Democrats Propose Bill to Repeal School Choice Program
Democrats say they’re pro-choice. Unless, of course, that means families getting to choose to send their children to a non-public school.

It’s now day 21 of the Schumer shutdown with no sign of the two sides reaching an agreement.

Senate Democrats Block Women’s Sports Bill
