  • Senator seeks full disclosure of Mueller report

    Transparency is the touchstone of our democracy. If no person, however powerful, is truly above the law, then no person should be permitted to conceal the results of such a critical national security investigation from public view.
  • Leveling the economic playing field for women worldwide
    The Women’s Entrepreneurship and Economic Empowerment (WEEE) Actis a strong bill that aims to help over one billion women who are left out of the formal financial system and to close the nearly $300 billion credit gap that exists for women-owned small and medium-sized businesses. A companion to the Boozman-Cardin bill has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives by voice vote.
  • Made in America
    Our American-made products, inventions, and businesses – both big and small – truly become icons of the cities or towns where they are located. They are part of the very fabric, history and identity of our communities.
  • The case for limited government
    Let’s get real here. What’s the alternative? We’re not going to do away with government, give unfettered free rein to the market, and hope that someone decides to try to make a go of delivering core services. Nor are we going to go all out and establish government ownership of the means of production.

  • Senator: Time to stop the Zika virus
    Zika is already here in Ohio, with 12 Ohioans having been diagnosed with it. Thus far, it looks like all of the Americans who have become infected did so either by traveling somewhere else and being bitten by a mosquito, or by sexual contact with someone who had Zika.

  • What a recent court ruling means for Obama’s climate change plan

    The D.C. Circuit’s surprising move to fast-track their review underscores the importance of the case. Now, all eyes are on the nomination for the next justice, who will likely cast the decisive vote as to whether the regulation will stand.

  • White House media manipulation
    There is a widespread view around here that our chief job is "to pass legislation." That is incorrect. Our main job – indeed the oath that we took – is to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution – which is about limited government and about the separation of powers. Our job is to ensure that the nation is well-governed, and that the public can have confidence that it is well-governed.

  • We don’t need a national zoning board
    A study by the Reason Foundation demonstrated that while the Community Development Block Grant program has been a boon for special interests and channeling taxpayer dollars to politically connected groups, it has been entirely unsuccessful in actually reducing poverty or housing segregation. The so-called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule would only continue the Community Development Block Grant program’s well-established track record of failure.

  • Ghost Stories: The movement on the move
    Ladies and gentlemen, as we left the year of our Lord 1874 last week, former New Vienna saloon owner John Calvin Van Pelt was in Hillsboro meeting with local temperance crusaders like Eliza Jane Trimble Thompson and many others.

  • Feeling the effect of the Obama economy
    If we continue on the path we’re on right now, we might be the first generation of Americans to leave the next generation worse off, but we don’t have to be. We can reverse the course the president has set during his administration and put in place the kind of policies that will grow our economy and lift the burdens on American families.
