Churchill Museum landmark designation
If enacted, America's National Churchill Museum at Westminster College would be designated a National Historic Landmark. The Secretary of the Interior would be authorized, after consulting the State, City, and College, to enter cooperative agreements with public or private groups to protect the Landmark and run educational and interpretive programs. The Secretary would be able to provide technical and financial assistance to any group that has such an agreement. The Secretary would be required to do a special resource study on the site's national significance, options for preservation or National Park Service inclusion, and cost estimates, and to report to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and the House Natural Resources Committee within three years after funds are first provided. The designation would not change how the State, the City, or Westminster College run the property, and owners could still take actions they could before.

HR2853 — Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025
This bill creates a centralized Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center to unify federal, state, local, Tribal, and private-sector efforts. It also strengthens federal criminal tools by expanding forfeiture predicates, adding covered financial instruments, and setting $5,000 aggregate thresholds for certain stolen-goods offenses. - Retailers and supply-chain businesses get a federal hub for intelligence sharing and loss-prevention help. The bill cites a 93% rise in larceny incidents and a 90% rise in average dollar loss from 2019 to 2023. - Prosecutors and investigators gain broader forfeiture and money-laundering authority by adding sections 659, 2314, and 2315 as predicate offenses and by including money orders, general-use prepaid cards, gift certificates, and store gift cards as covered instruments. It also adds a $5,000 aggregate value threshold to those stolen-goods crimes. - The Department of Homeland Security must stand up the Center within 90 days and staff it with federal and state detailees. The law requires evaluations and follow-up reports on grant and training needs and sunsets the Center after 7 years.
HR1422 — Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025
Targets Iran's energy revenue through global sanctions. This bill would create a broad sanctions framework to punish foreign persons who process, export, or sell Iran-origin oil, condensates, gas, LNG, or petrochemical products. It pairs blocking of assets and visa bans with ownership-based triggers, waivers, humanitarian carve-outs, and new reporting to limit Iran's access to energy markets and finance for weapons and terrorism. - Foreign energy firms and financial institutions would face blocking of property and bans on transactions if they knowingly handle Iran-origin energy or are 50% or more owned by such actors. Associated aliens could become inadmissible and have visas revoked. - Maritime operators, insurers, flag registries, and LNG pipeline facilities would be exposed to sanctions risk when linked to Iran-origin shipments, though safety-of-crew rules and specific exemptions for imports remain. - Humanitarian organizations would keep explicit exemptions for agricultural commodities, food, medicine, medical devices, and humanitarian assistance to avoid disrupting aid. - U.S. agencies and private companies would see new duties: an interagency working group and multilateral contact group would coordinate enforcement, and private-sector reporting would be required to flag evasion and proceeds from intercepted Iran-origin energy sales.
