This unilateral action dangerously undermines democratic institutions and sets a troubling precedent for executive overreach that threatens our constitutional balance of power.
Progressive lawmakers Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders introduced legislation to pause new data centers in the United States until national safeguards protecting workers, consumers, and the environment are established.

Arizona Republican lawmakers are defying the will of their constituents by introducing numerous bills to restrict abortion access, despite voters overwhelmingly approving Proposition 139 which enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution. This brazen disregard for democratic principles and constitutional oaths represents a dangerous assault on fundamental freedoms and the very foundation of representative government.
Missouri's House committee rejected a bill to revive the Second Amendment Preservation Act due to bipartisan concerns over its impact on gun dealers, litigation risks, and law enforcement opposition.
