Maddy summaryHR 7221, the "Stopping Wall Street From Competing With Main Street Homebuyers Act," restricts large financial investment firms from purchasing single-family homes. It prohibits covered funds (defined as investment companies, REITs, or private funds with over $500 million in assets or significant home ownership) from buying new single-family homes 90 days after enactment. Existing holdings must be sold off over 10 years, requiring annual divestment of at least 10% of homes owned on the bill's effective date. This directly affects major investment firms that buy homes as investments, aiming to reduce their competition with individual homebuyers.

Maddy summaryHR 7156, the SCAM Act, would expand grounds for revoking U.S. citizenship (denaturalization) for naturalized citizens who commit specific offenses within 10 years of becoming citizens. It targets individuals convicted of defrauding federal, state, or local governments (e.g., $10,000+ in public benefit fraud), affiliating with foreign terrorist organizations, or committing aggravated felonies or espionage. If convicted in these categories, the government could automatically revoke citizenship retroactively (as if it never existed) based on evidence that the person lacked good moral character or loyalty to the U.S. at the time of naturalization. This bill directly affects naturalized citizens who commit these offenses within a decade of gaining citizenship, with revocation triggering immediate deportability.

Maddy summaryThis symbolic House resolution expresses U.S. congressional support for Iranian protesters demanding democracy and human rights. It condemns the Iranian regime's violent suppression of protests, including killings, mass arrests, and internet restrictions, while urging the regime to release political prisoners and restore communication access. The resolution reaffirms the Iranian people's right to self-determination through free elections and echoes a 2023 resolution (HCR 7) that similarly praised protesters. As a non-binding expression of support, it does not impose new policies or alter U.S. government actions.

Maddy summaryThis bill bans the pesticide diquat by requiring the EPA to cancel all its registrations, prohibit sales of existing stock, and revoke food residue allowances. It directly affects farmers who use diquat for crop management and food producers who must comply with new residue limits. Key mechanisms include the EPA permanently removing diquat from the market under existing federal law, with no future reregistration allowed. The bill implements these changes immediately upon enactment, targeting environmental and food safety concerns tied to diquat use.

Maddy summaryHR 5017, the Greyhound Protection Act of 2025, prohibits commercial greyhound racing, live lure training, open field coursing, and related betting across state lines. It bans activities like using live animals as bait, conducting interstate simulcast betting, and transporting greyhounds for racing purposes. The law amends the Animal Welfare Act to make these actions unlawful, with penalties including fines and up to 7 years in prison per violation. It applies to conduct occurring on or after October 1, 2027, and does not override existing state laws banning these activities. The bill directly affects greyhound racing industry participants and the animals involved in these practices.

Maddy summaryHRES 967 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's disapproval of European digital regulations like the EU's Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act. It claims these laws unfairly burden American speech, innovation, and tech companies (citing examples like Meta and Alphabet), while harming U.S. workers and consumers. The resolution calls on the Trump administration to use diplomatic and economic tools to protect U.S. free speech rights and prevent foreign laws from undermining First Amendment principles. It also urges the Department of Justice and FTC to reject European antitrust principles and avoid cooperating with foreign enforcement of such regulations. This resolution directly affects American tech companies and free expression interests by framing European policies as a threat to U.S. digital freedoms.

Maddy summaryHR 6854, the "No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act," would remove all federal public benefit eligibility for non-citizens under current law. It amends the 1996 welfare law by eliminating exceptions that previously allowed certain non-citizens (like "qualified aliens") to access benefits such as cash assistance and unemployment benefits. The bill repeals existing provisions that permitted limited eligibility and explicitly states non-citizens are ineligible for all federal public benefits. This change would directly affect non-citizens without specific immigration statuses, removing their access to programs like SNAP (food stamps) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) that were previously available under limited circumstances.

Maddy summaryHR 3492, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, makes it a federal crime to perform genital or bodily mutilation or chemical castration on minors under 18, except for specific medical reasons. The bill broadly defines prohibited procedures to include gender transition-related surgeries (like hysterectomies or mastectomies) and medical treatments such as puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones administered to minors. It criminalizes these acts when they occur across state lines, involve payments, or use interstate commerce, while explicitly banning religious tradition as a defense. Exceptions include medically necessary procedures for health emergencies, childbirth, or conditions certified by a physician.

Maddy summaryHR 498, the "Do No Harm in Medicaid Act," prohibits federal Medicaid funding for gender transition procedures for individuals under 18 years old. The bill amends the Social Security Act to define "specified gender transition procedures" broadly, including surgeries, hormone treatments, and certain medications, and bans federal Medicaid coverage for these services for minors. Exceptions are made only for medically necessary treatments related to precocious puberty, genetic disorders of sex development, or urgent medical conditions requiring bodily correction (like infections or injuries from prior procedures). This directly affects minors enrolled in Medicaid state plans, as states would no longer receive federal funds for these specific covered services.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires TRICARE to cover fertility-related care, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), for active-duty military members and their dependents starting October 2027. It mandates up to three IVF cycles per year with single embryo transfers by default (unless medically necessary), eliminates cost-sharing barriers after an infertility diagnosis, and prohibits coverage for genetic screening, cloning, or artificial wombs. The law defines "infertility" based on medical guidelines and specifies covered treatments like egg/sperm retrieval, embryo preservation, and fertility medications. It does not apply to former service members or their dependents.
