Maddy summaryThis bill creates a legal exemption from antitrust laws for companies and organizations that share information or coordinate actions to protect against security risks posed by artificial intelligence. Specifically, it allows these entities to exchange data or agree to temporarily delay the release or deployment of AI systems if they believe such steps are necessary to prevent threats like weaponization, attacks on critical infrastructure, or unauthorized access. To qualify for this protection, the organizations must act in good faith, use the shared information solely for security purposes, and submit a written notice to the Department of Justice before implementing any coordinated delays. The law also ensures that details submitted to the government remain confidential and allows the Attorney General to seek court orders against companies that fail to prove their actions were legitimate security measures.

Maddy summaryThe Citizenship Act of 2026 redefines the term "invader" to include individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States or those seeking entry specifically for the purpose of giving birth. Under this legislation, children born in the U.S. to these designated invaders would not be entitled to birthright citizenship if their mothers were not lawfully admitted or if the parents do not meet specific residency requirements. The bill also explicitly excludes children born through commercial surrogacy contracts involving nationals of certain countries from acquiring citizenship. Additionally, the act declares that courts cannot review the President's or Congress's determination that an invasion is occurring.
Maddy summaryThe Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Act of 2026 authorizes the organization Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. to build a commemorative monument on federal land in Washington, D.C., honoring the original Tuskegee Airmen who served in World War II. This legislation allows the group to accept private donations and cover all costs for the project without using federal funds, while requiring any leftover money to be deposited into specific government accounts. The bill also mandates that the memorial be constructed in compliance with existing federal standards for commemorative works.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a temporary funding mechanism for the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund by requiring the Treasury Department to loan $3 billion annually to the fund for fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029. The borrowed money must be distributed immediately to victims as part of the annual payment and cannot be saved for future use. Interest on these loans will be set by the Treasury based on market rates and will be repaid only from future fines and penalties collected from state sponsors of terrorism after the fund ends. The authority to make these loans expires on September 30, 2029, and the funds are treated as direct spending rather than new appropriations.
Maddy summaryThe SAFE CATTLE Act requires the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior to coordinate federal efforts to prevent, monitor, and eradicate New World screwworm - a pest that attacks livestock and wildlife - across federal lands managed by agencies like the National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service. It mandates joint surveillance protocols, outbreak response plans with state officials, and science-based strategies to protect livestock industries and food supply chains. The bill also requires annual reports to Congress detailing interagency progress, outbreak responses, and recommendations for improving pest control until screwworm is contained south of Panama. This legislation directly affects federal land managers, livestock producers, and the broader agricultural economy by establishing a formal federal framework for addressing this specific animal health threat.
Maddy summaryThe Federal Lands Lawful Carry Act modifies federal law to allow individuals who are legally permitted to carry firearms under state laws to do so on specific federal lands open to the public. This change directly affects visitors to areas managed by agencies such as the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Forest System. Under the new provisions, carrying a firearm in these exempted areas is considered having a lawful purpose if the individual follows applicable state regulations and is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a weapon. The bill does not authorize carrying firearms in areas where state laws forbid it or in locations that remain closed to visitors.

Maddy summaryHR 7651, the Chloe Cole Act of 2026, prohibits healthcare providers from performing certain medical interventions on minors under 18 aimed at altering physical development to align with gender identity. These "covered interventions" include puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and specific surgeries, but exclude medically necessary care for conditions like disorders of sexual development or traumatic injuries. The bill creates a federal civil lawsuit right for affected minors or their parents against providers who perform such interventions, allowing claims for damages including emotional distress and punitive awards, with strict liability for providers after the law's enactment. It explicitly allows exceptions for legitimate medical treatments and requires providers to prove such exceptions apply if challenged.

The bill aims to increase transparency and ensure taxpayer dollars are redirected to eligible low-income families rather than being lost to criminal actors.
