The Stop Insider Trading Act Passed the House. Then Democrats Killed It.
Earlier this year, I wrote an opinion piece for The Daily Signal after Heritage Action issued support for the Stop Insider Trading Act as the bill gained steam on Capitol Hill.

LA’s ‘mansion tax’ backfires spectacularly as thousands of homes and jobs vanish…
A damning new report says the tax, officially known as United to House LA, or ULA — has had a negative impact on the city’s high-end and multi-family real estate markets and collected less than half what it was expected to generate to tackle the city’s housing crisis.

Congressional Republicans have a plan for states that seize children from their homes and won’t return runaways based on their parents’ refusal to treat them as the opposite sex or provide them medicalized gender transitions: withhold their federal funding and strip their ability to serve as sanctuary states for so-called gender-affirming care for kids.
543 – The State of our Civics Education
I started The Constitution Study in 2014 because of a study that showed most Americans don’t know the rights protected by the First Amendment. A recent study by the Annenberg Public Policy Center shows that while things may be better where the First Amendment is concerned, our overall civics education is pretty bad.
Washington keeps solving the wrong problems
