Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits male students from participating in athletic programs at the U.S. Military Academies (West Point, Annapolis, and Air Force Academy) designated exclusively for women or girls. It allows males to train with such teams only if no female athlete loses a roster spot, competition opportunity, scholarship, or other benefit. The bill defines "sex" as biological sex at birth and clarifies that "athletic programs" include all team-based activities requiring participation. It directly affects the women's sports teams at these three service academies and their eligibility rules.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to update its Northern Border Security Threat Analysis every five years, including specific new elements. It mandates assessments of current staffing levels versus projected needs, future retirement surges (noting a 400% increase expected by 2028), housing challenges, and local recruitment plans for northern border ports. The bill also requires CBP to develop and update a plan addressing retirement surges, staffing shortages, and the feasibility of recruitment tools like bonuses or student loan repayment. These provisions directly affect CBP staffing at northern border ports, which face unique challenges like harsh weather and housing shortages that hinder officer retention.

Maddy summaryHR 3259, the Post Quantum Cybersecurity Standards Act, requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to promote the voluntary adoption of quantum-resistant encryption standards. It directly affects critical infrastructure operators and digital infrastructure providers deemed high-risk for quantum-related cyber threats. Key provisions include NIST disseminating public guidance, offering technical assistance, and establishing a grant program to help these entities adopt new encryption standards and address vulnerabilities. The bill mandates collaboration with Homeland Security and sector-specific agencies but does not mandate compliance or create new regulatory requirements.

Maddy summaryHR 884 prohibits non-U.S. citizens from voting in all District of Columbia elections, including for public office and ballot initiatives. It directly affects non-citizen residents of Washington, D.C., who currently vote under the repealed 2022 law. The bill repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022 (D.C. Law 24-242), restoring the previous rule that limited voting to U.S. citizens. This changes D.C.'s local election rules by removing voting rights for non-citizens, applying only to District-level elections, not federal elections.

Maddy summaryHRES 494 is a symbolic House resolution condemning violent protests in Los Angeles on June 6, 2025, which included assaults on law enforcement, vandalism of federal property, and destruction of personal property. It specifically targets Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom, accusing them of obstructing federal immigration enforcement through sanctuary policies and failing to condemn the violence. The resolution affirms the federal government's duty to enforce immigration laws and supports prosecuting individuals who commit violence against law enforcement. It does not create new laws or policies but expresses formal disapproval of the officials' actions and the rioters' conduct.

Maddy summaryThis bill would require the Attorney General to annually identify state or local governments that fail to comply with federal immigration cooperation laws, such as sharing immigration status information or honoring detainer requests. Jurisdictions found non-compliant would lose eligibility for all federal financial assistance (including grants and programs) for at least one year. The law mandates annual reports to Congress and allows any member of Congress to request compliance reports on specific jurisdictions. It directly affects cities, counties, and states that do not follow federal immigration enforcement directives.

Maddy summaryHR 3892, the Flow Act, clarifies that replacing privately-owned lead service lines connected to public water systems does not count as "private business use" under federal tax law. This change directly affects public water systems and issuers of tax-exempt bonds by allowing them to use bond proceeds for lead pipe replacement without disqualifying the bonds from tax-exempt status. The bill specifies that funds used to replace lead service lines to comply with federal lead regulations (as defined in the Safe Drinking Water Act) qualify for this tax treatment. The provision applies to bonds issued after December 31, 2025, facilitating future financing for lead pipe removal projects.

Maddy summaryThis bill would make non-citizens deportable if they incite or participate in riots during civil unrest involving assaults on law enforcement or military personnel, or destruction of public property, and who were unlawfully present, had DACA, or were lawful permanent residents at the time of the offense. It permanently bars such individuals from reentering the U.S. or accessing any relief from deportation, including asylum, cancellation of removal, or future DACA benefits. During declared emergencies (such as national disasters or state emergencies), the law mandates expedited removal and mandatory detention for those covered, with no discretion for enforcement.

Maddy summaryHR 3881, the "Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act," denies certain federal grants to states or localities that restrict sharing immigration status information or comply with federal immigration detainers. Specifically, it defines "sanctuary jurisdictions" as those with policies prohibiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement requests (under Sections 236/287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act). The bill blocks recipients from receiving Economic Development Administration grants and Community Development Block Grants if they are deemed a sanctuary jurisdiction. Local officials complying with federal detainers gain legal protections, including immunity from lawsuits, while jurisdictions violating the law face mandatory return of funds. The policy takes effect October 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHRES 481 is a symbolic resolution condemning recent antisemitic attacks in the U.S., specifically referencing the June 1, 2025, Boulder, Colorado, assault on a Jewish community gathering and other incidents like the May 2025 Washington, D.C., embassy shooting. It formally recognizes a pattern of violence targeting Jewish individuals and institutions, including attacks during religious events. The resolution calls on law enforcement to thoroughly investigate and prosecute such incidents and urges elected officials to publicly oppose antisemitism and politically motivated violence. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or allocate funding but serves to affirm congressional stance against antisemitism.
