Iran War Powers Withdrawal Resolution
Senate vote · 50-48
Democrats44–1Republicans4–47Independents2–0Official title: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
What this does
This concurrent resolution invokes section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to direct the President to pull United States Armed Forces out of hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It carves out forces the President finds necessary to defend the United States or an ally or partner from an imminent attack. That self-defense exception applies only if the President fully meets the reporting requirements of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution for any such use of force. The directive also does not apply where military action is explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or by a specific congressional authorization for the use of military force against Iran.
The resolution is a single operative clause with no divisions, titles, or unrelated riders. Everything it directs concerns removing forces from hostilities with Iran under the War Powers Resolution, so it reads as one self-contained measure.

21st Century ROAD to Housing Act
Senate vote · 85-5
Democrats41–0Republicans42–5Independents2–0What this does
This law is a housing package spanning twelve titles. It reauthorizes the HOME Investment Partnerships program and rewrites how housing qualifies for it, raising the home-ownership purchase-price ceiling from 95 to 110 percent and extending eligibility to families earning up to 100 percent of area median income. It reforms federal housing counseling programs. It directs HUD to publish model code guidelines for single-stair, point-access block residential buildings up to six stories. It exempts USDA rural housing built on infill sites from environmental study requirements. It creates pilot programs, including an FHA small-dollar mortgage pilot for loans of $100,000 or less, a whole-home repairs pilot, a temperature-sensor pilot, and an escrow pilot that shields a tenant's rising earnings from rent increases. It raises FHA multifamily mortgage loan limits and the loan caps for manufactured-home and property-improvement financing. It converts the Rental Assistance Demonstration into a permanent program and raises its unit cap from 455,000 to 555,000. It creates competitive grants tied to local housing supply growth, including a $200,000,000-per-year Innovation Fund for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, and adjusts Community Development Block Grant allocations to reward jurisdictions that build more housing and cut those that build less. It lets manufactured homes be built without a permanent chassis and requires states to treat them on par with chassis-built homes or prohibit their sale. It bars large institutional investors that control 350 or more single-family homes from buying additional single-family homes, subject to broad exceptions, with civil penalties up to $1,000,000 or three times the purchase price. It prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency. It relaxes several bank and credit-union rules, including raising the asset threshold for on-site supervisory testing from $3,000,000,000 to $6,000,000,000. It authorizes no additional appropriations.
A member could not vote for this housing package without also voting to prohibit the Federal Reserve from creating a central bank digital currency. That prohibition, in Title XI, is a monetary-policy measure with no connection to housing. Title IX likewise carries a set of bank and credit-union rule changes, framed as strengthening community banks' role in housing but reaching general banking supervision, such as raising the supervisory-testing asset threshold to $6,000,000,000 and easing brokered-deposit limits. The other ten titles all serve housing: financing, supply, manufactured housing, veterans, program reform, and oversight. The title names a housing bill. The text also carries currency and banking policy.

Secure America Act
Senate vote · 52-47
Democrats0–44Republicans52–1Independents0–2Official title: Estimated Budgetary Effects of S. 2, the Secure America Act
What this does
Appropriates roughly $69.5 billion for border and immigration enforcement for fiscal year 2026, to remain available until September 30, 2029. Title I funds $9.55 billion for Border Patrol agents and support personnel doing work other than immigration and customs enforcement, $7.45 billion for Homeland Security Investigations (of which $108.5 million goes to child exploitation investigators and forensics analysts), $3.45 billion for inspection, surveillance, and screening technology, and $2.5 billion in additional Homeland Security funds. Title II funds $13.02 billion for Customs and Border Protection to carry out immigration enforcement, $31.075 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and another $2.5 billion for Homeland Security. Inside the ICE money, at least $350 million is set aside to arrest 'covered unlawful aliens' encountered in jurisdictions that have not signed a 287(g) agreement or certified compliance with federal information-sharing law, and none of that set-aside may be used to release those aliens into the community except as required by existing law. The ICE money also funds expansion of 287(g) agreements with state and local authorities. The bill is written as reconciliation pursuant to title II of S. Con. Res. 33.
A single yes released all seven appropriations together, from Border Patrol hiring to the $31.075 billion ICE account, with no way to fund some and withhold others. Policy conditions ride inside the money: the $350 million set-aside restricts releasing detained aliens, its 'covered unlawful alien' definition reaches people charged or arrested but not convicted, and the funds are directed toward expanding 287(g) agreements. Every provision serves one subject, border and immigration enforcement, so this reads as a single-subject reconciliation package rather than an omnibus of unrelated divisions.

Overturning the BLM Public Land Order 7917
Senate vote · 50-49
Democrats0–45Republicans50–2Independents0–2Official title: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to Public Land Order No. 7917 for Withdrawal of Federal Lands; Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, MN.
What this does
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to overturn a Bureau of Land Management action. It disapproves the rule relating to Public Land Order No. 7917, which withdrew federal lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, Minnesota, and provides that the rule has no force or effect. The disapproved order is identified as published at 88 Fed. Reg. 6308 on January 31, 2023.
Single subject. The resolution does one thing: nullify a single named Bureau of Land Management land-withdrawal order under the Congressional Review Act.
