Maddy summaryThe Jewish American Security Act aims to combat antisemitism by strengthening protections for Jewish students, securing Jewish communities, and increasing transparency regarding online hate speech. For educational institutions receiving federal funds, the bill mandates the creation of specific coordinators to handle discrimination complaints, requires annual training on handling antisemitism, and establishes a new federal clearinghouse to share best practices for campus safety. To support physical security, the legislation expands grant funding for nonprofit organizations and directs the Attorney General to provide resources for law enforcement agencies protecting houses of worship. Additionally, the act requires major online platforms with over 50 million monthly users to submit detailed reports to the Federal Trade Commission on how they detect, remove, and moderate antisemitic content.

Maddy summaryThis joint resolution directs Congress to disapprove a specific foreign military sale of defense articles and services to Turkey. The measure targets the provision of engines, technical data, and related support for the TF-X aircraft, which was proposed for sale in June 2026.

It directly affects the proposed sale and the entities involved in supplying the F110-GE-129E/F engines.

Maddy summaryHR 4398, the Veteran Burial Timeliness and Death Certificate Accountability Act, requires Veterans Affairs (VA) physicians or nurse practitioners to certify the death of a veteran who dies of natural causes within 48 hours of learning of the death. This directly affects veterans' families, who previously faced delays of up to eight weeks in burial and access to survivor benefits due to slow death certifications. The bill mandates annual reports to Congress on VA compliance with the 48-hour rule, including statistics on delays and their causes. The key change is establishing a strict timeline for death certification to prevent unnecessary delays in honoring veterans' final arrangements.

Maddy summaryThe GRACE for Military Survivors Act extends the deadline for contributing military death benefits to Roth IRAs and Coverdell education savings accounts from one year to three years. This change directly benefits families of service members who receive these death benefits, giving them more time to save for retirement or education. The law applies to benefits received after the bill is enacted and includes a special rule allowing contributions made within a specific window for benefits received between 2001 and the enactment date. By amending the Internal Revenue Code, the bill ensures that eligible funds can be deposited into these tax-advantaged accounts without losing their value due to time limits.

Maddy summaryThis resolution condemns the Lebanese group Hezbollah for repeatedly breaking ceasefire agreements by launching attacks against Israel and calls on the Lebanese government to stop these attacks and disarm Hezbollah forces in the South Litani Sector.

The measure also supports direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon to resolve their conflict while rejecting outside interference from Iran or Hezbollah in Lebanon's internal affairs.

Maddy summaryThis joint resolution expresses Congress's disapproval of a specific federal rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regarding the Affordable Care Act and the Basic Health Program for 2027.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a new defense cooperation program between the United States and countries that have normalized relations with Israel since 2020. The initiative aims to strengthen military ties by focusing on specific capabilities such as air defense, missile systems, and joint training exercises.

Additionally, the legislation expresses a congressional preference for participating nations to contribute their own matching funds to the program.

Maddy summaryThe Concrete Pump Tax Fairness Act introduces a new mileage-based fee for owners of mobile concrete boom pump vehicles that travel within the United States. This tax charges $0.05 per mile for vehicles weighing 60,000 pounds or less and $0.07 per mile for heavier vehicles, with payments due quarterly. The bill requires the government to create a system that uses existing vehicle technology to track mileage while protecting operator privacy and minimizing administrative burdens. Additionally, the law allows these vehicles to use existing fuel tax credits to offset the new fee and excludes them from certain existing highway use requirements. All collected fees will be deposited into the Highway Trust Fund to support road infrastructure.
