A tough stretch for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., got worse Tuesday when she watched members of her party vote for a bill she attacked at the expense of widespread mockery. Ocasio-Cortez's viral rant against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act wasn't enough to convince Democratic allies Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, both of Texas, to vote against the bill. Cuellar and Gonzalez joined 218 House Republicans who voted for the bill that seeks to prevent federally funded educational institutions from allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls and women's sports. For Ocasio-Cortez, the notion of Democratic congressmen...

The Democratic Party continues to put the well-being of criminal illegal aliens above the safety of the American people. This morning, the House of Representatives passed a commonsense bill called H.R. 30, the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.). The legislation amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to enhance restrictions on illegals who have committed serious felonies, especially those against women, children, or related to sexual offenses. Under the bill, these aliens would not be permitted to enter America and would be deported if they committed a sex offense. These include domestic...

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina has established herself as a flawed-yet-principled advocate for women. Meanwhile, former Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, who served as Social Security Commissioner for less than a year under President Joe Biden and whom extreme political junkies might remember as an obscure Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, has exposed himself as the latest in a long line of cowardly and spiritually corrupt woke leftists who cannot, or will not, explain the difference between a man and a woman. On Wednesday, at a hearing of the House Oversight Committee focused on the stay-at-home federal...

A bill preventing transgender women from competing in female sports at schools across the country narrowly cleared the House of Representatives Tuesday. Just two Democrats joined with 216 Republicans in voting for the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which states that schools receiving federal funds would violate the law if they “permit a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.” All 206 “nay” votes came from Democrats. Rep. Don Davis (D-NC) voted “present” while a pair of Texans, Henry Cuellar and Vincente Gonzalez bucked...

The US House of Representatives passed its first bill in the 119th Congress on Tuesday, voting in favor of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act - ensuring only people assigned female at birth can participate in women and girls athletics. The revolutionary act received a 218-206 vote as all Republicans voted in its favor along with just two Democrats, Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez. North Carolina Representative Don Davis, a...

The new Republican-controlled 119th House of Representatives, convened Friday, has already fast tracked a bill that would ban men in women’s sports. The bill was moved forward as part of the 119th rules package, which allowed 12 bills “on a glide path to a vote on the House floor without allowing for hearings or amendments, by limiting debate, and waiving all the other chamber rules,” GovTrack reported. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act was reintroduced Friday by U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, a Florida Republican, along with 56 Republican cosponsors. “This legislation allows women and girls a fair...
