Opinion | Why Trump Needs Recess Appointments
But starting in George W. Bush’s presidency, the Senate broke from that longstanding tradition. Even though senators were (and are) often absent from Washington, the Senate has blocked recess appointments through the use of pro forma sessions: periods in which the Senate technically remains in session but does no work. In 2012, President Obama attempted to appoint three members of the NLRB during one of the Senate’s pro forma sessions.
FBI Admits It Got 4,500 Tips on Kavanaugh But Didn’t Investigate Them

Reps. Jordan And Cammack Launch Campus Free Speech Caucus
“Let’s be honest, our college campuses these days … aren’t higher education institutions. These are indoctrination camps,” Rep. Kat Cammack said on Fox News on Monday. She and Rep. Jim Jordan are fed up with it, so they’re fighting back. Both House Republicans just partnered with Young America’s Foundation (YAF) to establish the Campus Free Speech Caucus in the House of Representatives.
'Our Country Is In Crisis'
House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy issued a memo to colleagues on Sunday, outlining the nation’s crises six months into Biden pursuing his agenda with unified control of the federal government. “Operation Warp Speed has brought our country back from the brink,” McCarthy wrote, trumpeting a pillar of success under the Trump administration, which aggressively sought the development of COVID-19 vaccines in record time — and with them, a return to normal.
Russia Collusion Hoax Just Got Deep-Sixed Again By Don McGahn
After waiting two years to interview former White House Counsel Don McGahn, the Democrats once again found no evidence of Russian collusion in the 2016 election. The transcript of the interview, totaling 241 pages, was made public Wednesday, and confirmed what Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation had already found: that there was no wrongdoing by President Trump.
Domenech: Democrat Failure To Rebuke Antisemitism Puts Lives At Risk
Federalist Publisher and Fox News Contributor Ben Domenech said on “Special Report with Bret Baier” Thursday Democrats should approach the latest episode of antisemitism from Minnesota Rep. Ilham Omar with greater concern. On Monday, Omar ignited another feud within her party when she equated the United States and Israel with Hamas, a State Department-designated terrorist group, and the Taliban.
How H.R. 1 Would Massively Corrupt Elections Nationwide
H.R. 1, the grossly misnamed “For The People Act,” approaches its day on the Senate floor later this month. As that date approaches, it bears repeating: this legislative priority of congressional Democrats that seeks to permanently alter our elections is not only unconstitutional but wrong. Ultimately, the bill aims to serve only corrupt politicians in Washington, D.C. rather than the people it promises to support. The bill’s author, Rep.
Redistricting: Waiting to Hurry Up
U.S. Census Bureau headquarters, Suitland, Maryland. After months of delays, the Census Bureau released congressional apportionment data on April 26. The decennial release of apportionment data is a sign of America’s political times: It reveals how many seats in the House of Representatives—and, accordingly, how many presidential electors—each state will have for the coming decade.
Opinion | The Cares Act Blame Game Begins
‘I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here,” exclaimed police chief Captain Renault as he closed the bar where he had been betting in “Casablanca.” The same faux-shock is sweeping the political landscape, but this is no movie. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has fired off a strongly worded letter demanding an investigation of the Paycheck Protection Program.

Don McGahn: The other lawyer who saved Trump
WASHINGTON (AP) — Don McGahn was barely on speaking terms with President Donald Trump when he left the White House last fall. But special counsel Robert Mueller's report reveals the president may owe his former top lawyer a debt of gratitude. McGahn, who sat with Mueller for about 30 hours of interviews, emerged as a central character in Mueller's painstaking investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice and impeded the years-long Russia investigation.
