This bill would disapprove a Department of Education final rule published at 91 Fed. Reg. 23768 on May 1, 2026. If enacted, the bill would direct that the rule have no force or effect. That would keep current federal student loan rules instead of the changes in that rule. Borrowers, students, loan servicers, and schools would be affected. Whether this helps or hurts you would depend on the blocked rule's specific changes.

Yes: 45 • No: 52
S51, Washington, D.C. Admission Act
This bill would admit the District of Columbia as the State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth, giving its residents full congressional representation. It would also carve out a separate federal 'Capital' around core federal buildings and set a staged transition for courts, services, and federal property. - Residents: District residents would gain two Senators and one Representative immediately upon admission and the current non‑voting Delegate office would be repealed. - Territory and federal limits: A defined Capital area including the Capitol, White House, Supreme Court, and adjacent federal lands would remain under U.S. title or jurisdiction and generally would not be subject to state taxation except where Congress permits. - Courts, justice, and transition supports: The bill would keep federal prosecution support, U.S. Marshals services, pretrial and public defender arrangements, and Bureau of Prisons housing rules during transition; it would provide a temporary Federal Medical Assistance Percentage uplift for five years and establish an 18‑member Statehood Transition Commission to oversee the change.
S5108, Right to IVF Act of 2026
Establishes a federal right to access assisted reproductive technology (ART) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). It would protect patients and willing providers to seek, offer, and make medical decisions about eggs, sperm, and embryos while overriding state limits that conflict with clinical guidance. - Families and patients: Would create a statutory right to pursue ART/IUI and to control donation, testing, storage, and disposition of reproductive material. It would also allow individuals and providers to bring private lawsuits for damages and equitable relief. - Active-duty service members and military families: Would require the Department of Defense to provide ART/IUI and fertility preservation for eligible active-duty members. It allows up to three completed oocyte retrievals, unlimited embryo transfers, funds donor procurement, and pays for storage and transport for one year after separation. - Veterans, insurers, and employers: Would add ART/IUI into Veterans Affairs medical services and require group health plans to cover ART and IUI with cost-sharing no more restrictive than other medical care. Plans must notify enrollees and the rule applies to plan years beginning six months after enactment.
S1503, Equality Act
Treat sexual orientation and gender identity as forms of sex discrimination across federal law. The bill would explicitly add sexual orientation and gender identity to federal sex‑discrimination protections and apply those rules across many statutes and programs.
S2295, Child Care for Working Families Act
This bill creates a new, comprehensive federal entitlement for children from birth through five that guarantees access to affordable, high‑quality early care and learning. It pairs a universal preschool program with multi‑year grants to stabilize providers and new Head Start wage and expansion funding.
S852, Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2025
Strengthens worker organizing rights and enforcement. The bill would expand who counts as employees and joint employers, speed representation and bargaining, require voter lists and workplace postings, and increase penalties and remedies for unfair labor practices. - Workers and jobseekers: Would broaden employee coverage and set a three-factor test that presumes employee status unless all three criteria are met. It would protect use of employer-provided electronic communications for organizing and clarify that the duration or pattern of strikes does not strip protection. - Employers and bargaining: Would require employers to provide unions detailed voter lists and timely notices. It would force a fast initial bargaining process with mandatory mediation and binding arbitration if negotiations fail. - Enforcement and remedies: Would expand National Labor Relations Board authority, allow private civil suits after a waiting period, make Board orders immediately effective, and raise civil penalties for unfair labor practices to up to $50,000 per violation and up to $100,000 for repeat or aggravated offenses.
S2150, Women’s Health Protection Act of 2025
Guarantee nationwide protections for a person's right to obtain abortion services and a provider's right to deliver them. The Women's Health Protection Act of 2025 would create a federal rule that stops laws and rules that single out abortion or place heavier burdens on abortion than on similar medical procedures. It defines key terms, protects pre-viability care, allows post-viability care to protect life or health, and explicitly protects interstate travel and the movement of medicines, equipment, patients, and providers. - Families and patients: Would protect access to abortion before viability and allow post-viability care when needed to protect life or health. It would bar medically unnecessary in-person visit rules and stop forced disclosure of why a patient seeks care. - Health care providers: Would protect providers' ability to give abortion care including by telemedicine and across state lines, and would forbid facility, staffing, testing, or disclosure requirements that are not required for similar procedures. - States and interstate commerce: Would preempt conflicting state laws and recognize a right to travel and to assist others in getting reproductive health services across state lines. - Courts and enforcement: Would let the Attorney General sue and would create a private right of action so patients and providers can seek injunctive relief and attorney's fees. It would limit state sovereign immunity where federal law allows challenges.
