Committee on House Administration Ranking Member Rodney Davis has announced the introduction of the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act, a response to the radical elections legislation congressional Democrats have attempted (unsuccessfully) to pass.

It’s time for Republicans in Congress to meet the moment and start leading on election policy.

Today RM @RodneyDavis is introducing the #ACEAct, comprehensive legislation to restore election integrity, build voter confidence & protect free speech. https://t.co/sJ0XhRbFnf

While they still have the chance, Senate Democrats are ramping up efforts to trample the First Amendment rights of nonprofits and their donors through the DISCLOSE Act. As RNLA highlighted last week, the DISCLOSE Act would cause many more problems than it solves. A letter submitted to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration on Monday by People United for Privacy (PUFP) serves to debunk many of the misleading arguments made by proponents of the legislation during a hearing held by the Committee last week. PUFP's main points are as follows:

Last week, Congressman and New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin was attacked while giving a campaign speech. Zeldin, who was ironically giving a speech about bail reform during the attack, predicted that the assailant would be released. Unfortunately, this prediction came true. (The attacker was subsequently arrested again after federal charges were filed.)

A man tried to assassinate @RepLeeZeldin with a knife. Thankfully, Lee is safe, but his attacker is already released back on the streets.

Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies are outrageous, but since Lee is a Republican, the media will largely ignore the attack.

On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris used a speaking engagement at the National Urban League Conference to push the Democrats' tired talking points about election laws in Republican states. Categorically, her statements were deliberately misleading at worst and misinformed at best.

In typical fashion during yesterday's Senate Rules Committee hearing on "dark money" and the DISCLOSE Act (S.B. 443), Democrats tried to tie Republicans to dark money while turning a blind eye to the millions of dollars annually given to Democrats by liberal dark money groups.  

But unfortunately for Senator Whitehouse (who brings this bill up each session), one of the Democrat witnesses, Director of the Brennan Center for Justice Elections and Government Program Daniel Weiner, admitted that "Democratic and other left-leaning groups had swamp[ed] Republican and conservative spenders by a more than 2-1 ratio" in 2020.  

Sitting at the right hand of the Chief Justice and celebrating over thirty years on the U.S. Supreme Court as an Associate Justice, Clarence Thomas is a familiar figure to the public - lauded by those who respect the Constitution, hated by those who disagree with the results - but his personal story is not as well-known. The landmark decisions issued by the Court  this term (including  New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, and West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency) confirm that this is indeed the era of the "Thomas Court." 

Drawing on historical documents and exclusive interviews, the authors, Mark Paoletta and Michael Pack, tell the inspiring story of Clarence Thomas's rise from a childhood of poverty and prejudice in the segregated South to Supreme Court Justice. Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words provides the full story behind the recent blockbuster documentary of Justice Thomas' life.

There's a new sheriff in town. Well, at least, district attorney. Following the ouster of Chesa Boudin in a June 7, 2022 recall election, the newly-appointed San Francisco District Attorney, Brooke Jenkins, has fired fifteen career prosecutors within eight days of her appointment. Her predecessor's progressive policies on crime and safety had made San Francisco a no-go area for locals and visitors alike, and the first actions of the incoming D.A. were clearly intended to try to restore public confidence in her office and the city.

The far left’s efforts to intimidate, harass, and even do harm to Supreme Court justices have taken another nasty turn: 

A group offering bounty payments for sightings of conservative Supreme Court justices is the latest harassment campaign prompting Republican lawmakers to call for immediate action by the Justice Department.

While it is definitely the right thing to do to protect Supreme Court justices and all judges, it may also be what the law demands:

While Democrats wanted to fight over whether men can get pregnant in today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, “A Post-Roe America: The Legal Consequences of the Dobbs Decision,” Republicans focused on the importance of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and how it restores the democratic process.
