Beautifying Federal Civic Architecture Act This bill declares U.S. policy applicable to public buildings and establishes the President's Council on Improving Federal Civic Architecture. The policy includes that applicable federal public buildings should uplift and beautify public spaces, command respect from the general public, be visually identifiable as civic buildings, respect regional architectural heritage, and meet other specified criteria; in the District of Columbia, classical architecture is the preferred and default architecture for federal public buildings absent exceptional factors; buildings that do not meet specified criteria should be considered for redesign where feasible and economical, particularly with respect to the exterior of the applicable federal building; and the General Services Administration (GSA) should seek input from future users of the applicable federal public buildings and the general public in the community where such buildings will be located before selecting an architectural firm or design style and give the general public's input substantial consideration. The GSA must adhere to the policy. If the GSA proposes to approve a design for a new applicable federal public building that diverges from the preferred architecture, it must notify the Office of the Domestic Policy Advisor and Congress not later than 30 days before the date on which the GSA could reject the design without incurring substantial expenditures and describe the reasons for proposing to approve the design.

This resolution impeaches President Biden for high crimes and misdemeanors for allowing aliens to enter the United States in violation of the immigration laws and for related offenses.

Maddy summaryThis resolution, introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, proposes impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland based on allegations of politicizing the justice system. It claims Garland failed to impartially enforce laws, targeted parents and religious groups, and pursued politically motivated prosecutions (like against former President Trump) while ignoring alleged misconduct by the Biden administration. As a procedural resolution, it has been referred to the Judiciary Committee but has not advanced to a vote or Senate trial. It does not enact any policy changes - it is solely a formal accusation seeking removal from office.

Maddy summaryHRES 411 is a resolution introduced by House members to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, alleging he failed to secure U.S. borders and enforce immigration laws. It claims he violated the Secure Fence Act of 2006 and the Immigration and Nationality Act by not maintaining border control (citing statistics like 6 million border encounters during his tenure), ending border wall construction, and implementing policies like "catch and release" that allegedly facilitated illegal crossings and drug trafficking. The resolution specifically cites failures related to fentanyl seizures (over 14,000 pounds in 2023) and border security protocols. This is a formal House accusation seeking Senate trial, not a law or policy change.

Maddy summaryThis resolution (HRES 405) is a symbolic House action seeking to impeach Matthew M. Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It claims he failed to prosecute 67% of arrests in 2022 (doubling the prior decade's rate), allowed violent crime to rise 23% overall (with homicides up 30%), and prioritized prosecuting political protesters over serious crimes. The resolution asserts these actions "endangered the justice system" and violated his constitutional oath, though it is not a binding legal proceeding. As a procedural resolution, it does not change law or policy and reflects a partisan political statement, not a legislative bill with concrete policy changes.

Maddy summaryHRES 406 is a resolution introduced by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on May 16, 2023, seeking to impeach FBI Director Christopher Wray. It alleges Wray "facilitated the development of a Federal police force" to target individuals opposing the Biden administration, citing specific FBI actions like the August 2022 raid on Donald Trump’s home and claims of surveillance targeting pro-life advocates and Catholic groups. The resolution frames these as violations of Wray’s constitutional oath, arguing he has undermined democratic principles by enabling political persecution. As a procedural resolution (not a law), it does not change policy but formally accuses Wray of misconduct for potential Senate trial. The resolution remains pending before the House Judiciary Committee.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires that AM radio receivers be included as standard equipment in all new motor vehicles (such as cars and trucks) sold in the United States, with a rule to be issued by the Department of Transportation within one year. The rule must ensure AM radio is easily accessible on the dashboard and allows manufacturers to use digital AM radio technology instead of traditional AM. During the one-year period between the bill's enactment and the rule's effective date, manufacturers must clearly label vehicles without AM radio. The bill also directs a study to evaluate whether an alternative system could deliver emergency alerts as reliably as AM radio across the country, especially during crises.

Maddy summaryHR 3492, the Gun Owner Registration Information Protection Act, prohibits federal agencies from funding or supporting state databases that track lawfully owned firearms or their owners. This directly affects states maintaining such databases, requiring them to cover costs themselves if they choose to keep these systems operational. The bill allows federal funding for databases tracking lost or stolen firearms, as specified in the exception. The key policy change is blocking federal financial support for databases compiling information on legal gun ownership, without banning the databases outright.

Maddy summaryThe POLICE Act of 2023 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make it a grounds for deportation if a non-citizen assaults a law enforcement officer. This provision directly affects non-citizens (aliens) who commit such assaults, requiring mandatory deportation proceedings under immigration law. The bill adds a specific clause to the list of deportable offenses without changing criminal penalties for the assault itself. As a result, non-citizens who physically attack police officers or other law enforcement personnel would automatically face deportation as a consequence of their actions.

Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act or the PRIME Act This bill exempts from federal inspection requirements animals and meats that are slaughtered and prepared at custom animal slaughter facilities for distribution within the state. Under current law, a custom slaughter exemption applies if the meat is slaughtered exclusively for personal, household, guest, or employee uses. Specifically, the bill expands the federal inspection exemption to include the slaughter of animals or the preparation of carcasses, meat, and meat food products that are slaughtered and prepared at a custom slaughter facility in accordance with the laws of the state where the facility is located; and prepared exclusively for distribution to household consumers in the state or restaurants, hotels, boarding houses, grocery stores, or other establishments in the state that either prepare meals served directly to consumers or offer meat and food products for sale directly to consumers in the state. The bill does not preempt any state law concerning (1) the slaughter of animals or the preparation of carcasses, meat, and meat food products at a custom slaughter facility; or (2) the sale of meat or meat food products.
