RFK Jr.’s Confirmation May Be Bumpy—or It May Not The former Democrat has faced surprisingly little opposition from Republicans and advocates concerned about his beliefs. When Donald Trump named Robert F. Kennedy Jr. two months ago today as his pick for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, there was widespread speculation that two big issues—vaccines and abortion—could sink the former Democrat. But two months later, Kennedy has managed to keep his head above water by modifying his rhetoric on vaccines and promising in meetings with Republican senators to implement whatever agenda Trump wants on abortion. https://thedispatch.com/article/how-certain-is-rfk-jr-s-confirmation/...

National CCW Reciprocity? What Would That Look Like? Earlier this week, we reported on CRPA’s support for a national CCW reciprocity bill recently introduced in Congress.

Who Owns the US National Debt? Key Takeaways here are two kinds of national debt: intragovernmental and public. Intragovernmental is debt held by the Federal Reserve and Social Security and other government agencies. Public debt is held by the public: individual investors, institutions, foreign governments. After intragovernmental holdings, the next largest category is national debt held by foreign governments. Of those, Japan has the most, followed by China. The Federal Reserve also invests in U.S. national debt as it added liquidity to the economy during and after the Great Recession, and more recently during the pandemic. https://www.thebalancemoney.com/who-owns-the-u-s-national-debt-3306124 The Federal...
