If those in federal office are willing to pay attention, the states are displaying the best—and the worst—of our republican form of government. Every four years, American citizens get the opportunity to express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the direction of the country, endorse a policy agenda for the nation, and hold the occupant of […]
Efforts by conservative Republicans to prevent a House vote on foreign aid bills to Ukraine, Israel and Pacific allies failed Thursday after Democrats intervened. The four bills include another $60.84 billion in taxpayer money for Ukraine, $26.38 billion for Israel and $8.12 billion for Pacific allies such as Taiwan. A fourth bill would demand TikTok’s […]
House Democrats released an agenda Thursday that includes a vow to codify a right to so-called gender-affirming care—transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers. The promise came within the Congressional Progressive Caucus’ agenda, which House Democrats first shared with NBC News. That agenda includes a slew of left-wing interests, including promises of a higher minimum wage […]
Just over six months after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the speakership by House Democrats and a handful of Republicans, current Speaker Mike Johnson faces a similar threat. A number of Republicans in the House object to the way in which Johnson is handling foreign aid legislation that would give billions to […]
Rep. Ralph Norman reintroduced a bill Wednesday aimed at stopping a form of federal spending known as earmarks. “I’ve always said that earmarks are evil,” Norman, R-N.C. told The Daily Signal. “They are sneaky in the way that they get tacked onto big, important spending packages to be automatically passed by the ‘uniparty’ with […]
Republicans may be on the brink of getting rid of another House speaker. At least, that’s what it looks like to Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

The House delivered the two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on Tuesday afternoon. The articles are expected to be acted on quickly by the Democrat-controlled Senate, but not in the manner House GOP lawmakers are seeking. “We want to address this issue as expeditiously as possible,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck […]
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., announced on social media Tuesday that he’s co-sponsoring a motion to vacate the chair against House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. In doing so, Massie joined the motion to vacate push against Johnson launched by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in March. Massie is the first other Republican to back Greene in the effort. […]
The federal government increasingly looks like an Ivy League classroom, combining therapy for fragile souls with indoctrination into specious ideology. Nowhere is this more apparent than at the State Department, where employees are encouraged to take courses in the name of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, or DEIA, that stress their differences, trauma, and status on the […]
One would hope that elected officials would know more about astronomy than the average middle schooler. Well, despite having served as the U.S. Representative for Texas’ 18th Congressional District since 1995, up to and including leading the House Science Committee’s space subcommittee, Sheila Jackson Lee apparently did not. Instead she made a series of absurd […]
