Rep. Cory Mills

This bill suspends the federal debt limit through June 12, 2023, and requires the debt limit to be increased to accommodate certain obligations issued during the suspension period. The adjustments to the debt limit for obligations issued during the suspension period are limited to obligations necessary to fund a commitment incurred by the federal government that required payment before June 11, 2023. The bill also prohibits the Department of the Treasury from issuing obligations during the suspension period for the purpose of increasing the cash balance above normal operating balances in anticipation of the expiration of the suspension period.

This resolution impeaches President Biden for high crimes and misdemeanors for allowing aliens to enter the United States in violation of the immigration laws and for related offenses.

Maddy summaryThis resolution, introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, proposes impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland based on allegations of politicizing the justice system. It claims Garland failed to impartially enforce laws, targeted parents and religious groups, and pursued politically motivated prosecutions (like against former President Trump) while ignoring alleged misconduct by the Biden administration. As a procedural resolution, it has been referred to the Judiciary Committee but has not advanced to a vote or Senate trial. It does not enact any policy changes - it is solely a formal accusation seeking removal from office.

Maddy summaryHRES 411 is a resolution introduced by House members to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, alleging he failed to secure U.S. borders and enforce immigration laws. It claims he violated the Secure Fence Act of 2006 and the Immigration and Nationality Act by not maintaining border control (citing statistics like 6 million border encounters during his tenure), ending border wall construction, and implementing policies like "catch and release" that allegedly facilitated illegal crossings and drug trafficking. The resolution specifically cites failures related to fentanyl seizures (over 14,000 pounds in 2023) and border security protocols. This is a formal House accusation seeking Senate trial, not a law or policy change.

Maddy summaryThis resolution (HRES 405) is a symbolic House action seeking to impeach Matthew M. Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It claims he failed to prosecute 67% of arrests in 2022 (doubling the prior decade's rate), allowed violent crime to rise 23% overall (with homicides up 30%), and prioritized prosecuting political protesters over serious crimes. The resolution asserts these actions "endangered the justice system" and violated his constitutional oath, though it is not a binding legal proceeding. As a procedural resolution, it does not change law or policy and reflects a partisan political statement, not a legislative bill with concrete policy changes.

Maddy summaryHRES 406 is a resolution introduced by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on May 16, 2023, seeking to impeach FBI Director Christopher Wray. It alleges Wray "facilitated the development of a Federal police force" to target individuals opposing the Biden administration, citing specific FBI actions like the August 2022 raid on Donald Trump’s home and claims of surveillance targeting pro-life advocates and Catholic groups. The resolution frames these as violations of Wray’s constitutional oath, arguing he has undermined democratic principles by enabling political persecution. As a procedural resolution (not a law), it does not change policy but formally accuses Wray of misconduct for potential Senate trial. The resolution remains pending before the House Judiciary Committee.

Maddy summaryThe Housing PLUS Act of 2023 modifies federal homeless assistance funding under the McKinney-Vento Act to ensure grantees providing supportive services (like job training or addiction treatment) or requiring conditions for housing (such as sobriety) cannot be restricted from receiving funds. It mandates that at least 30% of Continuum of Care funds each year must support entities offering these wraparound services. The bill directly affects homeless assistance grantees, project sponsors, and faith-based organizations receiving federal housing funds. It also requires the Secretary to report annually to Congress confirming compliance with these funding rules.

Maddy summaryHRES 363 is a resolution expressing support for recognizing National Police Week, an annual observance established by law to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. The resolution acknowledges 556 officers killed in the line of duty during 2022 and calls for ensuring law enforcement officers have necessary equipment, training, and resources to protect both themselves and the public. It encourages the American public to observe National Police Week by honoring law enforcement personnel and recognizing their essential mission in serving communities across the United States. This resolution does not create new law but formally expresses congressional support for an existing observance.

Maddy summaryThe FEND Off Fentanyl Act (HR 3333) establishes new sanctions targeting foreign persons and transnational criminal organizations involved in fentanyl trafficking, specifically naming Mexican cartels like the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel. It authorizes the President to block transactions with individuals facilitating fentanyl trafficking and requires annual reports to Congress on enforcement actions. The bill also designates fentanyl-related transactions as a primary money laundering concern for financial institutions and extends the statute of limitations for sanctions violations to eight years. These measures aim to disrupt fentanyl trafficking networks by targeting both the drug flow and the financial mechanisms supporting them.

Maddy summaryHR 3328 (Protecting Children From Experimentation Act of 2023) prohibits healthcare professionals from performing or referring for gender transition procedures on minors under 18. The bill defines "gender transition procedures" to include puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries (like genital or non-genital procedures) aimed at altering physical characteristics to match a gender different from a minor’s biological sex. It excludes care for minors with medically verified disorders of sex development or conditions requiring urgent medical treatment. Violations could result in fines, up to 5 years in prison, or both for providers, while minors receiving such care cannot be prosecuted.
