Stop Wall Street Landlords Act of 2022 This bill denies certain tax and other benefits to large investors whose assets exceed $100 million in a taxable year for investment in single-family housing (i.e., real property including at least one dwelling unit and not more than four units). It denies such investors a tax deduction for interest paid on a single-family home mortgage, for insuring such homes, and for the depreciation of such homes. The bill imposes an excise tax on the sale or transfer of a single-family home by a large investor equal to the price of such home. It allows a tax credit for home sellers equal to the lesser of either the excess of reasonable development costs paid over the sale price, or 35% of the lesser of eligible development costs paid by the taxpayer, or 80% of the national median sale price for homes. The bill prohibits large investors from obtaining certain federal mortgage assistance.

Maddy summaryHRES 1430 is a symbolic House resolution recognizing the 1971 atrocities against ethnic Bengalis and Hindus in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) as genocide under the UN definition. It directly affects the historical memory of victims and Bangladeshis by formally condemning the Pakistani military’s actions - including massacres, mass rape, and forced displacement - which killed an estimated 3 million people. The resolution calls on the U.S. President to acknowledge these events as genocide and urges Pakistan to formally apologize and prosecute perpetrators, while reaffirming U.S. support for democratic values in the region. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but aims to document historical accountability.
