This Senate resolution designates July 15, 2026, as "Glioblastoma Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about glioblastoma, the most common and deadly form of malignant brain tumor. The resolution notes that over 13,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2026, with more than 10,000 dying from it annually, and highlights the disease's grim statistics, including a 5-year survival rate of just 7 percent and a median survival of only 8 months. It honors patients who have died from or are currently living with glioblastoma, along with their families and caregivers, and calls for continued research investment through initiatives like the National Cancer Institute's Glioblastoma Therapeutics Network. The resolution also emphasizes the importance of molecular biomarker testing for diagnosis and urges collaboration among government, private, and nonprofit organizations to advance treatment options. As a symbolic resolution, it does not include funding or binding requirements but serves to draw attention to the disease and support ongoing research efforts.

This bill increases federal criminal penalties for stealing firearms from licensed gun dealers and manufacturers. It amends existing federal law to impose a maximum 20-year prison sentence for knowingly violating firearms theft laws, with mandatory minimum sentences of at least 3 years for theft during a burglary and at least 5 years for theft during a robbery. The legislation affects anyone who commits or attempts to commit these crimes, as well as licensed firearms dealers, manufacturers, and importers whose inventory could be targeted. The bill does not include specific funding provisions or implementation timelines beyond the statutory amendments themselves. It was introduced in the Senate in June 2026 with bipartisan sponsorship and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Secure America ActThis act provides $70 billion in funding to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through FY2029 for immigration enforcement, border security, and related activities.It is known as a reconciliation bill and includes legislation submitted by certain congressional committees pursuant to provisions in the FY2026 congressional budget resolution (S. Con. Res. 33) that directed the committees to submit legislation to the House or Senate Budget Committee that will increase the deficit. (Reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.)TITLE I--COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS(Sec. 101) This section provides funding for CBP to hire, pay, train, and equip Border Patrol agents and Border Patrol support personnel to conduct functions other than immigration enforcement and customs functions.The funds provided by this section may not be used to recruit, hire, or train personnel for the duties of processing coordinators after October 31, 2028.(Sec. 102) This section provides funding to ICE for (1) hiring, paying, training, and equipping Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) agents and support personnel; and (2) other necessary expenses for HSI’s mission support and operations and maintenance.It also requires specified funds to be used to hire, pay, and equip additional child exploitation investigators and forensics analysts for certain HSI offices to (1) support the identification and rescue of victims of child sexual exploitation and abuse, and (2) train such personnel and state and local law enforcement regarding identifying victims of child sexual exploitation and abuse.The funds provided by this section must be used for functions other than those related to HSI’s immigration enforcement and customs enforcement missions.(Sec. 103) This section provides funding to CBP for border security, technology, and screening, includingprocurement and integration of new nonintrusive inspection equipment and associated civil works (e.g., artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other innovative technologies) and other mission support to combat the entry or exit of illicit narcotics at ports of entry and along the southwest, northern, and maritime borders;upgrading and procurement of platforms for rapid air and marine response capabilities;upgrading and procurement of border surveillance technologies along the southwest, northern, and maritime borders;necessary expenses, including the deployment of technology, relating to the biometric entry and exit system under the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004;enhancing border security by combating drug trafficking, including fentanyl and its precursor chemicals, at the southwest, northern, and maritime borders; andnecessary expenses for CBP's mission support and operations and maintenance for functions other than those related to its immigration enforcement and customs missions.None of the funds provided by this section may be used for the procurement or deployment of surveillance towers along the southwest border and the northern border that have not been tested and accepted by CBP to deliver autonomous capabilities.Under this section the term autonomous means a system designed to apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, or other algorithms to accurately detect, identify, classify, and track items of

The Coast Guard Personnel Equipment Act would extend federal "Buy American" requirements to the Coast Guard, ensuring that the service must purchase certain articles and equipment from American sources, just as the Department of Defense currently must do. The bill amends existing federal law to include the Coast Guard alongside other military branches in these domestic procurement rules. The legislation affects the Coast Guard and the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Coast Guard when it is not operating under Navy command during wartime. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, instead modifying existing procurement authorities and responsibilities. This change would support American manufacturers and suppliers by guaranteeing that Coast Guard personnel equipment purchases prioritize domestic producers.

This bill would raise the mandatory retirement age for commercial airline pilots from 65 to 67 years old. Pilots flying in major airline operations under federal regulations could work until age 67, while pilots at smaller carriers can work until age 70 if their employer chooses to allow it. The bill applies to pilots currently employed in these operations on the date of enactment, but pilots who had already reached age 65 before the law passes would need to be rehired without seniority credit if they want to continue working. The legislation requires that pilots over 60 maintain first-class medical certificates renewed every six months, and it does not change existing safety training requirements, leaving those standards to be maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Logan's Law would require the federal government to establish a publicly searchable database of individuals convicted of violent crimes within 180 days of enactment. The database would include both federal and state convictions for crimes involving physical force or substantial risk thereof, and would be searchable by name, address, date of birth, conviction type, sentencing information, and other relevant details. All states that receive federal Byrne JAG criminal justice grants would be required to submit their violent crime conviction records to populate the database within 180 days, with non-compliance resulting in loss of grant funding that could instead be redirected to local governments. Additionally, the Attorney General would be required to submit a report within 180 days identifying barriers to information sharing among state and federal prosecutors and recommending improvements to ensure criminal records are shared nationwide. The bill does not specify dedicated funding for database development or maintenance beyond the grant penalty mechanism.

Each committee must submit the recommendations to the House or Senate Budget Committee by May 15, 2026. (Under current law, reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.)In addition, the resolution establishes reserve funds that allow certain adjustments to committee allocations and other budgetary levels to accommodate (1) reconciliation legislation, and (2) legislation that would not increase the deficit over FY2026-FY2035 and supports changes to immigration enforcement and border security policy undertaken by the President.Finally, the resolution sets forth budget enforcement procedures that address issues such as budget points of order in the Senate and emergency spending requirements in the House.

This bill revises tribal membership requirements for the Catawba Indian Nation (a tribe in South Carolina).The Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993 explicitly restricted the tribe’s future membership to lineal descendants of people on the final base membership roll who maintained continuous political relations with the tribe. This bill removes these membership criteria and allows the tribe to determine its membership. (The tribe uses three base membership rolls and anyone who wants to be enrolled must prove lineal descent from someone listed on one of these base membership rolls.)

This bill would make it a federal crime for state and local government officials to restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities regarding the release of non-citizens who have been charged with or convicted of crimes. Specifically, it targets officials who prevent their jurisdictions from providing advance notice to the Department of Homeland Security when releasing criminal aliens from custody. The legislation imposes severe penalties on responsible executive officials, with prison sentences ranging from 30 days to 25 years depending on the severity of crimes committed by the released individuals. Officials who obstruct notification requirements for those charged with murder, rape, or sex offenses against minors could face 10-25 years in prison, while obstruction involving serious violent felonies carries 5-10 years. The bill would effectively end so-called "sanctuary city" policies by criminalizing non-cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, though it does not specify any federal funding or implementation timeline beyond requiring 48 hours advance notice when possible.

S. 3781 is a straightforward bill that authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor to James Capers, Jr., a former Marine Corps member, for his exceptional bravery during the Vietnam War between March 31 and April 3, 1967. The bill waives the normal time limits for awarding the Medal of Honor, which typically have strict deadlines for nominations and awards. Capers was previously recognized for his valor with the Silver Star, the military's third-highest combat decoration. The bill contains no funding requirements or specific implementation timeline beyond authorizing the President to make this award at his discretion. This legislation essentially clears the way for the nation's highest military honor to be bestowed on Capers for actions that occurred nearly 60 years ago.

The Medal of Sacrifice Act establishes a new presidential medal to honor law enforcement officers and first responders who are killed in the line of duty. The bill creates a 12-member Commission appointed by the President within 150 days of enactment, comprised of law enforcement professionals and representatives of relevant organizations, to design the medal, determine eligibility, and oversee its presentation. Law enforcement and first responders from local, state, tribal, territorial, and federal agencies are eligible for the medal, except those found to have acted outside their duties or violated agency policy at the time of their death—in such cases, the Commission investigates and makes a final eligibility determination. The bill specifies the medal's design as a silver and 24-karat gold medal featuring the Great Seal of the United States, heraldic elements, and the names of fallen officers engraved on the reverse, and it immediately awards the medal to three named deputies. The Commission operates without federal funding for its members and continues until the President determines it has completed its responsibilities.

The Save the Kurds Act imposes new terrorism designations and financial sanctions on Syria to address regional security concerns. The bill requires the State Department to designate Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (al-Nusrah Front) as a foreign terrorist organization and creates a structured process—with a 90 to 120-day congressional review period—that allows Congress to block any presidential decision to remove Syria's "state sponsor of terrorism" designation through an expedited vote. The legislation also implements comprehensive sanctions against Syria's Central Bank, government-owned financial institutions, and foreign banks doing business with them, including asset freezes and visa bans on institutional leaders, with the sanctions list subject to review every 180 days and limited exceptions available at the President's discretion. Violators face significant penalties up to $250,000 in civil fines and up to 20 years in prison, with the President granted broad enforcement authority and required to issue implementing regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The law automatically expires five years after enactment unless Congress votes to extend it, ensuring periodic review of its continued necessity.

S. 3744 would create a new federal crime targeting state and local government officials who obstruct immigration enforcement through their policies or practices. The bill makes it illegal for officers, employees, or contractors of state and local governments to knowingly adopt or enforce laws, regulations, or policies that prevent federal immigration officers from accessing detention facilities, conceal immigrants facing removal, release them without notifying federal authorities, restrict cooperation with immigration enforcement, or ignore federal detention requests. Violations would carry significant criminal penalties: up to life imprisonment if a released immigrant subsequently commits a crime resulting in someone's death, up to 20 years imprisonment for crimes resulting in serious bodily injury, and up to 10 years imprisonment for other violations. The bill targets what it characterizes as "sanctuary" policies that limit immigration enforcement cooperation. There is no specific funding authorization or implementation timeline mentioned in the legislation.
