Congress

Multiple congressmen from both parties are calling to target or ban TikTok after the popular app’s CEO Shou Zi Chew testified to Congress.

Ahead of Thursday’s House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing featuring TikTok CEO Shou Chew, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC had their flagship morning news shows spouting off tales of possible despair and financial ruin from TikTok influencers the Chinese-owned social media app paid to fly to Washington to appear as props.

Late Monday, President Biden relented and signed into law a resolution (passed unanimously in Congress) ordering the director of national intelligence to declassify what’s known about the origins of COVID-19. But, predictably, the liberal media weren’t entirely on board as Tuesday’s CBS Mornings ignored this story and instead featured segments such as a creepy and flirty bit with co-…

House Republicans have passed a bill that would prevent federal government officials from putting pressure on tech platforms to censor.

One congressional Democrat seemed unprepared for the response she received after she implied that Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi wasn’t really a journalist. "This isn't just a matter of what data was given to these so-called journalists before us," House Ranking member Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) said at last week's Twitter…

Congress used its constitutional authority to override a Washington, D.C. local crime bill that would have reduced penalties for murder, armed robbery, and sexual assault. Lisa Desjardins, the PBS NewsHour’s congressional reporter, who generally plays it fairly straight, definitely took a side in her Wednesday evening coverage of the controversial bill, which was overturned by a heavy…

The liberal broadcast networks love to throw around the term “historic” to praise legislative actions by Democrats. But since Wednesday, the network turned a blind eye to Congressional Republicans and Democrats coming together for the first time in 30 years to slap down a local D.C. law that would go soft on crime by reducing sentences for some violent crimes, including ones for guns. But…

Jan. 6 was, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer explained that the riot of Jan. 6 was a "violent insurrection." And in order to preserve democracy, Schumer stated, Fox News should take Tucker Carlson off the air. What, pray tell, did Carlson do that merited the Senate Majority…

Republican lawmakers and self-professed liberal journalist testifiers bashed Big Tech coordination with "weaponized government" while Democrat lawmakers attacked the testifiers at a congressional hearing Thursday. 

On Thursday, the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing on the bombshell Twitter Files and the implication of the government colluding with Big Tech to censor free speech. The lively hearing featured two of the Twitter Files authors, Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi. And throughout, Democrats tried to demean their work and lambaste the free press…

A new proposed bill in the Senate would make it easier for the president to ban the pro-censorship, Chinese Communist government-tied app TikTok.

The New York Times tried turning the screws on Republican members of Congress who are adamant about President Joe Biden agreeing to spending cuts before the debt ceiling is raised...yet again.

A Republican bill joining President Joe Biden’s efforts to ban TikTok advanced in a committee vote this week, and one House Democrat, in particular, doesn’t appear happy about it.

The congressional investigation into Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) mostly escaped any mention on the nation’s network evening news. Except for Telemundo, which broke ranks with their counterparts by giving viewers a full, succinct account of the ethics investigation into AOC.
