A budget reconciliation package covering immigration enforcement and law enforcement spending. Passage followed two days of votes on dozens of amendments. The bill now goes to the House.
Iran War Powers 2026
A series of votes over three months on whether to direct the President to end U.S. military involvement in hostilities with Iran. The House rejected the measure three times (March, April, May) before passing it in June; the Senate forced a companion resolution out of committee in May. The arc shows where each member stood as the conflict continued.
A procedural vote that forced an Iran war powers resolution out of committee so the full Senate could consider it. Four Republicans joined most Democrats. It was the seventh attempt since March and the first to succeed.
A tie vote on whether to take up a measure about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's withdrawn rule on medical-debt collection. Rejected 50–50.
Confirmed Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve, the body that sets interest rates that shape mortgage rates, credit card rates, and inflation policy. The Fed chair is one of the most consequential economic confirmation votes the Senate takes.
Sets Congress's overall budget plan for fiscal year 2026 and spending levels through 2035. A budget resolution is a blueprint, not a spending law, but it unlocks the reconciliation process that lets the majority pass certain bills with a simple Senate majority.
Repeals a federal order that had withdrawn lands in northern Minnesota (near the Boundary Waters) from new mining. One of the closest votes of the year and a flashpoint between mining jobs and wilderness protection.
Would have started debate on repealing the Department of Veterans Affairs rule that allows VA facilities to provide certain reproductive health services, including abortion counseling and abortions in limited cases. The Senate declined to take it up by two votes.
Confirmed Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security, the department that runs immigration enforcement, border security, and disaster response.
A broadly bipartisan bill aimed at increasing the supply of housing in the U.S. The Senate passed it 89–10. One of the few major bipartisan economic bills of the year, at a time when housing costs are a top voter concern.
The Senate version of the House resolution, introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D) with Sen. Rand Paul (R) as an original co-sponsor. It was blocked on March 4, 2026, largely along party lines — with Rand Paul voting for it and Sen. John Fetterman voting against it. Because the resolution was stuck in committee, Kaine had to use a procedural "motion to discharge" to force it to the floor — and that motion itself failed, meaning the full Senate never even got a direct vote on the substance.
