The Food and Drug Administration strongly…

On Tuesday, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will surpass Thomas Jefferson as the longest-serving party leader in Senate history. At 80 years old, McConnell will continue to serve as the Republican minority leader in the 118th Congress, making his tenure as party head more extended than that of the late Senator Mike Mansfield, who led the Democrats from 1961 until 1977.

For the first time in his tenure as leader, McConnell was rejected by his party’s members, indicating that…

Under Senate Bill 1327, the statute of limitations for actions involving gun manufacturers who create firearms in violation of California’s “assault weapons” prohibition and the age-21 limit on handgun sales would expire on January 1, 2023. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, legal action is seen by supporters of the legislation as a means to “enlist an army of grass-roots enforcers” to defend the state’s “assault weapons” prohibition and minimum age restriction. Therefore, the Texas heartbeat Act takes into effect after the sixth week of pregnancy, making it possible for parents to sue abortion facilities if their child’s unborn…
