For nearly two decades, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has regulated greenhouse gas emissions by treating carbon dioxide (CO2) as a pollutant. The current administration is working to change this policy.

In the U.S. House of Representatives, the majority party (currently Republicans) controls the legislative agenda, meaning they can determine which proposals come up for debate and a vote. There is one exception: a discharge petition.

Under current law, more than 20 million Americans receive subsidies to purchase health insurance through state-administered insurance exchanges. The original legislation that established these subsidies is the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as “Obamacare”. A large chunk of these subsidies will expire on December 31, 2025, unless Congress extends them.
