Democrats plan to use a special legislative process called reconciliation to ram through a radical liberal agenda with a simple majority. But doing so would require violating long-standing Senate rules and is simply ending the filibuster by another name. Here’s everything you need to know about the Democrats’ plans. What is reconciliation? Reconciliation is a special legislative process created by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which allows for quick...

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act (S. 251/ H.R. 426), introduced by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), would defend the aspirations and safety of female athletes by making it a federal crime under Title IX for anyone who receives federal funds and operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic programs to allow biological males to compete in athletic programs that are designated for women or girls.

Washington, DC—In response to a budget resolution being pushed by the Senate, Heritage Action for America issued the following statement from Executive Director Jessica AndersonUnder the guise of COVID relief, Congressional negotiators are beginning the budget reconciliation process, which they will use to push through a massive spending and bailout package.

The Senate is soon expected to vote on the confirmation of Neera Tanden to be Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). President Biden announced on November 30, 2020, that he would nominate Tanden to the post. She previously served as a senior adviser to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and currently serves as President and CEO of the Center for American Progress (CAP).

Washington — Today, the national grassroots conservative group Heritage Action for America announced a $600,000 campaign to oppose the confirmation of Xavier Becerra to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The campaign includes TV ads, digital ads, and a robust grassroots campaign. “Xavier Becerra has spent his entire career fighting for socialized health care, catering to the abortion industry, and trampling on Americans’ religious freedom,” said Heritage...

This week, the House will be considering H.R. 5, the “Equality Act.” This legislation would modify the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes in federal anti-discrimination law. Although titled the “Equality Act,” the policies within this bill would create more inequality and profoundly impact all Americans.

The Save Democracy Act (H.R. 322/S. 459), introduced by Representative Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.), would make common-sense, targeted reforms to federal election laws to reduce fraud and restore Americans’ confidence in our election system while respecting states’ sovereignty in the process.

This week, the House will be voting on H.R. 1319, a massive $1.9 trillion stimulus package that does little to address the ongoing pandemic directly. For nearly a year, conservatives have insisted that any COVID relief should be targeted and temporary without bailing out wasteful governments. This bill has missed the mark on all points.

This legislation would codify and expand amnesty granted by the Obama administration’s unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program by allowing so-called Dreamers (illegal aliens who came to the U.S. before the age of 18) and those illegally present who have been granted Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure to permanently avoid deportation, obtain a pathway to citizenship, and full voting rights. Do not let this legislation’s misleading...

This bill would ultimately provide amnesty by creating a new “certified agricultural worker” status for which only illegal immigrant agricultural workers would be eligible. To qualify for this new status, individuals must be here illegally, as the bill states eligible aliens must be “inadmissible or deportable from the United States on the date of the introduction of this Act.” Furthermore, once this status has been granted to an individual, their...

As Secretary of HHS, Xavier Becerra would be in charge of running the CDC, FDA, NIH, and other federal health agencies that continue to carry out the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes overseeing arguably the most important initiatives that the federal government is currently carrying out—distribution of COVID vaccines.

This legislation would require universal background checks for all firearm sales, including private sales, with specific exceptions. This is a misguided effort, as universal background checks would do little to prevent violence and would only make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to purchase, own, carry, and use a firearm.

This bill is composed of unconstitutional and ill-advised policy mandates that the Left would use to hijack America’s election processes. H.R. 1 is a very long, complex bill and is a liberal wish list of power-grabs ranging from institutional control and election “reforms” to campaign finance, lobbying, and judicial ethics.

This week, the House will vote on H.R. 1, the “For The People Act.” Lawmakers should not let this legislation’s misleading name fool them—it is composed of unconstitutional and ill-advised policy mandates that the Left would use to hijack America’s election processes. H.R. 1 is a very long, complex bill and is a liberal wish list of power-grabs ranging from institutional control and election “reforms” to campaign finance, lobbying, and...
