Deep dives
The Border Crisis and Legislative Efforts
Congressman Ken Buck discusses the ongoing border crisis and the efforts made by Republicans to highlight the issue. While it is unlikely that any legislative package will be passed due to Senate opposition, the goal is to inform the American people about the extent of the crisis and hold the Biden administration accountable for abandoning effective border policies.
Suppression of Information and IRS Actions
The report of federal agents meeting with Twitter to suppress information and subsequent IRS actions against reporter Matt Taibbi are concerning. While there is limited information available, there are calls for the IRS to address the coincidental nature of these events and explain their actions.
The Delayed Trump Indictment and Potential Congressional Inquiry
The delayed grand jury proceedings related to a potential indictment of Donald Trump by the New York DA has drawn attention. Although it is unusual for prosecutors to answer questions about ongoing investigations, some Republicans in Congress may seek to invite DA Alvin Bragg for questioning to shed light on the case and address concerns about a weak indictment against a former president.
Banning TikTok and Data Security
Congressman Buck and Senator Hawley propose banning TikTok due to concerns about data security and the ownership of the platform by China. TikTok, a popular social media app, collects personal information from users, which could potentially be accessed by the Chinese Communist Party. The aim is to ensure that such sensitive data is stored securely and not accessible to foreign entities.
