Federal officials could move more state lawsuits and criminal cases into federal court. Presidents and Vice Presidents would get extra protection from state cases tied to their official duties. Some cases could be dismissed unless very strong proof lets them continue.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Promptly Ending Political Prosecutions and Executive Retaliation Act of 2025 is a House bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 18.
Latest action on H.R. 1789: Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 18.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal officials who face state lawsuits or criminal charges tied to their official work. It also affects states, local prosecutors, and private people who want to bring or keep those cases in state court. Federal judges would take on more power to decide whether the case stays in federal court, whether immunity applies, and whether the case ends early.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could move power over some state cases from state courts to federal courts. It could protect federal officials from cases tied to their official work. It could also limit how much states and local communities can use their own courts against those officials. The real effect would depend on how often these cases arise and how federal judges read the new rules.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
