With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
This version of the "American Relief Act, 2025" passed on December 19, 2024 and sponsored by Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) would fund the government through March 14, 2025. The bill also includes $100 billion in disaster aid and $10 billion in economic aid to farmers, as well as an extension of the farm bill through Sept. 30, 2025. Furthermore, the bill contains a two-year suspension of the debt limit until Jan. 30, 2027, a provision advocated by President-elect Trump to prevent Democratic Party roadblocks to his agenda.
Preamble - America First: A Return to Common Sense - America needs determined Republican Leadership at every level of Government to address the core threats to our very survival: Our disastrously Open Border, our weakened Economy, crippling restrictions on American Energy Production, our depleted Military, attacks on the American System of Justice, and much more.

Providing Full Federal Recognition of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina through the "Lumbee Fairness Act".
With GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
The "Lumbee Fairness Act" sponsored by Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC) would extend federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and makes its members eligible for a series of services and new federal financial benefits. The Tribe has about 60,000 members and was granted partial federal recognition in 1956. On January 23, 2025, President Trump signed a memorandum directing the Secretary of the Interior to produce a plan within 90 days to help the Lumbee Tribe obtain full federal recognition.

Advancing the Elimination of $1.34 Trillion of Biden Administration Regulations through the "Midnight Rules Relief Act".
Against GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
The "Midnight Rules Relief Act" sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) allows Congress to disapprove multiple regulations under one joint resolution of disapproval if the regulations were submitted for review during the last 60 legislative days of the final year of a President's term. Currently, each joint resolution may disapprove of only one regulation. According to the sponsor, the bill "allows Congress to rein in unelected bureaucrats. Biden's bureaucrats imposed more than $1.34 trillion in regulations in 2024 alone."

Advancing American Energy Dominance by Requiring the Department of Interior to Hold More Frequent Lease Sales and Speed up the Permitting Process through the "CLEAN Act".
Against GOP
GOP Platform Position: Support
The "Committing Leases for Energy Access Now (CLEAN) Act" sponsored by Rep. Russ Fulcher (R-ID) would require the Department of Interior (DOI) to hold lease sales every year, rather than every two years. Additionally, the bill helps speed up the permit process for lease sales by setting a 30-day deadline for the DOI to notify an applicant if a permit has been approved. According to the sponsor, the bill "will hold the Department of Interior accountable and is key to bolstering domestic energy production, reducing our reliance on foreign adversaries and meeting America's growing energy demands."

Against GOP
GOP Platform Position: Oppose
The Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) amendment #1 to the "Committing Leases for Energy Access Now (CLEAN) Act" would enact significant delays in the permitting process for geothermal drilling. Under the bill, the timeline for an agency to respond to a project applicant on whether their geothermal drilling permit application is complete or deficient would triple. Additionally, the amendment would make the overall permitting process for geothermal resources more than 9 times longer than it would take for oil and gas, in part due to new review requirements connected to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Finally, the amendment would provide new authority for the Bureau of Land Management to deny geothermal permits in the final stages of the permitting process.

The "North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep.

This includes funding select non-profit organizations to "promote human rights, democracy, rule of law, and the development of a market economy in North Korea". This bill advances an "America last" agenda which places initiatives in foreign nations above the needs of Americans, all while forcing taxpayers to enrich government-favored non-profits.

Shelia Jackson Lee (D-TX) would impose new mandates within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which require employees holding non-cybersecurity positions within the department, to be trained in matters relating to cybersecurity. The bill requires the program curriculum to be consistent with the "National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Framework" and is expected to cost $1 million annually to implement (not including lost employee time). There are already countless existing initiatives surrounding cybersecurity across the federal government. President Trump's proposed FY 2026 budget included significant cuts to bloated cybersecurity-related bureaucracy, including a cut of nearly 20% to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the elimination of hundreds of positions.

Under the bill, the Department of Energy (DOE) will award financial grants to select companies "involved in the development of next generation pipeline systems, components, and related technologies". In April of 2025, the Trump administration significantly slashed nearly $10 billion of similar research and development grants to the one proposed in this act at the DOE.

GOP Platform Position: Support
The "Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act" sponsored by Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI) would combat radical bail policies by ensuring judges and prosecutors know a defendant's criminal history, while also bring accountability to the bail system. Specifically, the bill would allow state and local jurisdictions to use Byrne grant funding to develop and maintain a public safety report for each defendant charged with a violent offense and report this information to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The legislation would also define bail bonds as an "insurance product" to require compliance with federal insurance fraud laws and background check requirements - thus preventing "bail crowdsourcing".

The office is tasked with relocating and resettling eligible Afghan allies and facilitating the departure from Afghanistan of U.S. citizens who request assistance. The bill would provide CARE with greater flexibility to hire personnel and allow the office to transfer funds to and from other federal agencies. In May 2025, the President Trump's State Department sent Congress a notification that the CARE Office would be eliminated by July 1.

Fueling Run-Away Spending and Enriching Government Favored Non-Profits Through the "America's Conservation Enhancement Reauthorization Act".
Against GOP
GOP Platform Position: Oppose
The "America's Conservation Enhancement Reauthorization Act of 2024" sponsored by Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE) increases spending on several wildlife and conservation programs and reauthorizes them through 2030. A significant portion of the funding is directed towards non-profit organizations such as the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and certain quasi-government entities like the Chesapeake Bay Program. In February 2025, NFWF warned grantees funded through USDA and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) to halt active projects, due to broader USDA/FWS funding freezes under an executive mandate from President Trump to pause federal grants. President Trump's FY 2026 budget also made substantial cuts to FWS - particulary its granting.

Socializing the Costs of Regional Projects onto Federal Taxpayers through the "Thomas R. Carper Water Resources Development Act".
Against GOP
GOP Platform Position: Oppose
The "Thomas R. Carper Water Resources Development Act of 2024" sponsored by Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE) would direct the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) to carry out 17 new water infrastructure projects and study dozens of other potential ones. Some of the authorized ventures include a $2.7 billion storm risk reduction effort in Miami, a $26.7 million stormwater management initiative outside Memphis, Tennessee, and $2.1 billion toward restoration of the Everglades. President Trump's FY 2026 Budget Proposal significantly cut many of the projects within the WRDA. This includes over $2 billion in ACE water infrastructure cuts, an 88% cut ($2.1 billion) to WRDA's clean water and drinking water state revolving funds, and over $2 billion in cuts to EPA projects suported by the WRDA.
