Eight months into their control of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hasn't missed many opportunities to draw a stark contrast between the two parties' policies.
For once, Democrats and Republicans finally agree on something — Tuesday's impeachment hearing was a mess.
So what if your doctor doesn't know how to treat your pain? At least he can tell you about your carbon footprint.
A lot of our calendars skip right by it. There aren't fireworks or parades, barbeques or days off work. But September 17th still matters — whether we realize it or not. It's the day we laid the keystone of American freedom and exceptionalism: the U.S. Constitution.
The last place anyone would expect liberals to rethink their extremism is New York City. But, thanks to a new lawsuit, even the Big Apple seems to understand when it's vulnerable.
They call the Senate the "deliberative body" – and it's been deliberate all right.
"If this isn't bias, what is?" Good question — one that Facebook had better be prepared to answer. If they don't, at least four senators are about to make life difficult for more than CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Yesterday, I was on Capitol Hill at 8:46 a.m. when the bells tolled, surrounded by congressional staffers too young to remember the events that occurred 18 years ago.
It's not every day that you see the GOP caucus conducting business in the House visitors center. But yesterday wasn't just any day. It wasn't just a defining moment for the Republican party but the Democratic party as well.
Let's hope the August recess was a relaxing one, because conservative lawmakers will need every last ounce of energy to fight the onslaught of bad bills waiting for them in the House.
"Your stupid boycotts will never make a dent in a company like P&G," one liberal scoffed back in January. Turns out, they didn't just make a dent.

Nobody goes to the playgrounds anymore. They're abandoned — except for the gangs. "You saw them selling drugs, right there," reporter Lawrence Jones said, fuming.
To some people, they're just four words. To leaders like South Dakota's Phil Jensen, they're a lifeline for today's kids. In a world as violent and polarized as ours, if there was ever a time to put a simple reminder like "In God We Trust" before students, some states think, it's now.
Banks aren't usually the ones making the withdrawals — but politics seems to have changed that.
"I was 17... I finally started on testosterone gel, later switching to injections. It was a huge thing when my voice broke, and my figure started changing -- my hips narrowed, my shoulders broadened. It felt right. Passing as a man, I felt safer in public places, I was taken more seriously when I spoke, and I felt more confident. Then I had chest surgery. It was botched, and I was left with terrible scarring. I was traumatized. For the first time, I asked myself, 'What am I doing?'"
"Finally, Washington sort of agrees on something," the New Yorker half-joked. "Mueller bombed." After 124 days of waiting, "painful" doesn't begin to describe the disjointed spectacle of former special counsel Robert Mueller's House hearing.
For all the talk that Republicans and Democrats don't see eye to eye, there is one place where they agree: spending. And lots of it. Sure, there are some Hill conservatives who will raise a ruckus and mean it — but the appetite for real reform is gone. And this week's debt deal proves it.
