NEW YORK — I recently was delighted to sue New York City’s Board of Elections. In conjunction with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, co-plaintiffs Phyllis Coachman, Anthony Gilhuys, Katherine James, and I filed suit in New York Supreme Court on Feb. 2. We aim to overturn City Charter Chapter 46-A, which our litigation dubs “the…
For many Americans, buying a home is one of their greatest financial goals. And the health of the economy is tied directly to our ability to purchase real estate, says Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C. “So goes housing, so goes the economy,” Norman says. “The reason that is, you have over 130 trades [involved], from the…
A new lawsuit is accusing the Department of the Air Force and the U.S. Space Force of punishing a reservist for speaking out against the "enforcement tactics" of those he says are quashing courage and truth within the military. Space Force reservist Jace Yarbrough delivered remarks in uniform in early 2021 at the retirement ceremony…
During the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., and conservative commentator Micheal Knowles spoke out against anti-Catholic bias and how it undermines America as “one nation under God.” In his keynote address, Knowles argued that while American Catholics are no strangers to bigotry, he sees troubling clouds gathering…
If McDonald’s told its employees that it was unacceptable to diss its fast food as gross, disgusting or unhealthy at either McDonald’s or in a public setting, would it elicit a heated reaction from lawmakers? Probably not. So why are lawmakers getting involved in a Catholic bishop’s decision to tell diocesan employees he expected them…
For more than a half-century, it has become abundantly clear that our nation faces increasing irreconcilable differences. At the root is the fact that there is one group of Americans who mostly want to be left alone and live according to the rule of law and the dictates of the U.S. Constitution, while another group…
When Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas in late August, local churches, synagogues, and mosques were there to help. Despite suffering major damage themselves, houses of worship provided aid to their local communities and volunteered as staging grounds for private emergency response nonprofits and for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. When the storm was finally…
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard opted not to run for reelection to a fifth term in Congress and will be leaving office when the 116th Congress adjourns this week, but the Hawaii Democrat will be missed. That’s because Gabbard is one of the few remaining voices of moderation in her increasingly left-wing party in Congress. Her recent sponsorship…
Democrats have twice impeached Donald Trump in the House and twice failed to convict him in the Senate. They’re angry about failing, and double angry about failing twice. That’s understandable. Nobody likes to fail. But they’ve now fallen into the trap of letting their anger get the better of their reason and their oaths to uphold…
As the attacks on Sen. Tommy Tuberville escalated this week, the Alabama Republican appeared even more determined to undo a new Defense Department policy allowing U.S. military and their family members to obtain taxpayer-funded abortions. Speaking on the Senate floor Wednesday, Tuberville rebuffed yet another Democrat attempt to unanimously approve nearly 200 promotions for military…
Opponents of foreign funding of U.S. ballot measures expect momentum at both the federal level and in states. In May, the House Administration Committee advanced a bill to amend federal election law to prevent foreign nationals from contributing to ballot initiatives by closing a loophole, since federal law and most state laws prohibit foreign contributions…
We’ve had an avalanche of hot takes since Renee Good was shot in Minneapolis by federal agents. But there should be no “hot” takes. There should be cold reasoning—about how we got here and how we avoid things getting worse. “Hot” indicates anger, a lack of control, lack of thought. That’s what we saw from…
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Transgender activists tried to hound a Georgia real estate agent out of business because the realtor urged a public library to move a sexually explicit book out of the children's section. When she sued, the judge dismissed her case. Now, the Georgia Court of Appeals has taken up her case and…
President Donald Trump plans to ask Congress to rescind the funds it appropriated for public broadcasting, which is a good start in defunding NPR and PBS. The legislative branch must do that and then move to dissolve the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Rescission deals with the immediate. It applies instant pain to the public broadcasters because Congress would claw back…
It’s not every day that good news comes out of Congress, but last week the United States Senate made firm progress on tax reform that included a strong bipartisan message that the final legislation must include real tax relief for working families. Make no mistake: Any tax reform legislation that is produced this year will…
For the second time in three years, Arizona lawmakers have strengthened laws protecting free speech on public college campuses. In 2016, state lawmakers banned so-called “free speech zones” on public university campuses, and on Wednesday, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation that protects individuals’ rights to demonstrate on campus. It also prohibits a school from…
As the battle over critical race theory heats up around the country, it’s important to examine the thinkers who have done the most to launch the woke revolution on our elite institutions. Two figures show up more than anyone else. One is Ibram X. Kendi, director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University…
Next Tuesday, voters in many states will weigh in on several election integrity-related referenda. Some are good changes that would improve election integrity; others are bad and would make elections in those states less secure; and one is downright ugly—written in a way intended to fool voters. The good ballot measures include: Arizona Proposition 309, which…
The FBI needs to be fixed, because it has become a threat to the fundamental liberties of Americans, Steve Bradbury of The Heritage Foundation argues in a lengthy new white paper released this week. “The liberty of the American people is under threat from politicized national security agencies, exemplified by the abuses of the Federal…
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei praised pro-Palestinian protesters across American college campuses for being “on the right side of history” in an open letter Wednesday to university students. In an X post, Khamenei said college protesters “have begun an honorable struggle” against the American government, which “openly supports Zionists.” He encouraged American students to “become familiar with the…
