This bill would protect families and businesses from rising electricity bills by making data centers pay more of the costs they create for the power grid. It would require federal regulators to set new rules for how data centers connect to the electric grid and how they are charged for electricity. This aims to stop everyday electricity users from subsidizing the rapid growth of data centers.

This bill would create new federal grants for public transportation systems in cities and towns. These grants would help improve bus and train services, make them safer, and increase security. This means riders could see more frequent service, better routes, and safer commutes.

This bill would stop a golf course from being built at the Greenbury Point Conservation Area in Annapolis, Maryland. It would ensure the area remains available for public use and allow for environmental restoration work. This means the area would not be developed into a golf course.

This bill would create a new Special Envoy within the State Department to advocate for humanitarian aid workers around the world. It would also stop certain US security assistance to foreign countries that unlawfully kill or injure these aid workers. Currently, there is no dedicated official or specific law to ensure such accountability and protection.
