Assessing how delays in U.S. arms deliveries weaken the Department of Defense's ability to build and sustain a strong denial defense in the First Island Chain. This bill would require the Comptroller General to produce a report within 18 months after enactment. It would list approved but unfinished major defense equipment sales to Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines and measure delivery delays. It would examine causes such as Department of Defense review, U.S. production limits, and DoD prioritization during conflicts. The report would evaluate impacts on interoperability and the DoD's posture. The report would be unclassified to the maximum extent practicable and include a classified annex. The Secretary of Defense would have to provide timely access to requested information. The bill includes no new funding.

If enacted, the bill would require the Comptroller General (GAO) to deliver a report to four congressional committees within 18 months. The report would assess how delays in U.S. arms deliveries to Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines through the Foreign Military Sales process affect the Defense Department's ability to build, posture, and sustain a strong denial defense in the First Island Chain. It would list major defense equipment sales that are approved but not completed and identify delivery-delay metrics, including delays from DoD review and administration, U.S. defense industrial base production constraints, or DoD prioritization during conflicts. The report would be unclassified to the maximum extent practicable, include a classified annex, and the Secretary of Defense would have to give GAO timely access to requested information under 31 U.S.C. 716.

S2904 — SHADOW Fleet Sanctions Act of 2026
Targets the Russian “shadow fleet” and its enablers. The bill sets new sanctions, reporting rules, a public vessel database, and flag‑state standards to stop shipping and insurance schemes that hide Russian oil and other exports. - Maritime owners, operators, insurers, and crew face blocking sanctions and visa bans if they knowingly facilitate shadow‑fleet shipments or evade price caps, with designation guided by allied lists and clear behavioral indicators. - Port operators in the People’s Republic of China and India can be sanctioned for receiving Russian oil above the price cap or handling already‑sanctioned vessels, creating direct risk for terminals that accept suspect shipments. - The State Department, Treasury, and other agencies must build a public database, expand reports, and modernize sanctions work. The bill authorizes targeted funding, including $15 million per sanctions office for FY2026–FY2027 and $200 million for a Countering Russian Influence Fund. Authorizes new discretionary spending including the specified appropriations and therefore increases federal outlays in 2026–2027.
S1748 — Kids Online Safety Act
Protecting minors online is the core aim of the Kids Online Safety Act, which would make platforms that serve young users adopt a legal duty of care, add parental controls and safeguards, and force more transparency about recommendation algorithms. The bill targets design features that boost minor engagement and limits certain research on children to reduce mental-health and harassment risks. - Families and minors: The bill would define a "child" as under 13 and a "minor" as under 17, require verifiable parental consent for known children, and give parents tools to control privacy, purchases, and autoplay for streaming. - Platforms and products: Covered services would face limits on personalized design features, a ban on market research involving children under 13, and public reporting and independent audits of safeguards, including detailed de-identified data on minor usage for platforms with over 10 million monthly U.S. users. - Regulators, schools, and tech oversight: The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules with state attorneys general able to act as well, a Kids Online Safety Council of 11 members would advise and report within 1 and 3 years, and a separate title would force notice and opt-outs for "opaque" algorithms and let users switch to input-transparent systems.
S1552 — Living Donor Protection Act of 2025
Prohibits insurance discrimination against living organ donors and expands workplace leave to cover donation surgery and recovery. It also directs federal health agencies to update public education on living donation. - Stops life, disability, and long-term care insurers from denying, cancelling, refusing to issue, or changing coverage or premiums solely because someone is a living organ or bone marrow donor when no unique actuarial risk exists. Enforcement is handled by State insurance regulators. - Adds organ donation, preparation for donation, and recovery to the Family and Medical Leave Act and to federal civil service leave rules. Federal employees who use part of the 12-week FMLA leave to donate may substitute other available leave where possible. - Requires the Department of Health and Human Services, in coordination with the Department of Labor as appropriate, to review and update educational materials and can issue public service announcements and web updates within six months to explain the changes and resources.
S2120 — Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2025
Modernizes and reauthorizes the Older Americans Act to prioritize better health outcomes, stronger caregiver supports, and expanded nutrition and community services for older adults. It creates new roles and reporting to boost mental health, substance use, and cognitive‑impairment services and updates coordination across aging and disability networks. - Families and caregivers: Expands the National Family Caregiver Support Program, adds supports for grandparents raising grandchildren, authorizes trauma‑informed and peer services, and creates a Direct Care Workforce Resource Center for training and recruitment. - Older adults and the aging network: Requires a designated mental health, substance‑use, and cognitive‑impairment officer, scales evidence‑based prevention programs, supports home modifications and weatherization for aging in place, and adds medically tailored meals with counseling. States may use up to 25 percent of certain nutrition funds for off‑site "grab‑and‑go" meals. - Funding, Tribal services, and accountability: Reauthorizes the law through FY2030 and funds the Community Service Senior Opportunities program at $540.3 million in FY2026 and $647.4 million in FY2030. It raises Grants for Native Americans, tightens reporting, and requires GAO and National Academies studies to track performance and tribal needs.
S37 — VALOR Act of 2025
Targeted sanctions and conditional assistance tied to democratic benchmarks push Venezuela toward free and fair elections while preserving tools to punish and deter the Maduro regime. - Venezuelan families: Authorizes humanitarian help — food, medicine, emergency energy, and reconstruction support — delivered through U.S. agencies and independent nongovernmental organizations. It requires a formal assistance plan within 90 days and annual reporting, with safeguards to prevent funds reaching the Maduro regime. - U.S. persons and businesses: Prohibits transactions in Venezuelan government debt and any Venezuelan digital currency and creates detailed licensing and foreign-person reporting requirements with a reporting cadence that can run up to 10 years. - International institutions and partners: Directs the Treasury to oppose seating Maduro regime representatives at the IMF and other institutions and to block nondemocratic Venezuelan participation in the Organization of American States until democratic criteria are met. It authorizes at least $5 million in voluntary U.S. contributions to an OAS emergency fund for observers and election support. - Oversight and conditionality: Sets statutory criteria for recognizing a democratically elected Venezuelan government, ties unilateral termination of these sanctions to a presidential determination, requires progress reports every 180 days for 3 years, and creates a limited Congressional disapproval process allowing one disapproval resolution per 180-day period.
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.
