Republicans are one broken promise away from losing the House this November. If this happens, Americans can wave goodbye to the dream of “draining the swamp.” If the conservative base loses faith in a Congress led by Republicans, what few legislative victories Republicans managed to achieve will end. The bold agenda undertaken by President Trump will get bogged down by obstructionism from House Democrats. Divided government will once again rear its ugly head.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to reports that President Donald Trump is open to adding sentencing reforms to the prison reform bill, the FIRST STEP Act, Jason Pye, FreedomWorks Vice President of Legislative Affairs, commented:
WASHINGTON, D.C.-- FreedomWorks praises Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) for demanding more information about the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Quiet Skies program. The program allows undercover air marshals to track, monitor, and take notes on passengers deemed suspicious, and send this information to the administration.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In light of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation’s (DOT) proposed fuel economy standards, the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for MY 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented:
The Washington, D.C. area PBS affiliate has lately been airing a documentary titled “D.C. In the 90s.” An hour long, it’s a look back to what Washington was like during, well, the 1990s. That the city was rundown is a classic understatement. It’s also a digression.
WASHINGTON, D.C.-- In response to the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ report that US GDP growth exceeded 4.1 percent in quarter two of 2018, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented:
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, officially entered the race Thursday to become the next speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Now we can sit back and watch political pundits argue in circles over whether he has a legitimate path to become speaker if Republicans retain majority control of the House after the Nov. 6 midterm elections.
President Trump this morning tweeted, “Tariffs are the greatest!” He added that a country that he deems has “treated the United States unfairly” on trade should negotiate a fair deal or it will get hit with tariffs. “Remember, we are the ‘piggy bank’ that’s being robbed.”
WASHINGTON, D.C.-- FreedomWorks cheers Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R - Ohio) decision to enter the race for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Rep. Jordan announced his candidacy for Speaker in a dear colleague letter this morning.
