We expect our congressional representatives to not offend our allies, such as Israel. It would appear that Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D-Minn.), a freshman congresswoman, didn't get that memo. In late May 2018, conservative writer John Gilmore, @Shabbosgoy on Twitter, found an old tweet of Omar's he thought was offensive to Jews. ...

Rep. Ilhan Omar argues that American “democracy is built on debate,” tweeting, “I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on committee.” I’m sure no decent person disagrees with her comment.

A restive group of newcomers. Baffled party leaders. Fiery conversations behind closed doors that spill into public view and threaten to upend legislation. After a wrenching week for Democrats, it's hard not to wonder: Does Speaker Nancy Pelosi have a tea party problem? Emboldened by their ability to seize the spotlight and ...

The florid Green New Deal proposed by newly elected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has been widely panned by critics on both the right and the left–but perhaps most notably by Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. What many critics of the deal fail to note, however, is that the supposed ...

Sen. Kamala Harris thinks that prostitution should be legal.  Prostitution, the California Democrat said in a recent interview with The Root, are relations based on consent, and “when you are talking about consenting adults, I think that … we can’t criminalize consensual behavior, as long as no one is being harmed.”  A grocer ...

Amid oil embargoes, gas lines, terrorist threats, and foreign powers colluding to fix oil prices, a bipartisan consensus emerged on energy. Presidents with otherwise differing views, from Barack Obama to George W. Bush to Bill Clinton, all agreed that the United States should realize its own energy potential. Today, we are nearly ...

Wow. $22 trillion. Let that huge number sink in. It’s the gross national debt reported Monday by the Treasury Department. The question is, now that we have crossed this inauspicious threshold, will Congress finally get serious about changing the nation’s budget course?

“Everyone is entitled to his own opinion but not to his own facts.” That pithy observation is attributed to the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who served in the Senate from 1977 to 2001. The final two years of Moynihan’s stint in the Senate overlapped the first two years of that of his ...
