FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., is set to introduce a bill to block China from continuing to infiltrate American airspace and aviation. Over the past 20 years, Chinese entities have been allowed to buy American general aviation companies, gaining backdoor access to aviation that feeds into military pilot training and the defense supply chain.

Harrigan’s General Aviation Protection (GAP) Act of 2026 would create a general aviation-focused restriction on China and other “countries of concern.” Congress could expand government authority to block, review, and monitor China’s involvement without restricting aviation.

“Walk into any regional airport in this country and you’ll see a Cirrus on the tarmac, sleek, American-made, flying the flag. What you won’t see is that the company building it has been owned by China’s state-controlled [Aviation Industry Corp.] AVIC since 2011, the same conglomerate that builds fighter jets and drones for the [People’s Liberation Army, a military wing of the Chinese Communist Party] PLA. And Cirrus isn’t the only one,” Harrigan told the Daily Signal.

“For two decades, Chinese entities have been quietly buying up American aviation companies, absorbing our engineers, our manufacturing know-how, and our FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] certifications the whole time, and Washington never built a system to catch it. This bill is that system,” Harrigan continued.

The GAP Act would prohibit any sale of an aviation company if it is linked to a government-linked foreign adversary entity, such as the Chinese Communist Party.

It would also mandate a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States of any investment in general aviation by a country of concern, which the United States has deemed to include China.

Specifically, the review would cover aircraft, engine, and helicopter manufacturers; avionics companies; and certain FAA-certified flight schools near military bases.

The review would identify any Chinese military-civil fusion, military applications of the technology, or training programs involving foreign nationals.

The bill also requires a federal review of aviation real estate, including general aviation airports, fixed-base operators, flight schools, maintenance facilities, and hangars, with heightened scrutiny if they are near military bases.

Harrigan is a combat-decorated Green Beret veteran who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

FIRST ON DAILY SIGNAL—Maryland officials struggled to keep track of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding, according to an analysis of state financial data.

An audit found the state’s transportation department misreported $417 million, the Department of Human Services poorly tracked more than $200 million in funding, and other agencies committed similar accounting errors.

The fiscal watchdog group Truth in Accounting, which first shared its findings with the Daily Signal, based its analysis primarily on the 2025 Single Audit and Independent Auditor Report. The single audit is a required review for states receiving federal funding.

“Taxpayers deserve to know exactly where their money is going and whether it’s being handled responsibly,” the watchdog’s analysis said.

The findings come as states have faced growing scrutiny over their stewardship of federal taxpayer dollars following high-profile fraud cases in Minnesota and California. Truth in Accounting contends that single audits could be a key tool for the federal government as it ramps up anti-fraud efforts.

The Maryland audit did not find that money was unaccounted for; rather, it gave numerous examples of how federal funds were incorrectly reported or classified.

“Until Maryland addresses these root causes, the risks to accurate reporting and accountable governance will remain high,” the analysis stated.

One of the audit’s biggest findings involved the Maryland Department of Transportation, or MDOT, which was forced to reverse $417 million in reported revenue that didn’t qualify under accounting rules.

“The department recorded approximately $417 million of revenue that did not meet MDOT’s availability criterion policy (collection within 60 days) and subsequently required an audit adjustment to reduce revenue and increase unavailable revenue by approximately $417 million,” the state’s single audit says.

Maryland Department of Transportation spokeswoman Meredith Devereux said that after the adjustment, under the government-wide financial statements, “there was no impact to MDOT’s overall financial position or the amount ultimately received from the federal government.”

“Following discussions with the independent auditors, MDOT refined its methodology to recognize only amounts collected within a 60-day availability period for the governmental fund statements,” Devereux told the Daily Signal.

Reporting problems were significant enough that the Department of Human Services had to reclassify more than $208 million in federal spending, a mistake that “had an impact on the major program determination,” the audit said.

Maryland Department of Human Services spokeswoman Lilly Price said the issues cited in the audit “did not, ultimately, result in the state of Maryland losing any revenue.”

“The department reclassified and corrected the misallocations, which were caused by a technical issue,” Price told the Daily Signal. “Safeguarding taxpayer dollars remains a top priority for the agency, and we have put new safeguards in place to prevent similar accounting issues from recurring in the future.”

The audit also found the state’s Department of Emergency Management failed to properly report $132 million in grant payments to subrecipients, while the Department of Labor failed to properly report more than $36 million in similar payments.

“This isn’t about one isolated mistake. It is a pattern across multiple state agencies, characterized by weak controls, poor documentation, staffing shortages, and outdated systems,” the Truth in Accounting report said. “Together, these problems increase the risk of errors, unsupported spending, and potential waste or noncompliance with federal rules, all at the expense of Maryland taxpayers.”

Maryland agencies also didn’t closely monitor grant money to nonprofit organizations. “When oversight fails, there’s little assurance that federal dollars handed to outside entities are being spent as intended or used in compliance with federal requirements,” the report said.

Allison Foster, spokeswoman for Maryland’s Department of Housing and Community Development, said the 2025 Single Audit found administrative documentation gaps in the monitoring of subrecipients, not a failure to monitor their actual use of federal funds.

“The department does not rely solely on single audits for oversight of pass-through federal funding,” Foster said. “In addition to reviewing applicable single audit reports, the department conducts supplemental monitoring activities such as desk reviews, reimbursement reviews, compliance testing, risk-based monitoring, technical assistance, and on-site monitoring visits depending on the nature of the program and identified risks.”

Maryland’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund lacked a reliable system for tracking its finances and enough experienced accountants to maintain accurate records during the year, according to the audit.

“We observed that the Maryland Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund (the UI Fund) does not employ a general ledger system to record the financial results of the UI Fund,” the single audit says.

“During the course of the fiscal year, management did not reconcile certain cash accounts, accounts receivable or benefits payable and rather reconciled and adjusted such balances after year-end,” the single audit continued.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Republican candidate running for South Dakota’s only House of Representatives seat laid out his Capitol Hill priorities in an interview with the Daily Signal Tuesday.

Marty Jackley served as South Dakota’s attorney general from 2009 to 2019 and assumed office again in 2023. Jackley told the Daily Signal he plans to bring his legal expertise to D.C. to prioritize fighting fraud, crime, and abortion advocacy on Capitol Hill.

Here are five things to know about Jackley’s record and his priorities in Congress if elected in the November general election.

1. The Very Likely Winner

While Jackley faces a Democrat opponent, Nicole Gronli, analysts expect he will defeat her. The Cook Political Report rates the seat as “Safe Republican” and Jackley has raised more than six times as much money as Gronli, a former rural development state director at the U.S. Department of Agriculture under President Joe Biden.

“The campaign is going exceptionally well,” Jackley told the Daily Signal. “We had a strong primary. We won that 80-20, but we’re getting to work.”

“I just love the campaign,” Jackley added. “I get to talk to South Dakotans about what they want to see in public safety and AG’s position, as well as what they want to see in a voice for Congress.”

2. Fighting Fraud

Jackley told the Daily Signal that he combated fraud in the Mount Rushmore State and aims to keep doing so in Congress. In fact, his history of fighting fraud in South Dakota landed him a seat at Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud roundtable earlier this year.

“Government accountability has been a key component of what I’ve done as attorney general and the platform that I’m running on for Congress,” he said.

“I brought about a dozen or so criminal cases—indictments—on public corruption, personally tried the Department of Social Services’ $1.8 million fraud and got a conviction on that by a jury, and then I put in place a statutory framework.”

The statutory framework Jackley established as AG addressed government accountability in South Dakota by “strengthening the auditing process, whistleblower protections, and [adding] stronger penalties” for fraudsters. 

“I believe in limited government and protecting the taxpayers, and the best way to protect the taxpayers is government accountability,” he said.

3. Setting His Sights on Judiciary

Jackley intends to bring his legal expertise to continue to fight crime and support law enforcement in D.C.  

“I’ve asked leadership to serve on judiciary,” the candidate told the Daily Signal. “I think I can be a strong voice for public safety sitting on the Judiciary Committee.”

He also expressed interest in serving on the Agriculture Committee to reform farm policy and in utilizing his background as an electrical engineer to serve on the Energy and Commerce Committee.

4. Jackley’s Record on Abortion

The attorney general didn’t just fight crime regarding fraud, however.

In December 2025, he wrote a cease-and-desist letter to abortion advocacy group Mayday Health after it posted abortion pill ads at South Dakota gas stations, advertising the drug mifepristone to induce abortion.

Mayday responded with a lawsuit, specifically naming Jackley and Larry Rhoden, the governor of South Dakota.

“Our position is that they are directly putting young women in contact with the pill sales, and then that they’re delivering the mifepristone and other pills that are illegal in South Dakota,” Jackley told the Daily Signal.

In March, the parties reached a settlement.

“It was a good settlement for South Dakota to keep the pills and the advertisements out of our state,” Jackley said.

The South Dakota Legislature banned the abortion pill in January, and Jackley intends to do the same in Congress.

“I have the same philosophy that the Legislature had, and I would carry that on to Congress,” he told the Daily Signal.

5. Supporting the SAVE America Act

The attorney general pledged to vote for the SAVE America Act, an election integrity measure, if elected to the House.

“Absolutely we’ll support the SAVE Act,” Jackley said. “We already do that in South Dakota.”

The SAVE Act, HR 22, would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to vote. While it passed the House of Representatives, it stalled in the Senate. HR 7296, the SAVE America Act, includes the SAVE Act provisions but also includes other election integrity measures, such as requiring states to use federal databases to verify voter rolls.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has called on Congress to honor Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who died Saturday night, by passing the SAVE America Act.
