Maddy summaryThe Saving FACE Act of 2026 amends federal criminal law to remove penalties for obstructing access to abortion services. It achieves this by changing the name of the relevant statute from "Freedom of Access to Clinics" to "Freedom of Access to Church" and removing the specific definition of abortion from the list of protected activities. Additionally, the bill updates the legal definition of abortion to exclude the intentional termination of a pregnancy, thereby narrowing the scope of the obstruction statute. These changes directly affect individuals who might otherwise face criminal charges for blocking entry to facilities providing abortion care.

Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the Ban Abortion by Mail Act, aims to restrict how abortion medications like mifepristone are prescribed by requiring an in-person visit between the patient and the doctor. It directly affects health care providers who are currently certified by the FDA to dispense these drugs, threatening their certification status if they prescribe them without a physical examination or to patients living in states where the provider lacks a medical license. The legislation mandates that the FDA report annually to Congress on any providers who lose this certification due to violations or unsafe prescribing practices. By enforcing these specific conditions, the bill seeks to ensure that all prescriptions for abortion drugs are administered under strict supervision and within the legal boundaries of the patient's state.

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses the House's sense that parents need clear and accurate information about video content to make informed decisions for their children. It calls on the Federal Communications Commission to modernize the existing ratings system to cover all video platforms, including streaming services, and to ensure content descriptions are neutral and specific. The bill also urges the creation of an oversight body that includes parents and child advocates alongside industry representatives to increase transparency in how ratings are assigned. Ultimately, it seeks to improve parental guidance tools and public awareness without mandating specific changes to current laws.

Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act This bill repeals the Corporate Transparency Act. The act requires existing companies and newly created companies to report beneficial ownership information to the Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for purposes of addressing the financing of terrorism and money laundering.

Maddy summaryHR 2675, the Protecting Our Courts from Foreign Manipulation Act of 2025, requires parties and their lawyers in federal civil cases to disclose any foreign funding tied to case outcomes. It mandates written disclosure of foreign funders' identities (including country of origin) and certification about funding sources, while banning foreign states or sovereign wealth funds from funding litigation. The law also requires annual reports to Congress detailing foreign-funded cases, including amounts and jurisdictions. This directly affects parties using foreign-funded litigation, courts handling such cases, and foreign entities seeking to influence U.S. courts through financial support.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Stopping Harmful and Outrageous Torts Act, expands legal protections for firearm manufacturers and sellers by strengthening their immunity from civil lawsuits. It requires courts to immediately dismiss any pending cases against these companies that are based on the criminal or unlawful misuse of a gun by a third party, while also clarifying that sellers are not liable for negligence in entrusting products to others. The legislation further restricts who can file such suits by prohibiting foreign governments from bringing these claims and adding a specific exception for victims under the age of 17, though it maintains immunity for cases involving design or manufacturing defects. Additionally, the bill allows companies to move these cases to federal court and grants them the right to appeal dismissal orders immediately, along with the ability to recover legal fees if they win. Finally, it preempts state and local laws that attempt to impose liability on these entities for the same types of misuse-related harms.

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for the Department of State to prevent members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from infiltrating the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It also urges the State Department to limit the delegation's time in the United States to only what is necessary for playing scheduled matches. As a non-binding measure of congressional sentiment, the bill does not create new laws or enforceable rules but instead signals official backing for existing security protocols. The text frames these actions as necessary national security steps given the IRGC's designation as a foreign terrorist organization and its history of using sports events for intelligence gathering.

Maddy summaryThis resolution introduces articles of impeachment against U.S. District Court Judge Eleanor Louise Ross, targeting her for three specific allegations of misconduct. The first article charges her with engaging in an undisclosed extramarital affair with a law enforcement officer while on the job, which created a conflict of interest and violated judicial conduct codes. The second article accuses her of attending a partisan political event sponsored by a district attorney's campaign and admitting to drinking alcohol before presiding over a criminal case. The third article alleges that she knowingly made false statements to federal judges during an investigation into her behavior, thereby obstructing an official proceeding and violating federal law.

Maddy summaryThis resolution proposes to officially designate June as "Family Month" to highlight the importance of the traditional nuclear family. It also calls for the House of Representatives to stop recognizing Pride Month, which it argues has replaced the celebration of family values. The bill is sponsored by a group of representatives who believe that strengthening traditional marriage is essential for societal stability and population growth.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Preventing International Surrogacy Exploitation Act, aims to stop foreign nationals from using U.S. surrogate mothers for commercial surrogacy arrangements. It would make any surrogacy contract void and unenforceable if the intended parents are foreign citizens or permanent residents, with a specific exception for married couples where at least one partner is a U.S. citizen or resident. Additionally, the law prohibits surrogacy brokers from facilitating these agreements and imposes criminal penalties, including fines and up to 10 years in prison, for those who knowingly or recklessly assist in such contracts. Children born through these invalid agreements would have their custody determined by the state where the surrogate lives, focusing on the child's best interests rather than the contract. Finally, the bill prevents foreign parents from using their U.S.-born children to gain immigration benefits or rights under U.S. immigration laws.
