Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representatives Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Blake Moore (UT-01) introduced the bipartisan Gambling Disorder Health Study Act, new legislation that would direct the federal government to conduct a comprehensive, multi-year investigation into the causes, development, and long-term effects of gambling disorder and to evaluate prevention, treatment, and intervention strategies. Despite a skyrocketing percentage of Americans engaging in online gambling following the overturn of the federal ban on sports betting, no federal agency is currently designated or funded to lead national research in this area. This legislation would appropriate 10% of the federal excise tax revenue on state-authorized wagers to fund this study for up to three fiscal years.

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representatives Dan Goldman (D-NY) and Jason Crow (D-CO) and U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Alex Padilla (D-CA) are leading 70 lawmakers in demanding that the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) reimburse providers for work performed under their contract to furnish legal services to unaccompanied children. ORR has not issued reimbursements for services rendered since December 2025, despite Congress having appropriated funds for this purpose. The agency’s ongoing refusal to issue payments contravenes the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) requirements, appropriations directives, and the federal government’s contractual obligations.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Goldman (NY-10), Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28), and Rep. Jill Tokuda (HI-02), introduced the Harry Lew and Danny Chen Military Justice Reform Act, which would initiate the process of criminalizing military hazing in the Military Code of Justice. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) will be leading the Senate companion. The Act is named after Lance Corporal Harry Lew, Rep. Chu’s nephew, and Private Danny Chen, a Chinatown native, who both endured abuse from military superiors during their deployments to Afghanistan and died by suicide following their attacks. The bill would require the Joint Service Committee on Military Justice (JSC) to conduct an analysis and subsequent report to Congress on whether the Military Code of Justice should contain a standalone crime for hazing.
