Alternate title: When Liberals Put Partisan Politics Over Support For Women’s Equality. Alternate alternate title: I Don’t Remember This Concern Over Democrat Spending. Real title: don’t forget to turn the coffee pot on, dummy. Sorry, that was a note to self: Women’s bathroom in House: $200K Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner’s idea to build a women’s bathroom […]

I can just picture Nancy P. stomping her ruby slippers and screaming “they can’t do this!!!!1!!!!” Republicans will eliminate the House committee created by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to highlight the threat of climate change, Representative James Sensenbrenner, the top Republican on the panel, said today.

Yet, he goes out with a whimper and some of that ole Obama style cluelessness Rep. Dan Maffei (D-N.Y.) conceded to his GOP challenger Tuesday afternoon, giving Republicans their 63rd pickup in the House. He trailed Republican candidate Ann Marie Buerkle by 567 votes in a race that has been too close to call. Lawyers […]

You remember Fred, right? He’s the Republican that pushed through legislation to ban most incandescent light bulbs. Now, though Rep. Fred Upton told E2 Thursday that he would not steer a sweeping energy measure through the panel if he becomes chairman. 

That would be a sharp contrast to current Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), who moved […]

The setup U.S. agencies and officials would get new powers to go after foreign websites that sell counterfeit goods and pirated music, movies and books under a bill passed on Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill, which supporters hope will set the stage for action next year, targets “rogue websites” in countries such […]

With all the issues going on regarding the Transportation Security Administration, you just knew someone had to come up with some sort of legislation. And the winner is…..RON PAUL! Mr. Speaker, today I introduce legislation to protect Americans from physical and emotional abuse by federal Transportation Security Administration employees conducting screenings at the nation’s airports.
