Rep. Brandon Gill

Maddy summaryThis resolution impeaches Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging he violated constitutional principles by blocking a 2024 executive order (EO 14169) that paused foreign aid funding. The resolution claims Judge Ali issued a restraining order requiring immediate fund disbursement without considering USAID's history of funding terrorism-linked activities, citing a 2021 GAO report and a 2024 incident involving al-Qaida-affiliated fighters. It asserts his actions disregarded presidential authority under Article II and compromised national interests. The resolution concludes he is unfit to serve as a federal judge due to "lacking intellectual honesty and basic integrity."

Maddy summaryThis bill amends federal law to require that individuals purchasing handguns from licensed dealers be at least 21 years old, removing previous exceptions that allowed sales to those under 21 for certain firearms. It directly affects anyone seeking to buy handguns from federally licensed gun sellers, raising the minimum age from 18 to 21 for these transactions. The bill also removes an existing age verification statement (requiring buyers to confirm they are 21 or older) for handgun purchases, aligning the requirement with the new age standard. Rifles and shotguns remain unaffected by this provision, as the amendment specifically targets handguns only. The bill's title referencing "voter" is unrelated to its actual provisions on firearm sales.

Maddy summaryThis bill protects firearm trace data maintained by the ATF's National Trace Center and related licensee information from public disclosure under FOIA. It directly affects licensed firearms dealers, state/local governments, and other entities that handle this data. Key provisions include adding a new FOIA exemption for this data, imposing fines of $10,000-$25,000 for unauthorized disclosures, and allowing licensed dealers to sue for triple damages or $25,000 per disclosure. The law also prevents sovereign immunity from blocking such lawsuits and specifies that fines apply per individual disclosure.

Maddy summaryHRES 166 is a non-binding House resolution expressing U.S. support for the Iranian people's desire for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear republic. It condemns the Iranian regime's terrorism, regional proxy wars, internal suppression of ethnic and religious minorities, and human rights abuses - including executions and repression of women-led protests. The resolution calls for holding the regime accountable through sanctions, supports the Ten-Point Plan for Iran’s democratic transition, and urges protection for Iranian political refugees in Albania. It does not create new laws but affirms U.S. policy alignment with Iranian protesters' demands.

Maddy summaryThis bill awards a Congressional Gold Medal to the 761st Tank Battalion (known as the "Black Panthers"), the first predominantly Black armored unit in World War II's European Theater. It recognizes their combat service from 1944-1946, including key roles in the Battle of the Bulge and breaking the Siegfried Line, despite facing racial prejudice during and after the war. The medal will be displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, with bronze duplicates available for sale to cover costs. The bill commemorates the battalion's 130,000 enemy casualties inflicted, 50% casualty rate, and their 1978 Presidential Unit Citation. It does not create new laws or affect current policies.

Maddy summaryThe Repeal CFPB Act would end the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by repealing the 2010 law that created it. It would restore all financial regulations that existed before the CFPB was established, reverting to the system in place prior to 2010. This change would directly affect how consumer financial products - like credit cards, mortgages, and loans - are regulated, shifting oversight back to pre-2010 rules.

Maddy summaryHR 1631, the Safe Access to Cash Act of 2025, amends federal robbery law to clarify that all network-connected ATMs and cash in transit (being loaded/unloaded) are considered under the care of banks, credit unions, or savings associations. This directly affects financial institutions by expanding their legal responsibility for ATM security, regardless of whether the ATM is on their premises or owned/operated by another entity. The bill defines "ATM" broadly to include any terminal used for withdrawals, deposits, or balance inquiries via a bank-issued card. Key provisions ensure these locations and cash are treated as part of the institution's protected property under robbery statutes. This creates a clear legal standard for holding financial institutions accountable for ATM security.

Maddy summaryHRES 145 is a resolution by the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach Judge Paul Adam Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York for high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution's Article I alleges Judge Engelmayer abused his judicial authority by improperly restricting President Trump and Secretary Bessent from accessing Treasury Department records containing personally identifiable and confidential financial data. This action, according to the resolution, violated his oath of impartiality and duty to the public. The resolution does not enact policy but initiates the impeachment process, which would require Senate trial for removal from office.

Maddy summaryHR 1502 authorizes the creation of a Congressional Gold Medal to honor the volunteers and communities (primarily from Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas) who supported the North Platte Canteen during World War II. The bill directs the Treasury Secretary to design and strike the medal, which will be presented to the individuals who contributed to the canteen’s operations and then permanently displayed at the Lincoln County Historical Museum in North Platte, Nebraska. It also permits the sale of bronze duplicates to cover production costs, with proceeds going to the U.S. Mint. This is a commemorative measure recognizing historical service, not a policy change affecting current laws or programs.

Maddy summaryHR 1462 removes tax credits for offshore wind facilities located in the inland navigable waters or coastal waters of the United States. Specifically, it disallows the investment tax credit (Section 48) and production tax credits (Sections 45 and 45Y) for such facilities placed in service after December 31, 2025. This policy change directly affects developers building wind projects in these specific waterways, as they will no longer qualify for federal tax incentives. The bill modifies existing tax code provisions without altering the broader eligibility for offshore wind projects in open ocean waters.
