Maddy summaryThis bill renames a U.S. Postal Service facility at 2200 South Salina Street in Syracuse, New York, as the "Wallie Howard Jr. Post Office Building." All official references in federal laws, documents, or records to this specific location will now use the new name. The bill has no policy impact beyond this administrative designation.

Maddy summaryThe PROTECT Act prevents federal buildings, lands, or assets from being named, renamed, or designated after Donald J. Trump. It also bars the use of federal funds for any such naming or redesignation. Additionally, the law requires that any federal property currently named after Trump be reverted to its original legal name upon the bill's enactment.

Maddy summaryThe Civics Learning Act of 2026 amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to expand federal funding and support for civics education in K-12 schools. The bill directs the Department of Education to distribute $70 million in grants to schools, with at least 60 percent reserved for elementary and middle schools and a preference for programs that include hands-on civic engagement, constitutional history, and civil rights education. It also requires grant recipients to submit annual reports detailing how they meet civics education goals and ensures geographic diversity in funding distribution across urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Maddy summaryThis bill strengthens consumer protections and corporate accountability in bankruptcy proceedings by making it easier for courts to dismiss or convert Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases filed in bad faith. It requires courts to dismiss cases that are objectively futile or filed in subjective bad faith, such as when debtors manufacture legal venues, seek tactical advantages, delay creditors, or cap liability to multiple creditors. The legislation also limits automatic stays that protect debtors from lawsuits, particularly in cases involving mass torts or claims affecting at least 100 individuals, and clarifies rules around setoffs and creditor recognition. These changes directly affect corporate debtors, creditors, and bankruptcy courts by tightening restrictions on abusive bankruptcy filings while preserving protections for final judgments entered before the law takes effect.

Maddy summaryThe Momnibus Act is a comprehensive legislative bill designed to improve maternal health outcomes across the United States by addressing social determinants of health, expanding access to care, and reducing disparities among pregnant and postpartum individuals. The bill establishes a federal task force to coordinate efforts between agencies and stakeholders to eliminate preventable maternal mortality and severe morbidity, while providing sustained funding to community-based organizations to address nonclinical factors like housing, nutrition, and transportation. Key provisions include extending WIC eligibility to 24 months postpartum, creating grants to grow and diversify the perinatal workforce, implementing respectful maternity care training for all healthcare employees, and establishing compliance programs to track and address bias in maternity care settings. The legislation also includes specific measures for incarcerated mothers, veterans, and vulnerable populations affected by climate change, alongside funding for maternal mental health services and technology-enabled care models to expand access in underserved areas.

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that former President Donald Trump, his Special Envoy Steven Witkoff, and all federal officials must comply with the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause. It specifically calls for them to immediately turn over to the Department of the Treasury any payments received from the United Arab Emirates or other foreign states. Furthermore, the resolution urges them to divest from all business interests linked to foreign governments, including those tied to United Arab Emirates officials.

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses the House of Representatives' opinion that the Department of Justice and other federal agencies should not administratively settle legal claims for money filed against the United States by a sitting President, specifically referencing President Donald Trump. The House believes that such settlements would violate the Domestic Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which prevents a President from receiving payments from the government beyond their official salary. Therefore, the resolution advises the Department of Justice to refuse any administrative settlement of these claims, while clarifying that a President can still pursue lawsuits in independent courts. This position directly affects how the Department of Justice would handle such claims from a President.

Maddy summaryThe Transit Workforce Development Act expands how federal grants for buses and bus facilities can be used for workforce training. It increases the portion of these grants that transit agencies can dedicate to workforce development from 5% to 10% of the allocated funds. Additionally, the bill broadens the types of training eligible for these funds, allowing them to cover all buses, related equipment, and facility construction,

Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution (HCONRES 40) directs the President to remove U.S. military forces from hostilities with Iran, as required by the War Powers Resolution. It applies directly to U.S. Armed Forces deployed in conflict with Iran, except for forces needed to defend the U.S. or allies from imminent attack. The bill mandates removal unless the President complies with War Powers Resolution reporting requirements for self-defense actions, without needing new congressional authorization. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new law but compels executive action under existing legal framework.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a 17-member Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of the Office. This commission, composed primarily of medical professionals and former high-ranking executive officials, would be activated by a concurrent resolution of Congress. Its duty would be to conduct a medical examination of the President to determine if they are mentally or physically unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office due to conditions such as illness, disability, or substance use. Following the examination, the commission would report its findings and a declaration on the President's capacity to Congress and the Vice President, with any refusal by the President to undergo examination taken into consideration.
