This is a symbolic resolution celebrating the NATO Summit held in Ankara, Turkey in July 2026 and reaffirming U.S. commitment to the alliance. The resolution acknowledges that NATO allies collectively pledged $80 billion in military support to Ukraine in 2026 and committed to increasing defense spending to at least 5 percent of each country's gross domestic product by 2035. The measure also highlights Russian aggression against NATO members, including drone incursions into Romania and infrastructure attacks in Poland, Germany, and the United Kingdom, as well as threats to the alliance's broader security interests. While this is a non-binding resolution with no direct funding or implementation timeline, it expresses Senate support for strengthening NATO's collective defense capabilities and continued military assistance to Ukraine. The resolution was introduced by Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Thom Tillis in August 2026 and was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

This Senate resolution celebrates Ukraine's 35th anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union, which occurred on August 24, 1991. The resolution honors Ukraine's democratic journey, including major protest movements like the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Euromaidan protests in 2013, while condemning Russia's illegal 2014 annexation of Crimea and its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Senate recognizes over 16,000 Ukrainian civilian deaths and numerous military casualties since the invasion began, and affirms continued U.S. support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The resolution encourages the U.S. Government to provide strong security guarantees to Ukraine, work toward a lasting peace agreement, and learn from Ukraine's military innovations in drone warfare and defense technology. As a resolution rather than legislation, this does not create new laws or require funding, but instead expresses the Senate's official position and support for Ukraine.

This bill creates a new position called the Coordinator for Disabled Small Business Concerns within the Small Business Administration's Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Civil Rights. The Coordinator will develop strategies and programs to help disabled entrepreneurs access capital, contracting opportunities, and business counseling services. The law requires the SBA to designate someone with relevant experience to this position within 180 days of enactment, and mandates that the Coordinator hold public stakeholder meetings every six months starting one year after the bill passes to evaluate program effectiveness and identify gaps in support. The bill also requires the SBA to collect voluntary data on disability status through program intake forms within one year and submit a comprehensive report to Congress within two years with recommendations for further supporting disabled small business owners. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the legislation, though the bill requires the SBA to publicly report data on services provided to disabled entrepreneurs.

The Lebanon Sanctions, Stabilization, and Support Act authorizes the President to impose economic and immigration sanctions against foreign individuals and entities that support Iran's financing of armed groups like Hezbollah, obstruct Lebanon's disarmament efforts, or impede financial sector reforms. The bill affects anyone supporting these activities, including financial actors, government officials, and Hezbollah operatives, and includes asset freezes, banking restrictions, and visa bans. The legislation provides substantial support to Lebanon's government, including up to $240 million over five years in military financing and training for Lebanese security forces, $20 million annually for three years to support military and police salaries, and humanitarian assistance for reconstruction. Additional contingent funding becomes available if Lebanon demonstrates meaningful progress in countering Iranian proxy forces and expanding legitimate government services. The Secretary of State must provide detailed briefings and reports to Congress every 120 days initially and annually for three years on progress toward disarming Hezbollah, implementing banking reforms, normalizing relations with Israel, and managing humanitarian needs, with all sanctions provisions expiring five years after enactment.
