Maddy summaryThe TAKE IT DOWN Act makes it a crime to intentionally share intimate images or digital forgeries of people without their consent, with penalties of up to 2 years in prison for adults and 3 years for minors. It requires major online platforms to establish a 48-hour process for victims to request removal of such content, with platforms protected from liability when acting in good faith. The bill defines "digital forgery" as AI-generated content that appears authentic and applies to websites and apps primarily hosting user-generated content, excluding email services and broadband providers. The Federal Trade Commission will enforce these notice and takedown requirements. This legislation directly affects victims of nonconsensual intimate content, the platforms hosting such material, and individuals who distribute it.

Maddy summaryHR 2841, the "Putting Trust in Transparency Act," requires nonprofits receiving any federal funding to publicly disclose unredacted donor information (including name, zip code, and contribution amount) within 60 days of filing their annual IRS Form 990. This applies specifically to tax-exempt organizations that receive federal funds, making their major donors' details accessible to the public. Nonprofits failing to file the required Schedule B of Form 990 face automatic revocation of their tax-exempt status after a 60-day grace period. The bill aims to increase transparency around how federal funds are leveraged by nonprofits, requiring disclosure that was previously restricted under IRS rules. It amends tax code provisions to enforce this disclosure and maintain public access to donor information.

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or the SAVE Act This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill specifies what documents are considered acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship, such as identification that complies with the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates U.S. citizenship. Further, the bill (1) prohibits states from registering an individual to vote in a federal election unless, at the time the individual applies to register to vote, the individual provides documentary proof of U.S. citizenship; and (2) requires states to establish an alternative process under which an applicant may submit other evidence to demonstrate U.S. citizenship. Each state must take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include establishing a program to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens using information supplied by certain sources. Additionally, states must remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters. The bill allows for a private right of action against an election official who registers an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill establishes criminal penalties for certain offenses, including registering an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.

Maddy summaryHR 2806 prohibits the Secretary of Energy from selling petroleum products from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to entities under Chinese Communist Party control or if the products could be exported to China. It directly affects U.S. energy sales to Chinese-linked companies and the Department of Energy’s management of the reserve. Key provisions require the Secretary to block such sales and mandate that any sale not result in exports to China. This policy change restricts access to U.S. strategic oil reserves for China-related entities.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) to improve payment structures for participating farmers. It allows landowners to choose how annual payments are allocated across their contract term and creates special rules for agreements involving water rights retirement (paying irrigated rates) or dryland farming (paying the difference between irrigated and dryland rates). Existing agreements using these practices will receive retroactive payment adjustments if they were previously paid at lower rates. The changes directly affect farmers enrolled in CREP who retire water rights or use dryland agricultural methods on their land.

Nuclear Family Priority Act This bill imposes limits on various types of family-sponsored immigration visas. The non-U.S. national ( alien  under federal law) parents of U.S. citizens shall not qualify for visas for immediate relatives, which are not subject to any direct numerical limits. Currently, the spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of citizens are considered immediate relatives. The bill also creates a nonimmigrant visa for such parents of citizens. Such non-U.S. nationals shall not be eligible for employment or any public benefits. The bill also reduces the baseline annual cap for family-sponsored visas from 480,000 to 88,000, and revises the methods for calculating the cap. Currently, the 480,000 cap may be adjusted depending on various factors but shall not be less than 226,000. The bill eliminates preference allocations (visa categories subject to various annual caps) for various family-sponsored visas, including those for the siblings and married children of citizens. The bill provides for a preference allocation for the unmarried children under 21 and spouses of permanent residents, subject to the 88,000 annual cap.

Maddy summaryHRES 295 is a resolution expressing congressional support for the President's use of the Alien Enemies Act to remove members of Tren de Aragua (designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization) from the United States. It references the deportation of noncitizens to El Salvador under a prior agreement and affirms the President's authority to detain or deport foreign terrorists. The resolution does not create new laws but endorses specific security actions taken under existing legal authority. It directly relates to the removal of Tren de Aragua members and their transfer to El Salvador's detention facility.

Maddy summaryHR 2124 (LAND Act) restricts foreign purchases of U.S. agricultural land by requiring foreign buyers to follow the same rules as U.S. citizens would face in their home country, plus applicable state laws. It defines "home country" based on citizenship (using the most restrictive foreign law for dual nationals or companies) and mandates sellers to report sales to the USDA, which then notifies relevant lawmakers. A new U.S. Land Protection Task Force (including USDA, Justice, and State departments) will monitor compliance, track land sales data, and report to Congress every six months. The bill directly affects foreign individuals, companies, and governments purchasing agricultural land, with no changes to existing U.S. citizen purchasing rules.

Maddy summaryHRES 285 is a symbolic House resolution condemning multiple recent attacks on Tesla vehicles and facilities across the U.S. It specifically references at least 80 incidents of vandalism or arson involving Tesla cars and 10+ attacks on dealerships or charging stations in 9 states between February and March 2025, including Molotov cocktails, gunfire, and hate speech. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally expresses the House’s condemnation of these acts as domestic terrorism. It directly addresses the targeted destruction of Tesla property but has no legal effect on preventing future incidents or altering Tesla’s operations.

Maddy summaryThe SHORT Act (HR 2395) redefines federal firearm definitions to exclude antique and collector firearms from being classified as firearms, and removes distinctions between short-barreled rifles and shotguns in federal regulations. It prevents state laws from imposing taxes or registration requirements on short-barreled rifles and shotguns, requiring state rules to align with federal compliance instead. The bill also mandates the federal government to destroy specific records related to these firearms within one year of enactment.
