Newsom is now talking about appointing Oprah to the U.S. Senate. Seriously.  Of course, there is no Senate vacancy at the moment. But as Dianne Feinstein continues to miss votes for health reasons, members of her own party are pressuring her to resign – or not – depending on their political self-interest.  Pelosi reportedly wants her […]

This week, I addressed the House of Representatives on the collapse of one of the world’s most beautiful cities. You can watch the 15-minute speech here.  With Whole Foods, Nordstrom, T-Mobile, Saks, and Anthropologie all announcing their departure, San Francisco is in total free fall. My goal was to show the rest of the country

Next week, I am convening a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Workforce Protections titled “Biden’s War on Independent Contractors.” It will be my first hearing as Chairman. You can see our official release here and Bloomberg’s article on the hearing here. My aim is to show what’s in store for the country if California’s disastrous policies are nationalized

Biden has been rebuked by the courts again for overstepping his authority. A federal judge struck down his vaccine mandate for Head Start nationwide. The dominoes continue falling. On Tuesday, I called on all California universities to end their mandates, noting our institutions of “higher learning” are clinging to ignorance the longest. Stanford then ended

In his latest plea for attention, Gavin Newsom has started a PAC to fight “rising authoritarianism” in other states. The line between parody and reality has vanished entirely. I spoke on Fox News about this latest stunt from the Governor whose own pandemic policies were the most authoritarian in the country. And we now know

Our Resolution to end the national emergency has now passed the House and Senate, and Biden has begrudgingly agreed not to veto it. The COVID era is over at last. Sponsoring the Resolution was one of my first acts in Congress. It passed the House despite the “No” votes of 197 Democrats and a threatened Biden veto.

The Parents Bill of Rights has passed the House of Representatives, with the final bill incorporating my School Choice Amendment. This landmark legislation protects the right of parents to know what curriculum and reading materials schools are using, to control their child’s data and privacy, and to enroll in the school of their choice.  It

It was a rough week for Newsom. The Legislature rejected his gas tax. Two courts ruled against AB 5. And he cancelled his State of the State speech for lack of accomplishments. AB 5 is the reason I started calling Newsom America’s most corrupt Governor, even before his COVID self-coronation. And the enforcer of this

In recent days Biden has agreed to allow new energy production, reverse a reckless crime bill, and impose modest border restrictions. We set out to rein him in and are getting results. The President also agreed to my request for a Major Disaster Declaration for the storms in California. Of course, this was delayed as

Last week I wrote a letter to the Governor of California, asking the state to make a request for federal assistance to help victims of the ongoing storms. The letter was not addressed to Gavin Newsom. Instead, I had to send it to Acting Governor Eleni Kounalakis. Newsom had temporarily stepped down for a “personal”
