Despite Snopes and Facebook’s fact-checking claiming otherwise, documents unveiled earlier this week show the Biden administration aims to put $30 million in taxpayer money into a grant program that would distribute “safe” crack pipe smoking kits for addicts in the name of racial equality. In response to the taxpayer subsidized smoking kit program, Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have introduced the Cutting Rampant Access to Crack Kits (CRACK) Act of 2022. The Act would block American Rescue Plan Act dollars from providing pipes for users to smoke drugs like crack cocaine and crystal meth. Per Sen. Kennedy’s…

Republicans on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee are drawing attention to Joe Biden’s latest extreme nominee. Instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks like Democrats, GOP staff used Sarah Bloom Raskin’s own words against her. (RELATED: Biden Federal Reserve Nominees Refuse to Turn Over Documents) Raskin, Biden’s nominee for Vice Chair for Supervision at the Federal Reserve (the Fed), has said that government should reimagine financial regulation to save us from “an unlivably hot planet.” The staff report — Sarah Bloom Raskin In Her Own Words: “Reimagining” Financial Regulation to Save Us From an “Unlivably Hot Planet” — sheds light…

Senate Republicans, led by Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), are pushing back against the IRS’ new online verification process. The process will compel taxpayers to submit additional personal information, including biometric data. Should the changes go into effect as planned this summer, taxpayers will have to submit this additional information to ID.me, an online identity network partnered with the U.S. government. A press release from Senate Republicans outlines the GOP response thus far: In a letter to IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig, the senators write, “The IRS has unilaterally decided to allow an outside contractor to stand as the gatekeeper between citizens and necessary government…

Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) isn’t a household name. But the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has considerable influence and resources at his disposal. Utilizing those, he and fellow Republicans on the committee, released a new, 65-page report on President Biden’s catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal. The report, “Left Behind: A Brief Assessment of the Biden Administration’s Strategic Failures During the Afghanistan Evacuation” is unsparing in its criticism and comes on the heels of another scandal the White House hopes you don’t notice. Per the NRSC: Newly leaked documents from the White House Situation Room the day before Kabul fell…

This isn’t the first time this has happened either. Back in November, we reported how Soviet-taught Biden nominee Saule Omarova refused to release her Moscow State University thesis praising Karl Marx. Fortunately, Omarova’s obfuscation proved her downfall, as more moderate Democrats came out in opposition to her candidacy. Unfortunately, two more of Biden’s nominees are now following in Omarova’s rebellious footsteps. Senate Banking Committee ranking member Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) is speaking out: U.S. Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) raised serious concerns Friday after the Committee discovered numerous omissions in the Committee questionnaires of Sarah Bloom Raskin and Lisa…

Democrats have only one thing in mind: Power. Their push to eliminate the filibuster in order to get their unpopular and reckless agenda passed is nothing more than a move to gain more power. But Democrats weren’t always this determined to get rid of the decades old rule. They even used it to their benefit more often than not. As The Washington Times reports: If Sen. Charles E. Schumer were still the minority leader, it’s a good bet that he would be using the filibuster enthusiastically to stop Republican priorities, not fighting to eliminate it.The New York Democrat has had…

Vigilant Republicans on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and a key subcommittee are sounding alarm bells throughout Washington. Reps. Brian Babin (R-Texas) and Young Kim (R-Calif.) joined Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) to drawn attention to a legislative maneuver by Democratic leadership. In an attempt to enact their agenda without drawing too much attention, Democrats gutted a bipartisan bill to further NASA’s continued growth. They stuffed it with 735 pages of legislation intended to seize control of elections from states. A press release from Rep. Lucas, the Science, Space and Technology Committee’s ranking member explains: “The majority has taken…

Now that the holiday season is over, have you given any thought to New Year’s resolutions? Well, congressional Democrats have, and unlike many people, they’ll do everything they can to follow through on them. The NRSC explains: It appears that the time away from Washington over the holidays didn’t do much to bring Democrats back to reality. In fact, they’re doubling down on two dead-on-arrival goals: resolving to spend more by passing Bernie Sanders’ multi-trillion-dollar tax-and-spend package and vote on legislation to federalize elections and ban Voter ID.

The Biden administration’s recent actions against a common pesticide have led to fierce criticisms from Republicans on Capitol Hill. Prominent GOP members of Congress expressed their concerns as America’s farmers continue to deal with the fallout from one of the administration’s latest rulings. (RELATED: Local Officials Shut Down Public Comments on Scheme to Control Farmland) Republicans have explicitly expressed concerns about the EPA’s lack of transparency throughout this process: Republican leaders, led by House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.), House Committee on Agriculture Ranking Member Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.), and House Committee on Science, Space, and…

House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.), joined by 22 committee ranking members, called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to immediately reopen the U.S. Capitol complex to the American people. For close to two years, the U.S. Capitol and congressional office buildings have been closed to the public. “The U.S. Capitol is a shrine to the greatest republic in the history of the world, yet you continue to prevent easy access to the American people. Ordinary Americans who wish to visit the People’s House – which their tax dollars maintain – are entirely shut out and may…
