This week, the House will be voting on H.R. 3755, the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA). This proposal would entrench unfettered access to abortion in federal law. Despite claims from the Left that this proposal simply codifies Roe v. Wade—which would already be far too permissive— if enacted, the WHPA would endanger essentially all state-level abortion restrictions, existing state and federal conscience protection laws, and policies limiting taxpayer funding for...

This week, the House will be voting on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684), the so-called “bipartisan” infrastructure package. The legislation recklessly spends $1 trillion, despite the fact that the national debt is approaching $30 trillion and inflation is surging to levels not seen in 13 years, all of which is “paid” for by using slick accounting tricks. Not only is the deal bad policy, but it is...

This piece was originally published on TheHill.com Democrats are working to remake America, and they’re using our tax dollars to do it. From cradle to grave, the Democrats’ $3,500,000,000,000 reconciliation bill will control how Americans live their lives and advance government control more than any bill since LBJ. Worse, the bill will subsidize the lives of coastal elites while forcing working- and middle-class Americans to foot the bill. The top...

WASHINGTON — Today, Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson released a statement following the news that Senate Democrats are considering nuking the filibuster to suspend the debt ceiling to pay for their multitrillion-dollar spending bill.

As many states across the country are passing election integrity efforts to instill confidence in the electoral process—making it easy to vote and hard to cheat—something very different has been going on in Washington. Joe Biden and Democrat leadership in the House and Senate have pushed several bills in 2021 that would not only extinguish the efforts of the states, but federalize our elections and rig the rules in the...

WASHINGTON — Heritage Action, a national conservative grassroots organization, released the following statement from Executive Director Jessica Anderson following the failed party-line vote in the Senate to advance to S. 2747, the ‘Freedom to Cheat’ Act.

Whitmer's veto of SB 303, SB 304, and HB 5007, three bills aimed at securing Michigan’s elections.

Our national debt, which is approaching $30 trillion, is already on an unsustainable path, and yet this bill would add trillions of dollars to that amount. Many of the included programs receive partial funding—creating temporary benefits that are clearly intended to be made permanent. This means that the cost estimates for the bill will only reveal a portion of the true price tag. Additionally, these gimmicks will set up future...

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684), the so-called “bipartisan” infrastructure package, recklessly spends $1 trillion, despite the fact that the national debt is approaching $30 trillion and inflation is surging to levels not seen in 13 years, all of which is “paid” for by using slick accounting tricks.

H.R. 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, is yet another blatant effort by liberals to give left-wing activists new powers to undermine the integrity of our election laws. With H.R. 4, liberals will use the power of the federal government to overturn voter ID laws and prevent states from ensuring the integrity of their own elections. Essentially, the proposal hijacks the Voting Rights Act (VRA) by replacing the...
