And they awarded competence. We ran on the infrastructure bill, the CHIPS Act, the Rescue Plan, and that frame worked in our direction....

In his post-election victory speech Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) was pleased to see that many parents seeking seats on local school boards were winning their races. "We are putting parents back in charge of their kids' education," he gleefully observed. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) disagreed, saying that "letting parents have a say in their children's education is just stupid.

Most of the parents running for school...

This week President Biden announced that the first piece of legislation that he will ask Congress to enact in 2023 is "a bill restoring the nationwide right to an abortion that was illegally undone by the Supreme Court this year. The notion that each state should be allowed to decide for itself whether to permit or restrict this sacred right is the kind of disunity that I pledged to eradicate when I took my oath of office in January of 2021. We simply cannot not abide different rights in different states." "Not only should every woman everywhere be allowed to...

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell drew fire from Republicans after he released a new ad claiming the GOP wants women to get arrested for having abortions.

Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) called DeSantis "soulless. Martha's Vineyard is a place of refuge for this country's elite. Former President Obama has property there. Spike Lee, David Letterman, and Carly Simon all own houses on the island. Hell, it's the place where Sen. Ted Kennedy narrowly escaped...

Ron DeSantis (R) is “soulless” for sending illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard. The Democrat began by admitting there is a major issue on the southern border.

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) declared Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump “is going into a season of legal reckoning.” Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said, “The evidence since your case was filed has developed very much in your favor. Including much of what we heard in the January 6 committee from people who actually attack the Capital, saying on video that Donald Trump sent them there to do that. That is your essence of your lawsuit.”

Establishment Republicans are a middling lot who have attained and retained their side of the Capitol Hill power dynamic by ostensibly doing the least amount of work to further the agenda of the right while acting like a sieve against the unrelenting pressure of their progressive opposition. So, as the RINOs of the party slide toward the left courtesy of the Overton Window, it only seems appropriate that, where Democrats so often have their own past statements raised to dispute their current posturing, Republican leaders would get slammed for straying from conservative values by a gun-grabbing ideologue. In 2019, Rep....
