H.J.Res. 142

Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025.

Signed into Law

Congress used its oversight power over D.C. to block a local tax law the D.C. Council passed in December 2025. D.C. normally mirrors federal tax changes automatically, but after the big federal tax bill passed, the D.C. Council tried to decouple from some of those provisions, including changes to standard deductions, tipped wages, and property depreciation. Congress overrode that move and forced D.C. back into conformity.

S. 269

Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act

Signed into Law

Makes it permanent for the Treasury Department to access Social Security's death records so the government can catch and stop payments going to people who have died. Previously, this data-sharing arrangement had to be renewed every three years. The fix is straightforward: keep the Do Not Pay system plugged into the Death Master File without a sunset date.

How This Works

We read the bill text

Every analysis starts with the actual legislation, voting records, and official reports. Not news coverage, not opinion columns.

We lay out both sides

Real pros and real cons, each backed by specific sources. If the evidence is stronger on one side, the sources show that on their own.
