  Rein In Drug Middlemen

  Reins in the pharmacy benefit managers who sit between drugmakers and pharmacies. It curbs tactics like “spread pricing,” requires PBMs to pass manufacturer rebates through to health plans, and unlinks their pay from a drug's list price.

  Restore Impoundment Power

  Repeals the 1974 law that bars a president from refusing to spend money Congress has appropriated. It would let the president “impound” funds, that is, decline to spend them, to hold down federal outlays.

  Constitutional Spending Cap

  A constitutional amendment capping total federal spending in a year at the average revenue collected over the prior three years, forcing the budget toward balance over time. It would also require a two-thirds vote of both chambers to raise any tax. The House voted on it in 2026 and it fell short of the two-thirds required.

  Bipartisan Fiscal Commission

  Creates a bipartisan commission of lawmakers and outside experts to write a plan to stabilize the debt, with a guaranteed up-or-down vote in Congress. It doesn't choose the spending cuts or tax increases itself; it forces a process to decide.

  Permanently Schedule Fentanyl-Related Drugs

  Permanently places all fentanyl-related substances into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the most tightly controlled category, so making or selling any chemical cousin of fentanyl carries the same penalties as fentanyl itself. Before this, the class was scheduled only under temporary orders that had to be renewed.

  Sanction Chinese Fentanyl Suppliers
