The Truth About Left-Wing Attacks on Mike Lee
The Tom Steyer-funded left-wing attack group CREW, which has sued President Trump more than 175 times, recently spun off a new attack entity devoted to attacking conservatives over technology issues.
This new entity recently attacked Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) for allegedly changing his position on antitrust law due to a “lengthy, multifaceted campaign by Google and other big technology companies.”
Flight-sharing could transform air travel, but the government won’t let it take off
When it comes to air travel, Americans today have just two options available to them: commercial aviation, which comes with the frustrations most of us are familiar with, and charter flights, which are simply out of reach for many. But the government is keeping us from accessing another option that’s already common elsewhere in the world.
Holding Russia Accountable

Making Education More Affordable
The 21st century economy has brought incredible new opportunities for young people, but new challenges along with them. Take our higher education system.
Students usually need some form of higher education after high school to get a good job. But unfortunately, our current system mires them into staggering student loan debt. And tuition costs are only continuing to skyrocket each year.
Sen. Lee Introduces Resolution Affirming INF Treaty Withdrawal
WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced a resolution Thursday concurring with President Trump’s February 2, 2019 notice to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.
“For years now, Russia has repeatedly and routinely violated their commitments under the INF treaty,” Sen. Lee said. “For arms control to work, all parties must be committed, lawful participants. Russian non-compliance has prevailed without consequence for far too long and the United States should not remain unilaterally bound to a one-sided agreement.”
Just one agency should enforce antitrust law
Anonymous individuals at the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission have recently taken it upon themselves to leak to the media that their respective agencies will soon open investigations of the largest U.S. tech companies.

Trump’s Mexico tariff threat shows Congress must reclaim trade powers and much more
It’s not every day that a topic near and dear to my heart — the separation of powers — becomes front-page news, but that’s exactly what happened this past week as thousands of manufacturers, farmers, retailers, builders, and restaurateurs realized that President Donald Trump was absolutely serious about implementing a 5% tariff on all Mexican imports on June 10.
Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act: The case for a more merit-based immigration system
Ashish Patel first came to Utah legally in 2005 on a temporary high-skilled work visa. Since that time Mr. Patel worked hard at his job, paid taxes, followed the law, got married, and had two kids, both of whom were born American citizens.
In February 2011, Mr. Patel’s petition to earn a Green Card – the legal document that gives an immigrant the right to live and work in the United States permanently – was approved. Though approved, his Green Card remains unissued. If Mr. Patel had immigrated from any country in the world other than India he would already have his Green Card today.
Yemen Resolution Veto Override
Mr./Madam President,
Over the past few months the members of this body and of the House of Representatives resoundingly voted in favor of S.J. Res 7, which would remove U.S. armed forces from Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.
This unconstitutional, unjustified, and immoral war has repeatedly come up over the past year; and thankfully, America’s elected representatives have taken a stand on it.
The Not-So-Incredible Shirking Congress
Presidential power is out of control, and our legislature must reassert itself
Imagine it’s March 2022. The Republican-controlled Senate has just rejected Speaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, ending any chance of legislative action on climate change before the midterm elections.
Heavy rains have caused flooding along the Ohio and Wabash Rivers in Indiana. The governor has called a state of emergency. And with her legislative agenda in tatters and the economy flat, President Kamala Harris sees her chance: She declares a national emergency over climate change, invoking broad legislative powers pursuant to the National Emergencies Act.
