Congress

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.

On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held its first hearing of the new Congress with Attorney General Merrick Garland. It was a rock-em, sock-em grilling by Senate Republicans, but NPR fervently avoided a story on it. But they found time for a four-minute story on a man setting a Guinness World Record for Disneyland visits, and eight minutes on "how curry took over the world."

Julio Rosas at Townhall reports that C-SPAN is showing a pro-Democrat bias. They failed to cover a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the border crisis February 23 in Yuma, Arizona because Democrats skipped it. But in 2019, they showed an all-Democrat hearing by Maxine Waters in Los Angeles.

The House Select Committee on China held its first hearing Tuesday night on the rising threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party as its seeks to grow its foreign influence and reach global supremacy. The hearing was extremely bipartisan, but despite that rare example of Congress working together, Disney-owned ABC’s Good Morning America chose to stay in the good graces of the…

On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee held its first official congressional field hearing in Yuma, Arizona on the crisis at the southern border. The GOP members of the committee showed up to hear testimony from Border Patrol agents and other members of the community who have been negatively affected by the Biden administration's refusal to secure the southern border. Every Democrat member…

The cackling coven of ABC’s The View was outraged on Wednesday after news broke that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave Fox News host Tucker Carlson all 44,000 hours of footage from January 6. The gaggling gals were off the rails from the get-go with accusations that Carlson was a security risk who would reveal “evacuation points,” “safe rooms,” and security camera locations which…

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has launched an investigation into the censorship operations of Big Tech platforms, including Google, Meta, Twitter, TikTok and others.

New York Times reporter Steven Lee Myers -- a journalist -- nevertheless sees free speech as a threat to whatever a Democratic administration declares is "disinformation," in a front-page article Friday, featuring the online title “Free Speech vs. Disinformation Comes to a Head.” Myers even suggested democracy could fall without Big Tech exercising proper censorship…

The term RINO (Republican in Name Only) doesn’t begin to describe the faux conservatives of ABC’s The View: Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro. During an interview with Democratic New York Senator Chuck Schumer on Monday, the co-hosts decried the idea of him working with Republicans in the House because it would be “elevating extremists,” and urged him to kill the filibuster in the…

The New York Times is doing its best to minimize the controversy over Twitter’s squelching of conservative opinion during the Trump-COVID era, as shown by its weird coverage of a House Committee hearing on the social media platform’s biased behavior and pressure from government agencies to push the company to censor conservative speech. In Thursday’s paper, Luke Broadwater and Kate…
