Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the Stop the SPLC Act of 2026, would remove the tax-exempt status of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The change applies to all taxable years occurring after the bill is enacted.
Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for the Department of State to prevent members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from infiltrating the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It also urges the State Department to limit the delegation's time in the United States to only what is necessary for playing scheduled matches. As a non-binding measure of congressional sentiment, the bill does not create new laws or enforceable rules but instead signals official backing for existing security protocols. The text frames these actions as necessary national security steps given the IRGC's designation as a foreign terrorist organization and its history of using sports events for intelligence gathering.
Maddy summaryThis resolution introduces articles of impeachment against U.S. District Court Judge Eleanor Louise Ross, targeting her for three specific allegations of misconduct. The first article charges her with engaging in an undisclosed extramarital affair with a law enforcement officer while on the job, which created a conflict of interest and violated judicial conduct codes. The second article accuses her of attending a partisan political event sponsored by a district attorney's campaign and admitting to drinking alcohol before presiding over a criminal case. The third article alleges that she knowingly made false statements to federal judges during an investigation into her behavior, thereby obstructing an official proceeding and violating federal law.
Maddy summaryThe American White-Collar Worker Jobs Act of 2026 primarily targets H-1B visa holders by tightening rules to protect U.S. workers and limit the number of foreign employees admitted. It requires employers to prove they have tried to hire qualified Americans first, pay wages at the 75th percentile, and ensure they do not displace or lay off U.S. staff within a year of hiring a nonimmigrant. The bill also caps the total number of H-1B visas at 65,000 annually, prioritizes applicants with higher salaries, and restricts the maximum stay to two years. Additionally, it grants the Department of Labor the authority to investigate violations, impose fines, and ban employers from using H-1B workers for up to a decade if they break the rules.
Maddy summaryThis joint resolution expresses the U.S. Congress's disapproval of a specific law passed by the District of Columbia Council. The D.C. law, known as the Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Temporary Amendment Act of 2026, was designed to increase transparency regarding how police officers use force. By submitting this resolution, Congress formally objects to the local legislation but does not change any laws or policies. The measure serves as a symbolic statement of disagreement rather than a functional change to federal or local governance.
Maddy summaryThis joint resolution expresses the U.S. Congress's disapproval of a specific law passed by the District of Columbia Council. The bill directly affects the District of Columbia by rejecting its "Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026," which was intended to modify how arrest data is reported. The mechanism used is a formal legislative statement that does not change any laws or policies but serves to record the federal government's opposition to the local action. This measure is a procedural response that highlights a disagreement between the federal and local governments without altering the actual operation of arrest reporting in Washington, D.C.
Maddy summaryThis resolution proposes to officially designate June as "Family Month" to highlight the importance of the traditional nuclear family. It also calls for the House of Representatives to stop recognizing Pride Month, which it argues has replaced the celebration of family values. The bill is sponsored by a group of representatives who believe that strengthening traditional marriage is essential for societal stability and population growth.
Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Preventing International Surrogacy Exploitation Act, aims to stop foreign nationals from using U.S. surrogate mothers for commercial surrogacy arrangements. It would make any surrogacy contract void and unenforceable if the intended parents are foreign citizens or permanent residents, with a specific exception for married couples where at least one partner is a U.S. citizen or resident. Additionally, the law prohibits surrogacy brokers from facilitating these agreements and imposes criminal penalties, including fines and up to 10 years in prison, for those who knowingly or recklessly assist in such contracts. Children born through these invalid agreements would have their custody determined by the state where the surrogate lives, focusing on the child's best interests rather than the contract. Finally, the bill prevents foreign parents from using their U.S.-born children to gain immigration benefits or rights under U.S. immigration laws.
