Maddy summaryThis House resolution designates September 17, 2026, as National Teach Ag Day to highlight the contributions of agricultural educators and the National FFA Organization. It formally recognizes the role these groups play in preparing students for leadership and career success in the agriculture sector. The bill also acknowledges the work of over 11,000 educators across the United States and its territories who teach about food and natural resources.

Maddy summaryThe Empowering Moms Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to update the government website moms.gov within one year to serve as a centralized directory for resources aimed at pregnant, postpartum, and parenting women. The bill authorizes grants for states to help aggregate local resources, which users can filter by ZIP code and distance, while also allowing the federal government to contact users via phone or email if they consent to follow-up outreach. A key provision excludes organizations that provide abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening conditions, from being listed on the website or receiving state grants. The act mandates that the website be accessible in multiple languages and requires the Secretary to submit a report to Congress within 180 days detailing user traffic, feedback, and resource gaps.

Maddy summaryHR 6152, the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act, establishes an interagency task force to address foreign robocalls entering the United States. The task force, composed of the FCC, FTC, DOJ, and private sector representatives, will study the origins, impacts, and potential solutions to foreign robocalls and must submit a report to Congress within 360 days. The bill also modifies existing law to require FCC notices about robocall mitigation every three years instead of annually, and introduces a bond requirement for providers using the Robocall Mitigation Database. This legislation affects telecommunications providers, federal agencies, and all U.S. telephone users who receive unwanted calls. The bill aims to improve coordination between U.S. agencies and foreign countries in combating illegal robocalls through concrete policy changes.

Maddy summaryThe Apples to Apples Comparison Act of 2025 requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to publish detailed Medicare spending data starting in 2025. It mandates that CMS release machine-readable, county- and Metropolitan Statistical Area-level expenditure information for over 30 distinct beneficiary categories (e.g., Part A-only enrollees, Medicare Advantage members, and those with supplemental coverage) on its public website. The law also requires the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) to analyze Medicare Advantage vs. traditional Medicare spending patterns beginning in 2026, with public methodology and data transparency. Additionally, the Medicare Trustees must include disaggregated expenditure data in their annual reports starting in 2026. This bill directly affects how CMS and federal agencies collect and share Medicare spending data, not beneficiaries' coverage or costs.

Maddy summaryThe Priority for Pediatric Cures Act permanently extends the authority to award priority review vouchers for drugs and biologics that treat rare pediatric diseases. By amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the bill removes a specific expiration provision that would otherwise limit this incentive program. This change ensures that pharmaceutical companies can continue to receive expedited FDA review in exchange for developing treatments for children with rare conditions.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates a 34-mile segment of the Myakka River in Sarasota County, Florida, as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. It classifies specific river segments as "wild" (11.2 miles), "scenic" (multiple segments totaling 22.9 miles), or "recreational" (1.5 miles), based on their natural character. The bill establishes cooperative management through the existing Myakka River Management Coordinating Council and prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from administering the river as a National Park System unit or using land condemnation. It requires the Secretary to work with Florida and local entities to implement a management plan already developed under state law, without altering current land ownership or management authority.

Maddy summaryThe Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act to explicitly include social media influencers in its regulatory scope. The bill defines a social media influencer as any individual who maintains a monetized account on a social media platform, using an existing definition from the Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022. By making this addition, the legislation requires these specific digital content creators to comply with the same registration and disclosure obligations currently applied to other foreign agents.

Maddy summaryHR 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, restricts Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing certain investments like stocks in publicly traded companies. It requires 7-14 days' advance public notice before selling any such investment, including the sale date, description, and number of shares. Exceptions apply for work-related transactions (e.g., employer compensation) and reinvesting dividends. Violations trigger a fee of $2,000 or 10% of the investment’s value (whichever is greater), plus any net gain, paid from personal funds - not congressional allowances or campaign donations. The bill aims to prevent conflicts of interest by increasing transparency around congressional financial dealings.
