Maddy summaryThe Build the Ballroom Act authorizes the President to construct a permanent ballroom on White House grounds to address space limitations for large formal events. This legislation allows the President to approve the project solely, provided the new facility includes necessary utilities, furniture, and the removal of existing structures. The bill cites past security incidents as a reason for keeping major events on campus rather than off-site. Ultimately, the act enables the creation of a secure, modern venue capable of hosting state dinners and other gatherings for over 200 guests.

Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act, ends the Temporary Protected Status program for individuals currently holding that status in the United States. It requires that any existing status grants terminate immediately upon the law's enactment. Affected individuals must depart the country within 60 days of the bill becoming effective to avoid being classified as unlawfully present. The legislation removes the specific legal protections previously established under Section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Maddy summaryThe Make DC Square Again Act proposes to reverse a 19th-century decision by returning the land currently known as Arlington County and the independent City of Alexandria in Virginia back to the District of Columbia. This legislation would repeal the 1846 law that retroceded this territory to the Commonwealth of Virginia, effectively making the district ten miles square as originally intended by the Constitution. Upon enactment, federal and local laws of the District of Columbia would apply to the restored area, while existing property rights and any pending legal cases in Virginia courts would remain unaffected.
Maddy summaryThe MATCH Act requires U.S. agencies to align export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment with allied nations to prevent adversaries from accessing critical technology. It mandates a 150-day period for diplomatic efforts to secure countrywide denial policies from allied suppliers, after which U.S. jurisdiction would extend to equipment exported from countries not complying with these controls. The bill specifically targets semiconductor manufacturing equipment that the U.S. cannot currently produce in high volume and includes a list of Chinese companies deemed to warrant comprehensive restrictions. If allies fail to implement matching controls, the Act would allow the U.S. to regulate equipment exported from non-compliant allied countries and restrict servicing of restricted items at facilities in adversary nations. The legislation includes a sunset provision that expires five years after enactment, with annual reporting requirements to Congress on progress and compliance.
Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Full AI Stack Export Promotion Act, aims to increase the global export of U.S.-developed artificial intelligence systems, computing hardware, and related standards. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to establish a program that helps industry groups export U.S. AI technology to allied nations while working with the State Department to remove foreign barriers to these exports. The legislation also requires government agencies to develop security measures to prevent unauthorized access by foreign adversaries and to track the success of these export efforts through regular reports to Congress.
Maddy summaryThe ACCESS Act of 2026 aims to improve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for public accommodations, affecting individuals with disabilities, business owners, and website/app developers. It directs the Department of Justice to create an education program on accessibility strategies for property and website owners. A key provision requires individuals to provide written notice of an architectural or technological access barrier and a 60-day period for the owner to address it before a civil lawsuit can be filed. Additionally, the bill mandates a study on various website accessibility standards and directs the Judicial Conference to develop a model mediation program for architectural barrier claims.
Maddy summaryThis bill restricts immigration and naturalization by adding new grounds for inadmissibility and deportation based on membership in or advocacy for specific political ideologies, including socialism, communism, Chinese communism, Marxism, and Islamic fundamentalism. It directly affects foreign nationals and permanent residents by making them ineligible for entry or citizenship if they have affiliated with or promoted these ideologies, with exceptions only for advocacy that occurred before age 14. The law defines these ideologies in detail and designates specific organizations as examples of each category, while also prohibiting court review of determinations made under these provisions. Additionally, the bill expands the grounds for revoking naturalized citizenship and requires the Attorney General to issue regulations implementing these changes.
Maddy summaryThe Equal Treatment for Farmers Act removes references to 'socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers' from multiple federal agricultural laws and programs. This bill amends various statutes including the Federal Crop Insurance Act, Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, and other agricultural legislation to eliminate special preferences or categories based on social disadvantage status. The legislation also prohibits the USDA from providing any preference, priority consideration, or enhanced benefits based on race or gender in its programs. These changes affect how federal agricultural assistance, loans, and benefits are categorized and distributed to farmers and ranchers.
Maddy summaryThe DEPORT Act of 2026 proposes changes to U.S. immigration law regarding terrorism-related offenses. It would require all naturalization applicants to attest under oath that they have not committed, have charges pending for, or intend to commit specific terrorism-related crimes. The bill also establishes new procedures for denaturalizing U.S. citizens, allowing convictions or credible evidence of these offenses to be used as grounds for revoking citizenship, with certain presumptions of illegal procurement. Furthermore, it would make individuals convicted of such offenses inadmissible to the U.S., deportable if denaturalized, ineligible for most immigration benefits, and permanently barred from future admission. These provisions directly affect naturalization applicants, naturalized citizens, and aliens seeking admission or other immigration benefits.
Maddy summaryThe Maverick Act authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to transfer three F-14D Tomcat aircraft to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama, without charge to the Commission. The Commission would be responsible for all costs associated with the aircraft, including conveyance, operation, and maintenance. The bill requires the aircraft to be demilitarized and used exclusively for public display, airshows, or commemorative events to preserve naval aviation heritage. The Commission must also comply with all Federal Aviation Administration regulations, and if these conditions are violated, ownership of the aircraft would revert to the United States.
