Take Action

The "Digital Privacy & Security Act of 2025" is a comprehensive new bill aimed at giving citizens more control over their personal data. It would require tech companies to use plain language in their privacy policies, obtain explicit consent before collecting data, and allow users to easily delete their information. Supporters argue it's a necessary step to protect consumers in the digital age, while opponents claim it will stifle innovation and create burdensome regulations for businesses.

The "Universal Childcare Accessibility Act" proposes federal subsidies to make childcare affordable for all working families, capping costs at 7% of household income. It would establish quality standards for childcare facilities and provide tax credits for childcare workers to address staffing shortages. Supporters argue it would enable more parents to join the workforce, boost economic growth, and ensure children receive quality early education. Opponents claim it represents government overreach, would be prohibitively expensive, and could reduce parental choice by favoring institutional care over family-based arrangements.

The "Clean Energy Infrastructure Investment Plan" allocates $200 billion over 10 years to modernize the national power grid, expand renewable energy production, and create green jobs in rural and urban communities. The bill includes funding for solar and wind projects, battery storage facilities, and retraining programs for workers in fossil fuel industries. Supporters argue it's essential for addressing climate change, will create millions of jobs, and reduce long-term energy costs for consumers. Opponents contend it unfairly subsidizes certain industries, could raise electricity prices in the short term, and should let the private sector drive energy innovation without government intervention.

Ties federal highway and transportation funding to local municipalities' willingness to eliminate single-family exclusionary zoning laws, encouraging high-density housing construction. Proponents say local NIMBYism is entirely to blame for the housing crisis and federal pressure is the only solution. Opponents argue this is a massive federal overreach into local government affairs that will destroy suburban neighborhood character.

Addresses the severe droughts in the Western US by funding desalination plants, aggressive water recycling programs, and buying out water rights from water-intensive agricultural operations. Supporters warn that water scarcity is a national security crisis requiring immediate, drastic action. Opponents (especially agricultural lobbies) argue the buyout programs will decimate rural farming communities and dramatically increase food prices.

A major investigation into the alleged misappropriation of millions in federal childcare subsidies in Minnesota. The case involves allegations that funds intended for low-income families were diverted through various childcare centers. While prosecutors seek to recover funds and hold individuals accountable, community leaders emphasize the need for systemic reforms to ensure legitimate childcare providers and families are not unfairly penalized by new oversight measures.

Establishes clear jurisdictional lines between the SEC and CFTC regarding digital assets and requires stablecoin issuers to maintain 1:1 liquid dollar reserves. Crypto advocates generally support the regulatory clarity, hoping it will legitimize the industry in the US. Skeptics and strict regulators argue the bill is too lenient and creates loopholes that will lead to another massive market crash and consumer exploitation.

Mandates that manufacturers of consumer electronics, agricultural equipment, and home appliances provide the public and independent repair shops with parts, tools, and manuals. Supporters champion consumer freedom, reduced e-waste, and breaking manufacturer monopolies. Opponents, primarily industry groups, argue this poses severe cybersecurity risks, intellectual property theft, and danger to consumers repairing complex lithium-ion batteries.

Criminalizes the distribution of materially deceptive, AI-generated audio or visual media (deepfakes) of political candidates within 90 days of an election. Supporters say this is a critical defense against misinformation campaigns designed to steal elections. Opponents express deep concern over First Amendment violations and the difficulty of defining what constitutes 'materially deceptive' satire versus malicious intent.

Provides $200 billion over ten years to modernize the US electrical grid, specifically to handle the increased load from EVs and integrate renewable energy sources. Advocates argue our current grid is failing and modernization is essential for climate goals. Critics argue the cost is exorbitant and that funds should be directed toward expanding nuclear energy instead of overhauling transmission lines for wind and solar.

Makes permanent the pandemic-era waivers that allowed Medicare and Medicaid to cover a wider range of telehealth services, including audio-only mental health consultations. Proponents emphasize increased healthcare access for rural communities and the elderly. Opponents worry about increased Medicare fraud, over-billing, and a potential decrease in the quality of care compared to in-person visits.

A massive funding initiative to provide free pre-kindergarten for all four-year-olds and subsidize childcare costs for lower- and middle-income families. Supporters state it is crucial for early childhood development and allowing parents to remain in the workforce. Opponents raise concerns about the high tax burden required to fund the program and potential negative impacts on private childcare providers.
