Maddy summaryThis bill expands the tax deduction for qualified business income to include interest dividends from certain business development companies (BDCs), aligning them with the existing treatment for real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends. It specifically adds "qualified BDC interest dividends" to the list of eligible income under Section 199A of the tax code, allowing investors in qualifying BDCs to deduct 20% of these dividends. The change applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026, and directly affects investors in BDCs that meet specific criteria as regulated investment companies. This policy modifies tax eligibility without altering the deduction rate or creating new tax obligations.

Maddy summaryHR 609, the Assuring Medicare's Promise Act of 2025, directs revenue from the net investment income tax (currently applied to investment income) into the Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund. It expands the tax base to include certain business income for high-income individuals with modified adjusted gross income exceeding $400,000 ($500,000 for joint filers), with a phase-in to limit the tax increase. The bill ensures this tax revenue directly supports Medicare's hospital insurance program, applying to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025. The changes do not alter the tax rate but broaden the income types subject to the tax for high earners.

Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025 This bill expands Medicare coverage of chiropractic services to include all services provided by chiropractors, rather than only subluxation corrections through manual manipulation of the spine.

Maddy summaryHR 475 would impose U.S. sanctions on Russian individuals or entities that have endangered the safety or operational control of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant since Russia’s 2022 invasion. Key provisions include freezing assets of targeted persons and banning their entry into the U.S. via visa restrictions. The bill includes critical exceptions for humanitarian aid (food, medicine, medical supplies) and efforts to restore Ukrainian control of the plant. These sanctions aim to address nuclear safety risks highlighted by the IAEA, without affecting legitimate humanitarian operations.

Maddy summaryHR 429, the Rosie the Riveter Commemorative Coin Act, authorizes the U.S. Treasury to mint and sell three types of commemorative coins ($5 gold, $1 silver, and half-dollar) to honor women who worked on the U.S. home front during World War II. The coins will be sold at face value plus surcharges ($35 for gold, $10 for silver, $5 for half-dollar), with all surcharge revenue directed to the Rosie the Riveter Trust to support the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park and related educational programs. The coins must be issued between January 1, 2028, and December 31, 2028, in specified quantities (50,000 gold, 400,000 silver, 750,000 half-dollar), with all costs covered by the sales revenue to avoid net government expense.

Maddy summaryHR 415, the Stop Act, prohibits federal officeholders (like members of Congress) from directly asking individuals for campaign funds for federal elections or political committees. It specifically bans written or verbal solicitation of money for federal election activity, while allowing participation in fundraising events (like speaking or attending) as long as no direct solicitation occurs. The bill amends the Federal Election Campaign Act to clarify these rules, applying to all federal elected officials. The changes take effect for solicitations made after the bill's enactment date.

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses the House's support for Korean American Day, commemorating January 13, 1903 - the arrival of the first large wave of Korean immigrants to the U.S. It urges all Americans to observe the day to recognize Korean Americans' contributions to U.S. society, including their economic, cultural, and military service. The resolution honors the 122nd anniversary of this historical arrival, acknowledging the resilience of early Korean immigrants and their descendants. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or affect any specific group directly.

This resolution honors the life, achievements, legacy, and distinguished public service of former President Jimmy Carter. The resolution also (1) acknowledges President Carter's contributions to the state of Georgia, the United States, and the world; and (2) establishes his legacy as one of the great leaders and statesmen of the United States.

Maddy summaryHR 269, the Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg Congressional Gold Medal Act, authorizes a single gold medal to be awarded to Jens Stoltenberg in recognition of his service as NATO Secretary General from 2014 to 2024. The bill cites his leadership in expanding NATO membership, increasing defense spending by member nations (including 23 countries meeting the 2% target by 2024), strengthening partnerships with Indo-Pacific nations, and coordinating international support for Ukraine after Russia’s 2022 invasion. This commemorative act does not create new policy or affect any laws, as it solely provides a symbolic honor through a gold medal. The medal will be struck by the U.S. Mint, with bronze duplicates available for sale to cover costs.

Maddy summaryThis resolution symbolically recognizes Russian actions in Ukraine as genocide, based on documented atrocities including mass killings, attacks on civilians and infrastructure, deliberate deprivation of necessities, and forced transfers of Ukrainians. It directly affects Ukraine as the targeted group and calls on the U.S. government to support Ukraine with allies and back international tribunals. The resolution condemns Russia for these acts, urges U.S. action to prevent further genocide, and supports holding Russian leaders accountable. As a symbolic resolution (not a law), it has no legal force but expresses congressional stance. It aligns with the Genocide Convention's definition of genocide through specific evidence cited in the text.
