The 118th Congress is now fully underway, and the change of control of the House of Representatives is on full display.

That was followed quickly by the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act that… Read more »
I think most of America would agree the IRS could use some lessons in efficiency. As with most government agencies, it’s riddled with red tape and bureaucracy. The pandemic put a spotlight on its shortcomings with field offices closing down for months while Missourians waited for their tax returns that went untouched for far too long. Many people are still having issues with their taxes… Read more »

To say it was a chaotic week in the House of Representatives would be quite an understatement. I’m sure it has been frustrating to watch, and I assure you it has been very frustrating to be a part of. The last time the House held multiple Speaker votes was 100 years ago in 1923. In 1856 it… Read more »
As we head into a new year, I find it’s always productive to reflect on what worked, and what could be done differently moving forward for the next twelve months. 2022 had its fair share of ups and downs, but a new year brings a new beginning and a clean slate.
