Update: Yesterday, Senator Ted Cruz asked for unanimous consent to immediately consider the House-passed Continuing Resolution (CR) without any amendments. As a reminder, this CR funds the government, takes steps to avoid a default on government debt in light of the looming debt ceiling, and defunds ObamaCare. Senator Reid denied this request.

Continue reading →Your Senators will be voting at 5:30 (ET) today on a bill that in all likelihood they have not read! The Schumer-Corker-Hoeven amendment is nothing but a fig leaf that promises strong border security but is full of loopholes to ensure the border never gets secured. It does not fix any of the problems in the underlying Gang of Eight bill, in fact, it adds to the cost and only makes the bill worse.

When a state joins the National Popular Vote Agreement (NPV), it does not matter who the people in the state vote for, their state’s electors will be forced to vote for the presidential candidate who has been ”designated” as the national popular vote winner. The winner does not have to have a majority but just a simple “‘plurality,” which could be as low as 15-30%.
