AOC is Right?
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, a truth that was proven yet again when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York 14th), colloquially known as AOC), posted on X that gambling is bad for society. It’s hard to imagine I’m typing this, but AOC is entirely correct. The now-viral social media post was a […]
Hostile Foreign Nations Are Influencing American Universities; Greater Transparency Is Needed
American universities are supposed to be the exemplar of what makes this country great. And yet malign foreign influence has been eroding the integrity of American higher education for years. Rather than turning out scholars and patriots, universities have become bastions of anti-American sentiment, woke academia, and treasure troves of sensitive information for nations that […]
Democrats Elevate LGBTQ Flag While Refusing to Fund the Government
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been shut down for almost two weeks after Congress failed to pass a funding bill before the February 13 deadline. But instead of trying to reach a deal with their Republican colleagues, Senate Democrats have a different priority – granting the LGBTQ rainbow flag the same Congressionally recognized […]
No, Requiring Voter ID is Not Sexist
There are two similar bills causing the controversy du jour on Capitol Hill – the SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act. Both would better protect the integrity of elections in the U.S. by ensuring voter ID and requiring proof of citizenship. But opponents are arguing that, among other claims, these bills are sexist and […]
Congress Passed School Choice; Now It’s Up to the States to Implement It
For many families, finances are the primary obstacle to escaping the public school system. Private schools are expensive; homeschooling usually requires one parent to stay at home part or full-time. Even extracurricular activities or tutoring require some kind of sacrifice. The result is that the number of families who desire school choice far outstrip those […]
Senate Hearing on Chemical Abortion Turns Into Basic Biology Lesson
It is impossible to care about women and their health if you cannot define what a woman is. That simple truth was put on full display at a recent Senate hearing aimed at exposing the dangers of chemical abortion. As the pro-life witnesses shared the threats that the unregulated chemical abortion pill poses to women’s […]
What’s in Store for Congress in 2026
Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) celebrated huge wins that came out of Congress in 2025. From the first federal school choice provision, defunding the big abortion industry, increasing the Child Tax Credit, to the first federal ban on men in women’s sports (just to name a few), a lot of progress was […]
HHS Ends Taxpayer Funding of Sex-Rejecting Procedures
For far too long, the American medical industry has been captured by an ideology that says sex is interchangeable, that the temporary whims of a child should be affirmed by permanent surgical mutilation. But at last, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) announced that they are pulling the plug on these barbaric practices. For […]

Congress Bans Dangerous Hemp-Based Products
While America cheered that Congress finally funded the government, the funding bill included a less celebrated but far more significant victory – a ban on dangerous intoxicating hemp products. For years, seemingly harmless hemp products have been filling the shelves of gas stations, vape shops, and liquor stores. THC seltzer waters and soda, Hemp-laced gummies […]
Department of Education Begins Its “Final Mission”
When Linda McMahon was named Secretary of Education, her stated purpose was to work herself out of a job by shutting down the Department of Education (ED). The White House announced this week that she might be on the verge of doing just that. For decades, Concerned Women for America (CWA) has looked forward to […]
Schumer Shutdown Comes to an End
After over 43 days and 15 votes on the House-passed funding bill, the longest government shutdown in American history is finally over. Despite its record-breaking length, despite forcing thousands of federal workers to miss multiple paychecks, despite low-income families losing their SNAP benefits, despite thousands of flight cancellations and hours long TSA lines, the finale […]
Schumer Shutdown Update: What’s Happening with SNAP
As of November 1, government funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, officially ran out due to the continued government shutdown. As Democrats, led by Sen.

Senate Hearing Highlights Urgent Problem of Left-Wing Political Violence
“It’s a both sides problem, and both sides need to tone down the rhetoric.” That’s the mantra we have heard repeatedly after each violent political attack over the last 15 months. And yet, it seems as if a disproportionate number of these attacks are inspired by left-wing political rhetoric. Without acknowledging the source of this […]
Shutdown Update: The RIFs Have Begun
It’s now day 21 of the Schumer shutdown with no sign of the two sides reaching an agreement. As the situation drags on, the White House is looking for ways to ensure that critical programs are still funded and operational. One way is to cut the jobs and agencies that are unnecessary government bloat. Last […]
The Shutdown Continues
At midnight on October 1, the government shut down for the first time in seven years. As Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) reported last week, the disagreement lies in the Republicans’ desire to keep funding levels as they are for the time being (which is high already), whereas Democrats want to increase […]
CWA / YWA at the Texas Youth Summit
The future of America rests in the hearts and minds of the next generation.

Will Chuck Schumer Shutdown the Government?
Once again, it’s the twelfth hour before government funding runs out, and it is unclear what Congress will do. Will they pass a spending bill in time?

Senate Hearing Reveals Meta Buried Research into Online Child Abuse
It has been over a year since Mark Zuckerburg stood in front of a room full of grieving parents and apologized for the many children who have been irreversibly harmed by his online platforms. On that day, he promised to make things right, to protect future users from exploitation. But in a Senate hearing last […]
Marijuana Should Remain a Schedule I Drug
Just because “everyone is doing it,” doesn’t make it good. No better substance exemplifies that sentiment in the present age than marijuana. Some states have, unfortunately, gone down this path – from the ever-present stench of weed wafting through city streets to the fact that daily cannabis use has surpassed that of alcohol, marijuana is […]
