Georgia drivers are waking up to higher gas prices today as the state's gas tax suspension, worth about 33 cents per gallon, expired at midnight.
Use our gas tax holiday calculator to see how much a suspension of state, federal, or both gas taxes could save you ⤵️
🌎 The STEAM Act, led by @RepSusieLee and @RepMaloyUtah, streamlines the review process for geothermal projects, easing permitting barriers so that we can safely unleash American energy resources.
🚨 It’s time to advance this bill in the Senate!
BPC Action is glad to see the House pass geothermal legislation this week! 👏
This Geothermal Energy Advancement Act package includes two BPCA-endorsed bills, the GEO Act and the STEAM Act. #Geothermal will expand American clean energy, improve grid reliability, and create jobs.
🌎 The GEO Act, led by @RepMaloyUtah and @RepSusieLee, would expedite the federal permitting process to streamline applications for geothermal projects.
We applaud these members for working together on this issue and urge Senate action on this bill.
💡BPC Action is happy to see the BUILD America 250 Act include a provision similar to a BPC Action-supported bill, the Build More Housing Near Transit Act.
Both have affordable housing incentives in capital investment grants to promote housing development near transit corridors.
🚙Without action, the Highway Trust Fund will be fully depleted by 2028. BPCA applauds @RepSamGraves & @RepRickLarsen for the bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act.
We encourage Congress to commit to fully paying for the reauthorization according to user-pay, user-benefit principles.
The @BPCAction will host its annual Terwilliger Center Summit on Housing Supply Solutions. The summit will include thought leaders, policymakers, & housing providers to identify bipartisan solutions on the affordable homes shortage. Learn more here: https://t.co/G21xwmviGV.
We applaud @SenatorLankford and @SenatorHassan for leading the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act. Shutdowns hurt families and the economy—and do nothing to fix the broken appropriations process. This commonsense bill keeps government open while keeping Congress at the table.
We’re proud to support the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Reauthorization, led by @RepFeenstra & @RepGolden. This bill boosts #RuralHealth by helping small rural hospitals remain financially viable and continue serving their communities.

The House just passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, 396-13! This is a major step in the fight for housing affordability. Congrats to @RepFrenchHill (R-AR) and @RepMaxineWaters (D-CA) for their leadership in advancing this critical bipartisan bill.
💡 Most of the intended targets of the 2025 tax law recognize the benefits, but not where they came from.
Ahead of the @WaysandMeansGOP@WaysMeansCmte Tax Subcommittee hearing on the law's impact, explore more takeaways from recent BPC polling: https://t.co/6wRxEVeXUr:
👏 We applaud @HouseForeignGOP and @HouseForeign for working together to advance the bipartisan DOMINANCE ACT at today’s markup.
This bill plays a crucial role in national security, helping the U.S. build trusted partnerships to access reliable sources of critical minerals.
Gas prices have risen ~36% since February, and lawmakers from both parties have proposed suspending the federal gas tax. Drivers might save 10-16 cents/gallon, but it could add ~$12B to the federal deficit.
We explain what Congress is weighing:
BPC Action applauds @CongressmanGT & @RepBonamici for leading the bipartisan Skill Savings Account Act! The bill aligns with BPC's Commission on the American Workforce recommendations to help Americans reskill and upskill, building a stronger workforce & more competitive economy.
2026 has brought headline after headline about how poorly Congress is doing.
@kevinrkosar points out that--against the tide--some members like @RepBice are trying to turn the ship around. @BPC_Bipartisan is proud to continue working with her and the ModSub to deliver Americans the representative government they deserve.
