Maddy summaryHR 4611 (EACH Act of 2025) requires all federally funded health programs - including Medicaid, Medicare, military health plans, and the Indian Health Service - to cover abortion services without restrictions, repealing the Hyde Amendment's long-standing ban on federal funding for most abortions. This directly affects millions of people enrolled in these programs, particularly low-income women, women of color (including 25% of Black women and 22% of Hispanic women on Medicaid), and young people. The bill mandates coverage in all federally administered health plans and prohibits state or private insurers from restricting abortion coverage in health insurance. It aims to eliminate current federal and state barriers that deny abortion access to people who rely on government health programs.

Maddy summaryHR 1404, the CHAMPVA Children’s Care Protection Act of 2025, expands healthcare eligibility under the CHAMPVA program for children of veterans. It increases the maximum age for children to receive medical benefits from 21 to 26 years old, regardless of marital status. This change directly affects dependent children of veterans who were previously eligible until age 21, extending coverage through their mid-twenties. The policy amendment applies to medical care provided on or after the bill’s enactment date.

Maddy summaryThis resolution recognizes 28 Illinois schools (and all schools nationwide selected for 2025) as National Blue Ribbon Schools before the program's discontinuation. It celebrates the program's 43-year history since 1982, which honored over 9,000 schools for academic excellence and closing achievement gaps. The measure formally honors these schools' achievements and the program's legacy, without proposing new policy changes.

Maddy summaryThe "Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act of 2025" proposes to significantly expand and strengthen U.S. sanctions against the Russian Federation and its supporters. The bill mandates blocking property and restricting visas for Russian government officials, state-owned financial institutions, and entities supporting Russia's defense industrial base or war efforts in Ukraine, including those involved in kidnapping Ukrainian children. Key provisions prohibit U.S

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Section 287(g) of immigration law to restrict immigration enforcement authority exclusively to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and DHS employees. It removes state and local law enforcement agencies' ability to verify immigration status, investigate, or arrest individuals for immigration violations under current 287(g) agreements. The change directly affects local police departments that previously participated in immigration enforcement through federal partnerships. The bill does not create new policies but alters existing authority to limit enforcement to federal officers only.

Maddy summaryHR 6840, the ARMENIA Security Partnership Act, requires the U.S. Secretary of Defense to annually certify whether Azerbaijan has met specific conditions related to Armenia, including withdrawing forces from Armenian territory, releasing prisoners, ending hostilities, and recognizing Armenian rights in Nagorno-Karabakh. If certification fails, the bill mandates an immediate review of U.S. security assistance to Armenia to assess gaps in Armenia’s defense capabilities and identify needed support. The review must evaluate historical U.S. security aid, threats to Armenia, and recommend steps to strengthen Armenia’s self-defense. It also blocks the use of a specific waiver (under the FREEDOM Support Act) that could bypass security aid restrictions if certification is not met. The bill directly affects U.S. security assistance decisions for Armenia based on Azerbaijan’s compliance with these conditions.

Maddy summaryThe Antisemitism Response and Prevention Act of 2025 aims to combat rising antisemitism through evidence-based policies rather than political weaponization. It requires universities to designate Title VI coordinators to handle civil rights complaints, establishes a National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism within the Department of Justice, and creates a Hate Crime Reporting Center at the FBI to improve data collection on hate crimes. The bill prohibits using antisemitism accusations to restrict diversity programs, political advocacy, or immigration policies, and ensures nonprofit security grants for Jewish community centers cannot be tied to unrelated political conditions. The legislation authorizes $280 million annually for the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights and $50 million for the Hate Crime Reporting Center from 2027-2032.

Aviation Funding Solvency Act This bill provides continuing appropriations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) if (1) an appropriations bill for the FAA has not been enacted before a fiscal year begins, or (2) a law making continuing appropriations for the FAA is not in effect. Specifically, the bill provides appropriations from the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund at the rate of operations that was provided for the prior fiscal year to continue programs, projects, and activities that were funded in the preceding fiscal year. The FAA may use the balance of the fund, minus $1 billion. If the FAA determines that the amounts from the fund are insufficient to continue all programs, projects, or activities, then the FAA must prioritize compensation payments for employees of the Air Traffic Organization (e.g., air traffic controllers). The bill provides the appropriations until the date on which either (1) specified appropriations legislation for the fiscal year becomes law, or (2) a bill making continuing appropriations becomes law. Finally, the bill permanently extends the FAA Non-premium War Risk Insurance Program. This program provides aviation insurance without a premium to eligible air carriers at the request of the Department of Defense or another federal agency, provided that the agency agrees to indemnify the FAA from all losses covered under the insurance. Eligible air carriers include those whose operations are under a federal contract and are necessary for national security or to carry out U.S. foreign policy.

Maddy summaryThis House resolution (HRES 952) expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for Gibraltar's right to determine its own political status as a British Overseas Territory through self-determination. It recognizes Gibraltar's democratic choices - where over 98% of voters chose to remain under British sovereignty in 1967 and 2002 - and highlights Gibraltar's historical role in U.S. military operations, including World War II and NATO missions. The resolution affirms that Gibraltarians' views must be central to any discussions about Gibraltar's future status, while acknowledging the territory's strategic importance to U.S. security interests in the Mediterranean. As a non-binding resolution, it does not alter U.S. policy but formally honors Gibraltar's contributions and right to self-determination under international law.
