House Minority Forcing Members to go on Record on Anti-Semitism
Support for Israel has been a point of bi-partisan agreement and cooperation, but Democrats in the House are making what normally are straightforward votes difficult.

Congressional Hearings on the So-Called “Equality Act” Expose True Threats to Women and Girls
Congress is debating the “Equality Act,” a top-ten priority of Speaker Pelosi (D-California) and House Democrats. It would enshrine “gender identity” as a protected trait in federal civil rights law.
