More Homes on the Market Act
This bill would let homeowners keep much more profit tax-free when they sell their main home. Backers say that could persuade more longtime owners to sell, opening up housing supply for buyers who are struggling in a tight market.

Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act
Every time you swipe your credit card, the transaction carries a merchant category code that tells your bank what kind of store you were in. Grocery store, gas station, pet shop — each gets a code. In 2022, gun stores got their own code for the first time, separate from general sporting goods. This bill says that singles out lawful gun buyers and would force firearms retailers back into broader categories where their customers blend in.
Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025
Rent keeps climbing, and the waitlist for affordable housing in your city probably has more names on it than available units. The tax credit that funds most affordable apartment construction in the country hasn't been meaningfully expanded in years. H.R. 2725 would change that with the largest proposed increase to the program since its creation — and 82 Republicans and 82 Democrats have signed on, making it one of the most evenly bipartisan bills in the 119th Congress.
Give Kids a Chance Act of 2025
Your child is diagnosed with cancer. A drug already exists that targets the exact molecular mutation driving the tumor — but it's only approved for adults. The company that makes it may not study whether it works in kids for years. This bill changes that: if your drug targets a pathway that matters in childhood cancer, you test it in children.
SAVE Act
Right now, you register to vote by checking a box and signing your name under penalty of perjury. Under H.R. 22, that would no longer be enough. You would need to physically present a passport, a REAL ID that flags your citizenship, a military ID with service records, or a birth certificate that meets seven specific requirements — down to the seal and the signatures. If you registered by mail, you would still have to show up in person before your registration counted.
Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025
A man walks into a Target in Miami, scans a 99-cent taco seasoning packet at self-checkout instead of the trading cards in his basket, and walks out. He does it again in Fort Lauderdale. Then Orlando. Seventy-five times across Florida before anyone connects the thefts — [because no single store saw enough to trigger a major investigation](https://www.newsweek.com/florida-man-accused-taco-seasoning-steal-40k-target-cards-11610354). He resold over $40,000 worth of cards on eBay. Meanwhile, in Southern California, [thieves posing as a legitimate motor carrier stole 378,000 tins of nicotine pouches](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tucker-carlsons-alp-starts-national-173600262.html) worth millions from a logistics facility — spoofing GPS tracking and using fake carrier credentials to vanish with the shipment. These aren't petty crimes. They're professionally organized operations that exploit a gap: there is no federal crime called "organized retail theft." This bill creates one.
Carried Interest Fairness Act of 2025
Every few years, Congress rediscovers that private equity and hedge fund managers pay capital gains rates on income that looks, walks, and functions like a paycheck. Every few years, the loophole survives. H.R. 1091 is the latest attempt to end it — and it arrives weeks after the carried interest break sailed untouched through the largest tax bill in a generation.
Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act
Congress wants to let small manufacturers borrow a lot more, backed by taxpayers, in the name of rebuilding U.S. industry. The bet is that bigger, cheaper loans can reshore production faster than they inflate risk in a fragile sector.
Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act
Congress is testing whether a few extra lines of ink on student IDs can save young lives. A new bipartisan bill would put crisis hotlines in every student’s pocket as youth suicide rates keep climbing.
Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025
Right now, if you buy or build anything in crypto, nobody can tell you which federal agency is in charge. H.R. 3633 ends that. It splits the job between two regulators, writes the first federal rules for token sales and exchanges, and draws a hard line: your personal wallet is yours, and the Fed will never issue a digital dollar.
Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act
Congress is poised to turn a COVID emergency workaround into a core Medicare benefit, letting more seniors get hospital‑level care in their living rooms. The bet: that home can be cheaper and safer than a hospital bed — before the evidence is fully in.
GENIUS Act
Congress is jumping into the stablecoin game, laying out the first national guidelines for digital dollar-pegged tokens. The GENIUS Act could open doors for financial innovation—and put up some guardrails.

In the 119th Congress, bipartisan momentum is consolidating around H.R. 1262 and H.R. 1422, each with more than 290 cosponsors, putting both health and foreign policy squarely in the top tier of must-watch legislation. The Senate is meanwhile using Unanimous Consent to move noncontroversial measures such as STEM and Digital Coast bills, even as Crime and Law Enforcement leads the field in overall bill volume and lobbying activity across the 250 bills tracked. Outside groups are making their biggest bet on H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which has drawn 105 organizations and $4.6 million in lobbying spend, underscoring how urgently industry wants crypto rules settled.
