Rep. Mary E. Miller

Maddy summaryThis resolution (HRES 807) proposes formally censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) based on claims of antisemitic statements, support for groups linked to terrorism, and leading a protest at the U.S. Capitol on October 18, 2023. It cites specific instances, including her 2019 Holocaust comments, retweeting a "From the river to the sea" slogan associated with Hamas, and October 2023 remarks calling for dismantling Israel's policies. The resolution does not create new law but seeks a symbolic House disciplinary action: a public reading of the censure and requiring Tlaib to appear in the House chamber. As a procedural resolution, it focuses on condemning the alleged conduct rather than enacting policy changes.

This resolution condemns Hamas' October 7, 2023, attacks against Israel and expresses sympathy and solidarity with the families of those held hostage or killed in those attacks.  The resolution also adjourns the House of Representatives in honor of those killed and unaccounted for.

Maddy summaryHRES 796 is a non-binding House resolution condemning foreign nationals in the U.S. who have endorsed or supported Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or other designated foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) responsible for the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel. It calls on the President to enforce existing immigration law (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(B)(i)(VII)) to revoke visas and initiate deportation for such individuals. The resolution affirms that terrorism by these groups cannot be equated with Israel’s self-defense actions and rejects all forms of anti-Semitism. It does not create new laws but urges enforcement of current visa restrictions for those endorsing FTOs. The resolution references the Oct. 7 attacks that killed 1,300 Israelis and 30 U.S. citizens, as cited in the resolution’s preamble.

Maddy summaryHRES 771 is a non-binding resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for Israel following Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack. It condemns Hamas' actions, affirms Israel's right to self-defense, and calls for the immediate release of hostages. The resolution also urges enforcement of existing laws restricting aid to terrorists and sanctions against Iran for supporting Hamas. It does not create new policies or allocate funds, as it is a symbolic statement of congressional support.

Maddy summaryHRES 769 is a non-binding House resolution expressing support for designating October 10, 2023, as "Real Women’s Day." It states opposition to biological men competing in women’s sports, citing concerns about biological differences affecting athletic competition, and opposes changes to Title IX that would allow such competition. The resolution references specific instances where biological men won women’s sports titles between 2003-2022 as justification. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new law or policy but formally expresses the House’s position on the issue.

Maddy summaryHRES 768 is a symbolic House Resolution expressing congressional support for Israel following Hamas' October 7, 2023 attacks. It condemns Hamas' actions, reaffirms Israel's right to self-defense, and calls for the immediate release of hostages. The resolution references the U.S. commitment to Israel's security through existing military aid programs, including the 2016 U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding, and emphasizes enforcement of laws like the Taylor Force Act to prevent U.S. aid from reaching terrorist groups. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new policy but serves as a statement of congressional support for Israel.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits U.S. federal funds from supporting any programs, projects, or activities in Palestinian-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria or Gaza. It requires the President, through the Secretary of State, to certify in writing to Congress that Hamas and Hezbollah have agreed to a permanent cessation of hostilities before such funding can resume. The legislation directly affects U.S. aid programs in these specific territories, halting all federal financial support until the certification is provided. The bill does not alter existing funding for other regions but ties aid to a specific security condition.

Maddy summaryHR 6040 prohibits federal funding for research on gender transition treatments for minors under 18, including studies on hormonal or surgical procedures. It specifically bans funds for research aiming to affirm a minor’s gender identity if it differs from their sex assigned at birth, defined as reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The bill directly affects researchers and institutions seeking federal grants for this type of study. It does not restrict medical care for minors but limits government support for related research. This is a funding restriction, not a ban on clinical practices.

Maddy summaryHR 5948 terminates the Office of Gun Violence Prevention within the Executive Office of the President upon enactment and prohibits the President from creating any similar successor office. The bill also bans the use of federal funds for salaries or expenses related to this office or any future equivalent. This legislation directly affects the federal executive branch by eliminating a specific office and restricting future funding for comparable initiatives.

Maddy summaryThis bill, HR 5920 (Student Loan Marriage Penalty Elimination Act of 2023), changes how married couples can deduct student loan interest on their federal taxes. It amends the tax code to allow each spouse to claim a separate $2,500 deduction limit for student loan interest, instead of a single combined limit for the couple. This directly affects married couples filing jointly who pay student loan interest and qualify for the deduction. The change applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, and ensures the deduction aligns with the tax treatment for individual filers.
