Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, is a communist and Marxist and refers to her as “Comrade Kamala.” While it’s doubtful that Trump’s name calling helps him win over voters, if he has to call her something, he should have tagged her as a socialist. That’s because Harris’s major policy proposals are almost identical to those promoted by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
The DSA lists 10 policy positions under t...

Reps. Ben Cline (R-Va.), 52, and August Pfluger (R-Texas), 46, are seeking the chairmanship for the group in the next Congress — a position that has historically served as a launching pad for Republicans into higher positions.
In interviews with The Hill, and in pitch...

Democrats eager to fight Vance over ObamaCare rollback
Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said he wants to roll back ObamaCare’s protections for people with preexisting conditions, reopening a fight that’s repeatedly burned Republicans in the past — and one Democrats are eager to have.
During a campaign rally in North Carolina on Wednesday, Vance described a plan to remove federal regulations from the health care system but still ensure people get the coverage they need.
“We're gonna actually imp...

Moskowitz swipes after Comer says to take medication: ‘We know who’s taking more’
House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) traded personal swipes over who takes more medication after Moskowitz attacked Comer’s leadership of the committee.
The exchange came during an Oversight panel hearing titled “A Legacy of Incompetence: Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Policy Failures.”
Moskowitz used his time during the hearing, though, to criticize Comer, particularly the impeach...
Harris’s ‘Opportunity Society’ is in the shadow of LBJ’s War on Poverty
Vice President Kamala Harris has touted an economic vision for America called the “Opportunity Society.” The agenda harkens back to the days when presidents distinguished policies with slogans like the “New Deal” of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the “New Frontier” of John F. Kennedy.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty”; as such, it is appropriate to consider how the Harris plan for economic reform compares with that of an earlier Democratic...
