Maddy summaryHR 9314, the "No Federal Funding for Teacher’s Unions Act," prohibits federal funds from being provided to labor organizations whose members are education professionals, such as teachers in elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions. The bill directly affects teacher unions that receive federal funding, banning such support under the defined terms. Key provisions include a clear funding ban on these unions, with "education professionals" and "labor organizations" defined using existing laws from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the National Labor Relations Act. This policy change would prevent federal money from flowing to teacher unions for their operations or activities, without altering union membership rights or labor relations.

This joint resolution nullifies a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives rule published on April 26, 2022, concerning regulatory definitions and identification of firearms.

This joint resolution nullifies the interim final rule submitted by the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security and published on March 29, 2022, concerning procedures for the consideration of asylum claims and other related issues. (Among other changes, the interim final rule requires an asylum seeker subject to expedited removal to be screened by an asylum officer for a credible fear of persecution or torture, rather than a credible fear of persecution, reasonable possibility of persecution, or reasonable possibility of torture.)

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting (1) total outlays for a fiscal year from exceeding total receipts for that fiscal year, and (2) increases to the public debt limit. For emergency situations, Congress may authorize expenditures that violate these requirements for limited times if the expenditures are approved by a two-thirds vote of each chamber. Any debt incurred from these expenditures must be paid as soon as practicable. The amendment also prohibits legislation that increases revenue from becoming law unless it is approved by a roll call vote of two-thirds of each chamber. Finally, the amendment requires the President to submit a balanced budget to Congress annually.

This resolution declares that critical race theory is a form of Marxist ideology, is counter to the U.S. form of government, and poses a threat to the country, its citizens, and the free world.

Maddy summaryHRES 1214 is a non-binding congressional resolution condemning specific incidents of intimidation and vandalism targeting Supreme Court Justices and crisis pregnancy centers. It calls for the Department of Justice to enforce existing law (18 U.S.C. §1507) prohibiting protests near judges' homes and demands investigations into attacks linked to the group "Jane’s Revenge," which vandalized facilities with threatening messages like "If abortions aren’t safe, then you aren’t either." The resolution does not create new laws but formally expresses Congress’s stance against these acts. It directly addresses the actions taken against judicial officials and reproductive health centers, citing documented incidents from May-June 2022. The resolution is purely symbolic, with no legal effect beyond expressing congressional disapproval.

Maddy summaryHRES 1183 is a non-binding House resolution condemning domestic terrorist violence targeting religious organizations and pregnancy support groups. It specifically references multiple recent incidents of vandalism and arson against such facilities - including pregnancy centers and churches - occurring after the leak of a Supreme Court abortion decision. The resolution urges the Department of Justice, FBI, and National Security Council to investigate and prosecute these attacks and update domestic terrorism strategies to prevent future violence. As a symbolic measure, it does not create new laws but formally expresses the House’s stance against targeting these groups.

Maddy summaryThis resolution (HRES 1164) is a symbolic House vote condemning Senator Chuck Schumer for remarks made in March 2020 where he stated justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh "will pay the price" for Supreme Court decisions. It specifically cites his comments as potentially contributing to a violent threat against Justice Kavanaugh (by Nicholas Roske, arrested in June 2022). The resolution calls on Schumer to issue a formal apology to the justices and publicly condemn threats against federal officials. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change law or policy but reflects the House's disapproval of his rhetoric.

This resolution expresses that the House of Representatives rejects any proposal or legislation to financially compensate individuals crossing our borders illegally.

This resolution requests that the President provide to the House of Representatives documents concerning certain aspects of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations.
