If good intentions created good laws, there would be no need for congressional debate. I have no doubt the authors of this bill genuinely want to protect children, but the bill they've written promises to be a Pandora's box of unintended consequences. The Kids Online Safety Act, known as KOSA, would impose an unprecedented duty of care on internet platforms to mitigate certain harms associated with mental health, such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. While proponents of the bill claim that the bill is not designed to regulate content, imposing a duty of care on internet platforms ...

Former Vice President Mike Pence is leading a new effort to convince federal lawmakers to address the spiraling national debt. The debt surpassed the $35 trillion threshold in late July, less than eight months after hitting the $34 trillion mark. The upward trend won't stop anytime soon: the Congressional Budget Office expects the debt to hit $56 trillion by 2034, at which point the debt will be 122 percent the size of the U.S. economy. With the country veering into uncharted and dangerous territory, Pence's newly launched nonprofit, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), is asking lawmakers to ste...

The year was 2007, the Iraq War was in full swing, and Congress was struggling to exercise its oversight. Despite a Democratic blowout in the midterm elections driven by public opposition to the war, then-president George W. Bush wanted to "surge" thousands more U.S. troops into Iraq. Democrats proposed a resolution condemning the plan. A freshman representative from Minnesota, a retired Army master sergeant named Tim Walz, stood up in support of the resolution. "Some have said that this debate sends a message to our enemies, and I would agree. The message our enemies are hearing this week is ...

Cinco senadores de los Estados Unidos y tres representantes de la Cámara han renovado sus llamados para que el regulador de materias primas prohíba las apuestas en las elecciones presidenciales de 2024. Afirmaron que tales mercados “podrían influir e interferir con las elecciones y erosionar aún más la confianza pública en la democracia” en una carta del 5 de agosto dirigida al presidente de la Comisión de Comercio de Futuros de Productos Básicos, Rostin Benham. “Permitir a los multimillonarios hacer apuestas extraordinarias mientras simultáneamente contribuyen a un candidato o partido específ...

Five United States Senators and three House representatives have renewed calls for the commodities regulator to ban betting on the 2024 presidential election. They claimed that such markets “could influence and interfere with elections and further erode public trust in democracy” in an Aug. 5 letter to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair, Rostin Benham. “Allowing billionaires to wager extraordinary bets while simultaneously contributing to a specific candidate or party, and political insiders to bet on elections using non-public information, will further degrade public trust in the ...

Democrats in Congress have reintroduced a bill that would revive the ability to sue federal law enforcement officers for constitutional violations like excessive force, following a series of Supreme Court decisions that have made it practically impossible to do so. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D–R.I.) and Reps. Hank Johnson (D–Ga.) and Jamie Raskin (D–Md.) reintroduced the Bivens Act in the Senate and House, respectively, this week. The legislation would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1871—a federal statute that allows people to sue the government for civil rights violations—to include federal offi...

Less than a month after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the agency that failed to protect him from harm may get a bigger budget. On July 13, when Thomas Matthew Crooks shot and wounded Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Secret Service agents sprang into action, heroically shielding him from further harm and escorting him from the stage. But subsequent reporting revealed that the incident was entirely preventable: Rally attendees alerted law enforcement to the presence of a suspicious person more than an hour before he started shooting, and they later s...
