H.Res.1436 has five resolved clauses. Four are about Lindsey Graham and an ugly social media post. The fifth endorses the House Republicans' campaign against Sharia law — the same panic Van Duyne started in Irving eleven years ago.
Oklahoma's congresswoman filed H.Con.Res.43 to declare that the national anthem must be sung in English. It has no force of law, it never got a vote — and the Spanish version she's objecting to was commissioned by the U.S. State Department in 1945.
Oklahoma already banned Sharia law once. A federal appeals court threw it out as unconstitutional. Now Oklahoma's Rep. Josh Brecheen has cosponsored a national version and joined a caucus that a civil rights group calls a hate group.
Sixteen of the Pillen family's monitored hog operations recorded nitrate above 50 parts per million. The federal drinking-water limit is 10. Nebraska's governor said he hadn't read the story and wouldn't — then attacked the reporter's nationality.
The New York Times found photos of a 20-year-old Mike Lawler with his face darkened at a college Halloween party. He said sorry, then spent the same night arguing it didn't count. Three NAACP branches told him it did.
A right-wing account clipped four words from a 2022 interview. Bobby Charles turned it into roughly 20 posts, a petition demanding a state representative resign, and eventually a campaign plan to stop the 'Islamification' of Maine.
Alabama's senator told a podcast the state might need its own border wall because 'they want to take this country over.' His office says he meant Muslims.
Omaha's Republican congressional candidate joined the vice president's sombrero meme campaign during the 2025 shutdown. The woman who ran the LULAC council he asked to join in 2023 asked him to delete it and apologize. Six months later he told a voter guide that leaders who inflame division erode democracy.
In January 2019, Missouri's Jason Smith yelled it at a Latino colleague standing at the podium, then wouldn't own up to it in the room. His excuse was that Democrats had gone to Puerto Rico during the shutdown — a shutdown he voted three times not to end.
