PolicyStrengthening Community Services GrantsThis federal bill would improve a program that gives money to local groups that help families with low incomes. These groups offer things like job training, housing help, and emergency assistance in your community.

PolicyResolution to End Unauthorized Action in Iran (IV)This federal resolution says Congress must approve before the military can take action in Iran. It protects the role of Congress in deciding when the country goes to war, which affects military families and national security.

PolicyMaking National Holiday and Patriotic Rules Easy to FindThis law organized all the rules about national holidays, special ceremonies, and patriotic groups into one clear section of federal law. It made these important rules much easier for everyone to find and understand without changing what they actually say.
