Victims Fund, and would authorize annual transfers equal to 50% of excess unobligated balances from DOJ and Treasury forfeiture funds. - Administration and oversight: Would limit Special Master use of Department of Justice personnel to 10 full‑time equivalents with their costs paid from the Fund, require an annual Attorney General report posted by March 1, and mandate a GAO report by April 1, 2025 plus triennial evaluations thereafter.
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.
S1241 — Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025
Harsh, automatic sanctions and trade penalties would be triggered if Russia refuses to negotiate with Ukraine, violates a peace deal, invades again, or seeks to subvert Ukraine's government. The bill would require visa and property-blocking sanctions, target major Russian banks, ban U.S. energy exports to Russia, restrict U.S. investments and listings tied to Russia, and force duties of at least 500% on Russian imports.
