During his first full week in office, Biden signed an executive order aimed at making climate change a central focus in the creation and oversight of U.S. policy domestically and abroad. The executive order also mandated a pause on all new oil and natural gas leases on public lands or in offshore waters until the secretary of the Interior completes a thorough review of federal oil and gas.

It's amazing how quickly Democrats erected – and yes, that's the right word, Chuck Schumer – a wall around the U.S. Capitol building following January's riot. New victims of illegal aliens are created every day but Congress can't be bothered to fund a wall on the border.

House Republicans seek to oust Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a member of the so-called "Squad."

A new amendment proposed by a number of GOP House members called for Omar's removal from her committee assignments "in light of conduct she has exhibited."

The amendment was backed by a number of Republican representatives, which included Brian Babin (R-Texas), Jody Hice (R-Ga.) and Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.). These representatives cited the Minnesota lawmaker's anti-semitic comments made back in 2019, which received massive backlash from both sides of the aisle.
