Much of the activity on Capitol Hill right now centers on who will hold what leadership positions in the House and Senate and the progress or lack of it by the controversial nominees for cabinet posts who need Senate confirmation. Because Robert Kennedy hasn’t started doing his meetings/interviews with Senators yet, Pete Hegseth has been …

“I’m tired of living through historic events.” It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply during this time. In the past four years of American history, we’ve navigated a global pandemic, witnessed the overturn of Roe v Wade, and faced the growing rise of Christian nationalism in our government. Now, with the re-election of a president …

Thanks to the hundreds of people who used our Action Alert last week to ask their House members to oppose the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act which contains a provision that could be used to target nonprofits that might have occasion to criticize the President. The Secretary of the Treasury could designate any …

It turns out the election wasn’t rigged after all. Apparently Democrats can’t do anything right. Looking at the popular vote, Trump improved from 47 percent in 2020 to (when California finishes counting), 50 percent. Three people out of 100 changed from a blue shirt to a red shirt because, apparently in most cases, their economic situation is worse …

Imagine two people are crouched at the beginning of a track, ready to race. The starting pistol fires and they both take off. They each have an individual desire to win, but in this race only one of them has an additional driving force causing them to run faster: an angry bear. Who do you …
“To govern is to choose.” This was President John Kennedy’s succinct description of his job and the innumerable decisions about what government programs to fund, whether to go to war, who should benefit from tax cuts, and every other area touched by the federal government. But before a president gets to make these choices, we choose …

Both Harris and Trump are beginning to make their closing arguments. Harris seems to be going more negative, attacking Trump on a variety of fronts. Trump may be reaching out to his evangelical base more than he has been, though it’s difficult to tell with him. Last Monday he spoke to a large group of …
Heretic on the Hill: A Tale of Two Campaign Speeches Read More »
While an extremely lengthy and often frustrating read, there is much to analyze and learn from Project 2025 and its authors’ writing strategies. Cleverly using semantics throughout Project 2025, the authors somewhat successfully mask the fundamental reasoning behind, and severity of, many of their proposed solutions.
