Robert Aderholt Says a Report He and 12 Other Republicans We Track Requested Shows Taxpayers Are 'Subsidizing' Abortion. The Report Says Federal Subsidies Can't Pay for It.

Robert Aderholt, Speaker Mike Johnson and 11 other tracked Republicans requested a GAO review of abortion coverage in Obamacare plans. Aderholt and Chris Smith then used it to demand 'full Hyde protections for all ACA plans.' GAO's own summary says federal law already bars tax credits from paying for abortion, that insurers must price that coverage at no less than $1 a month, and that almost every plan that covers it is in a state whose law requires coverage.

Andy Harris Says Officials Who Block Deportations Should Be Prosecuted. He Also Talked the White House Into Bringing In 30,000 More Foreign Workers.

In Washington, the Freedom Caucus chairman wants sanctuary officials prosecuted and said a detained pastor from his own district was 'subject to deportation.'
