Maddy summaryHRES 166 is a non-binding House resolution expressing U.S. support for the Iranian people's desire for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear republic. It condemns the Iranian regime's terrorism, regional proxy wars, internal suppression of ethnic and religious minorities, and human rights abuses - including executions and repression of women-led protests. The resolution calls for holding the regime accountable through sanctions, supports the Ten-Point Plan for Iran’s democratic transition, and urges protection for Iranian political refugees in Albania. It does not create new laws but affirms U.S. policy alignment with Iranian protesters' demands.

Maddy summaryThis bill awards a Congressional Gold Medal to the 761st Tank Battalion (known as the "Black Panthers"), the first predominantly Black armored unit in World War II's European Theater. It recognizes their combat service from 1944-1946, including key roles in the Battle of the Bulge and breaking the Siegfried Line, despite facing racial prejudice during and after the war. The medal will be displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, with bronze duplicates available for sale to cover costs. The bill commemorates the battalion's 130,000 enemy casualties inflicted, 50% casualty rate, and their 1978 Presidential Unit Citation. It does not create new laws or affect current policies.

Maddy summaryThe Repeal CFPB Act would end the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by repealing the 2010 law that created it. It would restore all financial regulations that existed before the CFPB was established, reverting to the system in place prior to 2010. This change would directly affect how consumer financial products - like credit cards, mortgages, and loans - are regulated, shifting oversight back to pre-2010 rules.

Maddy summaryHR 1631, the Safe Access to Cash Act of 2025, amends federal robbery law to clarify that all network-connected ATMs and cash in transit (being loaded/unloaded) are considered under the care of banks, credit unions, or savings associations. This directly affects financial institutions by expanding their legal responsibility for ATM security, regardless of whether the ATM is on their premises or owned/operated by another entity. The bill defines "ATM" broadly to include any terminal used for withdrawals, deposits, or balance inquiries via a bank-issued card. Key provisions ensure these locations and cash are treated as part of the institution's protected property under robbery statutes. This creates a clear legal standard for holding financial institutions accountable for ATM security.

Maddy summaryHRES 145 is a resolution by the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach Judge Paul Adam Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York for high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution's Article I alleges Judge Engelmayer abused his judicial authority by improperly restricting President Trump and Secretary Bessent from accessing Treasury Department records containing personally identifiable and confidential financial data. This action, according to the resolution, violated his oath of impartiality and duty to the public. The resolution does not enact policy but initiates the impeachment process, which would require Senate trial for removal from office.

Maddy summaryHR 1502 authorizes the creation of a Congressional Gold Medal to honor the volunteers and communities (primarily from Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas) who supported the North Platte Canteen during World War II. The bill directs the Treasury Secretary to design and strike the medal, which will be presented to the individuals who contributed to the canteen’s operations and then permanently displayed at the Lincoln County Historical Museum in North Platte, Nebraska. It also permits the sale of bronze duplicates to cover production costs, with proceeds going to the U.S. Mint. This is a commemorative measure recognizing historical service, not a policy change affecting current laws or programs.

Maddy summaryHR 1462 removes tax credits for offshore wind facilities located in the inland navigable waters or coastal waters of the United States. Specifically, it disallows the investment tax credit (Section 48) and production tax credits (Sections 45 and 45Y) for such facilities placed in service after December 31, 2025. This policy change directly affects developers building wind projects in these specific waterways, as they will no longer qualify for federal tax incentives. The bill modifies existing tax code provisions without altering the broader eligibility for offshore wind projects in open ocean waters.

Maddy summaryHR 1485, the Alien Removal Not Resort Stays Act, terminates all federal funding for FEMA's Shelter and Services Program starting upon its enactment. It redirects all unobligated funds previously allocated to this program into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for enforcement, detention, and removal operations. The bill directly affects FEMA's disaster shelter program and shifts its budget authority to immigration enforcement activities. This represents a concrete policy change in federal funding priorities, moving resources from disaster relief to immigration enforcement.

Maddy summaryHR 1381, the "COVID-19 Vaccination Non-Discrimination Act," blocks federal funding to healthcare facilities that refuse treatment based solely on a patient's COVID-19 vaccination status. It directly affects hospitals, clinics, and other providers receiving federal funds under Medicare (Title XVIII), Medicaid (Title XIX), or CHIP (Title XXI) programs. The key provision withholds all federal funds - such as those for hospital payments or Medicaid services - from any facility that denies care due to vaccination status. This policy change ensures that access to care cannot be restricted based on vaccination, applying specifically to federally funded healthcare settings. The bill does not alter vaccination requirements but prevents discrimination in treatment access for patients.

Maddy summaryHR 1301, the Death Tax Repeal Act, would eliminate the federal estate tax and generation-skipping transfer tax for estates of individuals dying on or after its enactment date. It directly affects individuals inheriting significant assets, as it removes taxes on estates exceeding $10 million (adjusted for inflation) and repeals taxes on large transfers between generations. The bill modifies the gift tax by establishing a $10 million lifetime exemption with annual inflation adjustments, replacing previous tax brackets. It applies to estates, gifts, and transfers occurring on or after the bill's effective date.
