House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairwoman Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/your-platform-should-be-banned-congresswoman-rips-into-tiktok-ceo-for-targeting-kids" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cathy McMorris Rodgers</a> (R-WA) said Sunday that Congress should pass a ban on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> and a federal data privacy law.
Appearing on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; Sunday, McMorris Rodgers said that TikTok&#8217;s relationship with the Chinese company ByteDance is a threat to the privacy and safety of American citizens but added that the U.S. needs a national data privacy law to stop other tech giants from stealing Americans&#8217; data.
&#8220;What we are seeing is that TikTok and Mr. Chew have repeatedly been caught in this lie that there&#8217;s not a connection to ByteDance and ultimately the [Chinese Communist Party],&#8221; McMorris Rodgers said. &#8220;So they cannot be trusted to protect our data. They cannot be trusted to ensure that our children&#8217;s mental health is a priority.&#8221;
&#8220;We need a national data privacy standard also,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And that&#8217;s what Ranking Member [Frank] Pallone (D-NJ) and I have worked on and we&#8217;re going to introduce this Congress, because we need to take action, whether it&#8217;s TikTok, big tech, or other data brokers, to restrict the amount of data that they&#8217;re collecting to begin with.&#8221;
&#8220;We need to ensure that individuals have the right to know what their profile might be or it &#8212; or to be alerted if their information, their personal data is being accessed or transferred to another country like China. We need to protect kids, and we have the strongest protections for kids in the privacy proposal that we have been working on to protect anyone under the age of 17. And we need to stop this listening on devices of people.&#8221;
McMorris Rodgers said that a ban on TikTok should take priority.
&#8220;I would say there&#8217;s an immediate threat via TikTok from the Chinese Communist Party, that is the reason that I believe we need to ban TikTok immediately.&#8221;
New York Democratic Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-takes-to-tiktok-to-defend-chinese-owned-app-from-possible-nationwide-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> called for a national data privacy law on Saturday while at the same time defending TikTok from a bipartisan effort to ban the Chinese-owned app.
AOC said that banning TikTok “doesn’t really address the core of the issue, which is the fact that major social media companies are allowed to collect troves of deeply personal data about you that you don’t know about, without really any significant regulation whatsoever.”
“In fact, the United States is one of the only developed nations in the world that has no significant data or privacy protection laws on the books,” she said. Instead of banning TikTok, which has 150 million users, outright, the answer is to “actually protect Americans from this kind of egregious data harvesting that companies can do without your significant ability to say no,” she added.

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) sounded the alarm about the consequences of the recent strikes on U.S. bases in Syria.
Gallagher made the comments on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; Sunday, saying the U.S. must take a stronger policy of deterrence against Iran after Iranian-backed militias exchanged fire with U.S. military installations in the region on Thursday and Friday.
&#8220;We should be concerned that our deterrent posture vis-a-vis Iran is crumbling,&#8221; said Gallagher. &#8220;We can’t afford another failure of deterrence like that, which we saw in Ukraine.&#8221;
U.S. and Iranian-backed militias traded blows late last week. First, on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-contractor-killed-service-members-wounded-in-drone-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thursday</a>, an Iranian drone attack struck a maintenance facility for coalition forces near Hasakah in northeast Syria. Five service members were wounded, and one U.S. contractor was killed. On Thursday night, the U.S. launched retaliatory airstrikes against the militias affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. Those airstrikes killed eight militants.
Then on Friday, the militias attacked again. The groups fired missiles at a U.S. military base <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iran-proxies-fire-missiles-at-u-s-base-in-syria-after-airstrikes-kill-eight-militants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">near the Al-Omar oil field</a> on Friday, though no injuries were reported. On Friday evening, at least 20 missiles were fired at another U.S. base in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-least-one-u-s-service-member-injured-by-missile-strikes-in-syria-reports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deir Ezzor</a> in eastern Syria, with at least eight missiles making contact. One U.S. service member was injured in the attack.
Militant attacks on U.S. forces are common in Syria. Since 2021, the Pentagon estimates that Iran-backed groups have carried out 78 attacks on U.S. troops in the country. The U.S. military has more than 900 troops and hundreds more contractors in Syria working with Kurdish fighters to ensure that the Islamic State, which controlled much of Syria and Iraq in 2014, cannot rebuild itself, according to The New York Times.
Though the Islamic State has been pushed from most of its territory, pockets of terror groups still exist and continue to attack coalition forces.

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is setting its sights on the Biden administration&#8217;s mishandling of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/baby-formula-shortage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">baby formula shortage</a> of 2022.
Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-comer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Comer</a> (R-KY) and Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services Chairwoman Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) sent a <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Letter-to-FDA-re-Restructure-and-baby-formula-118th.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf requesting documents related to the government&#8217;s response to the nationwide baby formula shortage. The two lawmakers blasted the FDA for not taking any real accountability for mishandling the crisis.
&#8220;The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is continuing its investigation into the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) response to the infant formula shortage and its restructuring of the food and nutrition division in response to the infant formula shortage,&#8221; the two lawmakers wrote in their letter. &#8220;The Reagan-Udall Foundation’s report titled &#8216;<a href="https://reaganudall.org/sites/default/files/2022-12/Human%20Foods%20Program%20Independent%20Expert%20Panel%20Final%20Report%20120622.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Operational Evaluation of the FDA Human Foods Program</a>,&#8217; found that there was ‘little motivation, and no requirement,’ to ‘facilitate critical thinking and proactive decision-making’ during the infant formula shortage. Despite this report, and the acknowledged need for a major overhaul, you stated that there would be no reassignments nor firings over the administration’s response to the infant formula shortage.&#8221;
Comer and McClain also blasted the FDA for shuffling around the food safety and nutrition division instead of firing or reassigning the employees who mishandled the crisis, or taking any kind of real accountability. &#8220;As the administration scrambled to contain the issue, families across the nation were presented with the question of how they would feed the infants in their families and communities,&#8221; the lawmakers wrote. &#8220;Now, instead of removing or reassigning the individuals at fault for the poor response to this crisis, the announced restructuring of the food and nutrition division simply requires certain offices and personnel to report to the newly created position of Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods. The Committee is concerned that the FDA’s restructuring is a superficial attempt—rather than a real effort—to bring accountability and make meaningful changes.&#8221;
The Committee then demanded that the FDA turn over a trove of documents related to the crisis, including documents and communications:
<ul>
<li>Between the White House and the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services related to the shortage;</li>
<li>About the FDA&#8217;s reorganization plan for the food safety and nutrition division;</li>
<li>The selection process for a Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods;</li>
<li>The decision not to fire or reassign any individual involved in the response;</li>
<li>Outlining the procedures transitioning those units affected by the reorganization;</li>
<li>Outlining the timeline for implementation of the reorganization.</li>
</ul>
The committee demanded all documents before April 4.

News of the nationwide shortage of baby formula began in early 2022. President Joe Biden said he had been aware of the shortage since early <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-says-he-became-aware-of-baby-formula-shortage-in-early-april" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April</a>, and HHS Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-biden-official-claims-administration-knew-about-baby-formula-shortage-last-year" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xavier Becerra</a> said the administration had known about it since 2021; but no one in the administration publicly addressed it until May 2022. President Joe Biden was forced to import formula from foreign countries in an effort to get product on store shelves.
Families are still feeling the effects of the shortage, nearly a year after it began. According to a report from <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/08/us-baby-formula-shortage-one-year-later" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Guardian</a> earlier this month, shelves are still empty in some areas and certain brands are out of stock or limited, while the companies that make formula are facing scrutiny from federal regulators and investigators.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg&#8217;s team sent out a defiant public message after House Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-launch-probe-into-manhattan-das-unprecedented-abuse-of-office-to-target-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opened an investigation</a> into the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/manhattan-da-issues-scathing-response-gop-letter-possible-trump-indictment-we-will-not-be-intimidated" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported on Tuesday</a> a statement from a Bragg spokesperson one day after GOP lawmakers demanded records and testimony from the prosecutor who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-launch-probe-into-manhattan-das-unprecedented-abuse-of-office-to-target-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is investigating</a> Trump over alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election cycle.
&#8220;We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law,&#8221; the spokesperson said. &#8220;In every prosecution, we follow the law without fear or favor to uncover the truth. Our skilled, honest and dedicated lawyers remain hard at work.&#8221;
A trio of House Republican committee chairmen <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/jordan-comer-steil-demand-communications-documents-and-testimony-manhattan-da" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent a letter to Bragg</a> on Monday announcing an investigation and demanding communications, documents, and testimony in response to reports indicating that an indictment against Trump was imminent.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) signed onto the letter that warned of &#8220;an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office.&#8221;
Trump said over the weekend he expected to be arrested on Tuesday and called on his supporters to protest. A spokesperson for the former president later said Trump received <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-received-no-notification-than-illegal-leaks-possible-arrest-next-week-spokesperson-says?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no &#8220;notification&#8221;</a> other than &#8220;illegal leaks&#8221; to the media — likely referring to reports about law enforcement preparing for the possibility of an indictment.
Just what a possible indictment against Trump will look like remains uncertain, but there is widespread expectation that it would center on a charge of <a href="https://time.com/6264605/trump-critics-stormy-daniels-case-weak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bookkeeping</a> <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/rush-hour/legal-expert-trump-indictment-no-slam-dunk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fraud</a> to cover up an alleged affair, which the former president denies happened. Trump, who announced a third campaign for the White House in November, claims Bragg&#8217;s inquiry is politically motivated and denies any wrongdoing.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who led the first of two impeachment cases against Trump, condemned his Republican colleagues for opening an investigation into Bragg&#8217;s endeavor.

&#8220;Defending Trump is not a legitimate legislative purpose for Congress to investigate a state district attorney,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/danielsgoldman/status/1637813620896841729" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldman said in a tweet</a>. &#8220;Congress has no jurisdiction to investigate the Manhattan DA, which receives no federal funding nor has any other federal nexus.&#8221;
Jordan <a href="https://twitter.com/Jim_Jordan/status/163818925409" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued a fiery tweet</a> chastising Democrats for criticizing his inquiry.
&#8220;Democrats think it’s ok for them to examine and defund local police,&#8221; Jordan said. &#8220;But not ok for Republicans to examine a local prosecutor in Manhattan abusing his power to take down a political opponent.&#8221;

A top House Republican expressed skepticism about calls to increase the federal <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/banks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bank</a> deposit insurance cap.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) cast doubt on such proposals Sunday on CBS News&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/video/full-interview-rep-patrick-mchenry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Face the Nation</a>.&#8221; Democrats have floated raising the FDIC bank deposit insurance cap from $250,000 to between $2-10 million. But McHenry said that Congress needs to balance the costs and risks to the financial system before making such a consequential change.
&#8220;It&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve heard a proposal like that,&#8221; McHenry said. &#8220;And I have not had a single conversation with the White House or the administration about deposit insurance, changing the levels. What I will do though, legislatively, and in an oversight function is to determine whether or not we need to address the FDIC deposit level. We did it after the last financial crisis raising from $100,000 to $250,000. We had a temporary program, post-financial crisis to support deposits, to ensure that folks had confidence in their local bank.&#8221;
But McHenry stressed the need to balance the benefits and the risks.
&#8220;What I want to know is the trade-off though, the moral hazard of having more risk-taking in the financial sector, and also the impact it would have on community banks,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have far fewer community banks now than we&#8217;ve had in generations. That&#8217;s a significant problem for competition in the financial services arena.
&#8220;It is not a pure play of allowing a larger set of insurance coverage,&#8221; he added, &#8220;It costs the financial system significantly, and especially community banks. We need to look very carefully at this.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-democrats-say-fdic-should-reexamine-250000-deposit-insurance-threshold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Top Democrats</a> on the committees overseeing the financial sector called for the FDIC to increase the deposit insurance threshold on bank accounts in the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. The vast majority of depositors at the bank exceeded the $250,000 limit. Regulators scrambled to guarantee all deposits at SVB to avoid bank runs.
California Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who serves on the House Financial Services Committee, floated the idea in an interview with The New York Times Tuesday.

“When you have something like Silicon Valley Bank with over 90% of its depositors uninsured, do we increase the amount of premiums that banks will pay in order to have a bigger insurance fund or do we just remain the way that we are and take it on a one-by-one basis for consideration?” she said.
Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, a member of the Senate Banking Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, said Congress should “reexamine, just overall, about why we have limits” at the $250,000 threshold.
“Some small business, some nonprofit, needs a place to manage its money,” she said in an interview with CNBC, via The Hill. “They need to be able to make payroll, they need to be able to pay the utility bills, and they need a safe place to have that money where somebody’s going to keep it safe.”
Warren on Sunday <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elizabeth-warren-fdic-insurance-cap-lift-silicon-valley-bank/">said</a> raising the cap has &#8220;got to be on the table right now.&#8221;
&#8220;I think that lifting the FDIC insurance cap is a good move,&#8221; said Warren. &#8220;Now the question is, where&#8217;s the right number on lifting it?&#8230; This is a question we got to work through. Is-is it $2 million? Is it $5 million? Is it 10 million?&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> has countersued a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/delaware" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delaware</a>-based computer repairman, alleging that John Paul Mac Isaac violated his privacy by accessing and disseminating data held in Biden’s laptop.
Biden’s attorneys filed the suit in response to a lawsuit Mac Isaac filed against Biden in late January, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/hunter-biden-files-counter-claims-computer-repairman-handling/story?id=97918174" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>. Mac Isaac sued Biden for defamation, claiming that the son of the U.S. president unfairly and illegally targeted Mac Isaac and damaged his reputation for years with repeated claims that a laptop Biden left at Mac Isaac’s repair store could have been stolen or hacked.
Biden’s 42-page suit, filed on Friday, describes how the laptop became the center of a series of stories beginning in October 2020 about Biden’s life and overseas business dealings in countries such as Ukraine and China. The laptop is now a key component of House Republicans’ investigations into President Joe Biden.
“[Hunter] Biden had more than a reasonable expectation of privacy that any data that he created or maintained &#8230; would not be accessed, copied, disseminated, or posted on the Internet for others to use against him or his family or for the public to view,” Biden’s suit says.
“As a result of Mac Isaac’s unlawful agreement and his conspiracy with others, Mr. Biden’s personal data was made available to third parties and then ultimately to the public at large, which is highly offensive, causing harm to Mr. Biden and his reputation,” the suit says, according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/17/hunter-biden-lawsuit-computer-repairman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>. “The object of invading Mr. Biden’s privacy and disseminating his data was not for any legitimate purpose but to cause harm and embarrassment to Mr. Biden.”
Mac Isaac has challenged Biden’s claims, saying that after Biden failed to retrieve the laptop from the repair shop he forfeited possession of it and all its contents. Biden had agreed to terms that if he failed to return in 90 days to retrieve the laptop, the computer would be considered abandoned.
“Contrary to Mac Isaac’s Repair Authorization form, Delaware law provides that tangible personal property is deemed abandoned” only when the owner has failed to “assert or declare property rights to the property for a period of 1 year,” Biden’s suit states, according to the ABC News.
Biden’s lawsuit shows an increasingly adversarial legal strategy his legal team has taken in the wake of the data from that laptop, left at Mac Isaac’s computer repair store in 2019 and never recovered, being released to the public. On February 1, one of Biden’s attorneys <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-steve-bannon-politics-united-states-government-robert-hunter-d20948db8967e21024059f38cde5e94c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> the Justice Department to consider criminal investigations of allies of former President Donald Trump who shared the laptop’s data.

Republican <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> Congressman Greg Steube said Wednesday that he was cleared to return to work after falling roughly 25 feet from a ladder
Steube said in an announcement on Twitter Wednesday afternoon that his doctors cleared him to fly, meaning that he would be able to return to Washington, D.C., later this month. Steube fell 25 feet from a ladder at his house in Sarasota in January. Despite being confined to his house, Steube has still been an active legislator.
&#8220;I’m happy to report my doctor has cleared me to fly,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/RepGregSteube/status/1636046089257205773?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steube</a> wrote. &#8220;I am looking forward to returning to D.C. later this month!&#8221;
Several of Steube&#8217;s colleagues sent well wishes to him on Twitter.

Steube fell 25 feet off a ladder while doing chores around his house on January 18. According to a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rep-greg-steubes-25-foot-fall-seen-delivery-driver-called-help-911-audio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> report from the time, he was cutting branches from a tree when a branch hit his ladder and caused it to collapse. He was rescued by Darrell Woodie, a delivery driver who also works part-time as a field staffer for Steube&#8217;s colleague, Rep. Vern Buchanan, whose district borders his own. Woodie reportedly said he went to Steube&#8217;s house to congratulate him on his re-election win, when saw the fall and called 911.
He was hospitalized, which included an overnight stay in the ICU, before he returned home on January 21. After four days at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Steube tweeted a photo of himself at home, still wearing a stabilizing brace around his neck, on a couch with his dogs — and he shared how his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-am-blessed-gop-rep-gives-health-update-after-fall-landed-him-in-icu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recovery</a> was going.
“I am blessed to have a great support team in my wife Jennifer as well as numerous friends and family, including the Steube pups,” he tweeted on January 23. “Grateful for everyone’s prayers and well-wishes as I recover from a fractured pelvis, a punctured lung, and several torn ligaments in my neck.”
“While I will be sidelined in Sarasota for several weeks, I will be carrying out as many of my congressional duties as possible,” he added. “And our D.C. and district staff continue to be readily available to assist Floridians in FL-17.”
“I’m eager to rejoin my colleagues in Washington as soon as possible!” he concluded.
Steube also <a href="https://twitter.com/RepGregSteube/status/1620187903388446720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited</a> Woodie to be his guest for the State of the Union address in February. “Mr. Woodie called 911 after witnessing my accident and is the epitome of a Good Samaritan!” he tweeted, along with a picture of the two together.
Despite being out of his office, Steube has continued to be an active legislator. He was <a href="https://steube.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-greg-steube-appointed-to-select-subcommittee-on-the-weaponization-of-the-federal-government" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appointed</a> by McCarthy to serve on the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. He has also introduced several pieces of legislation, most notably the &#8220;<a href="https://steube.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-steube-introduces-the-safe-storage-lockers-for-house-office-buildings-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Safe Storage Lockers for House Office Buildings Act</a>,&#8221; which would require the Capitol Police to install storage lockers at all pedestrian entrances to each House Office Building, so that employees can safely store weapons for self-defense.
Correction: A previous version of this article stated that Rep. Greg Steube fell off his roof. He fell off his ladder.

A top <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republican</a> called for the federal government to temporarily insure all bank deposits at all banks around the country.
Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) said Tuesday that the government should back up all deposits in banks for the time being in order to shore up confidence in the financial system and avoid bank runs. His comments come amidst controversy over the government&#8217;s decision to fully insure the deposits of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/silicon-valley-bank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Silicon Valley Bank</a> after it collapsed last week.
“If you don’t do this, there’s going to be a run on your smaller banks,” Luetkemeyer told <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/14/bank-deposits-house-republican-00086974" target="_blank" rel="noopener">POLITICO</a>. “Everyone’s going to take their money out and run to the JPMorgan’s and these too-big-to-fail banks, and they’re going to get bigger and everybody else is going to get smaller and weaker, and it’s going really be bad for our system.”
Luetkemeyer, a former banker and a member of the House Financial Services Committee, is one of a few House Republicans taking the Biden administration’s line on insuring deposits at SVB. Other Republicans in Congress, including Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Lance Gooden (R-TX), and Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO), J.D. Vance (R-OH), Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Roger Marshall (R-KS), among others, have blasted the Biden administration&#8217;s policy, calling it a bailout for large banks.
Luetkemeyer seemed to disagree. “The thought process here is that this is a contagion that could be spread across the entire banking system if it’s not contained and if people don’t stop and be calm about their assessment of the situation,” he said. “This is a Chicken Little situation. You know, the sky is falling. Everybody runs around like that, the whole thing’s going to implode.”
“So what you could do right now is that very same thing and say, hey, look, for another 12 months here or six months, we’re going to guarantee you every single deposit in this country and every bank until we get this interest rate situation resolved and these banks get back on solid footing,” he said. He noted that after the financial crisis in 2008, a temporary policy was established by the FDIC that increased deposit insurance above the $250,000 limit.
The Republican later backed down somewhat, saying in a statement that the policy should only last between 30 to 60 days.
The FDIC <a href="https://www.fdic.gov/news/press-releases/2023/pr23019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> Monday that it would insure all depositors at Silicon Valley Bank after it collapsed late last week. &#8220;Depositors will have full access to their money beginning this morning, when Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A., the bridge bank, opens and resumes normal banking hours and activities, including online banking,&#8221; the FDIC said in a statement. &#8220;Depositors and borrowers will automatically become customers of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. and will have customer service and access to their funds by ATM, debit cards, and writing checks in the same manner as before. Silicon Valley Bank’s official checks will continue to clear. Loan customers should continue making loan payments as usual.”
&#8220;The transfer of all the deposits was completed under the systemic risk exception approved [Sunday],&#8221; the FDIC added. &#8220;All depositors of the institution will be made whole. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by taxpayers. Shareholders and certain unsecured debt holders will not be protected. Senior management has also been removed. Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.&#8221;

Senior House Republican Says Biden Administration Should Temporarily Guarantee All Bank Deposits Nationwide

Politico

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said Sunday that at least one Democrat senator wanted to censor what information is available to the public in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/regulators-shut-down-major-tech-bank-after-run-on-savings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collapse</a> last week.
In a tweet Sunday, Massie said an unnamed Democrat senator had asked what options the government has to censor information that could cause a run on the banks.
&#8220;Just got off of a zoom meeting with Fed, Treasury, FDIC [Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation], House, and Senate,&#8221; Massie tweeted.

&#8220;A Democrat Senator essentially asked whether there was a program in place to censor information on social media that could lead to a run on the banks,&#8221; Massie added.
Silicon Valley Bank, a popular bank for U.S. tech startups, faced a sudden bank run on Friday. The crisis spiraled into the largest American bank failure since 2008.
The chaos kicked off on Wednesday when Silicon Valley Bank announced that it had sold a large amount of securities, losing $1.8 billion, and was planning to sell $2.25 billion in new shares to offset the loss.
This caused venture capital firms to reportedly recommend companies take their money out of the bank. The bank’s customers attempted to withdraw about $42 billion, and the bank ran out of cash.
Over the course of Thursday, the bank&#8217;s stock nosedived 60%.
The panic began to spread beyond Silicon Valley Bank on Thursday. Investors using other banks started to withdraw their money as well, worrying that a crisis similar to 2008 was beginning. This caused those banks&#8217; stock to sink too.
On Friday morning, trading of Silicon Valley Bank’s shares was halted, and California regulators shut down the bank about 48 hours after the crisis began.
SVB was 40 years old and the 16th-largest U.S. bank before it was shuttered.
Massie said the response to the Democrat senator’s question was, “We will get back to you on that.”
Massie also responded to a Twitter user who commented that while they are anti-censorship, “spreading unfounded rumors to promote a run on a bank” is akin to &#8220;yelling fire in a crowded theater.&#8221;
&#8220;What about yelling fire in a theater that’s on fire?&#8221; Massie replied.
Censorship has become a flashpoint in the political debate over the last several years, especially in the wake of the 2020 election and the pandemic. The Biden administration <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/26/biden-admin-pushed-to-ban-twitter-users-for-covid-disinformation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressured</a> social media companies to censor information about COVID that <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/twitter-files-platform-suppressed-valid-information-from-medical-experts-about-covid-19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bucked</a> the mainstream line of thought. Last month, House Republicans grilled former Twitter employees about whether the FBI pressured the company to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election.
On Monday, President Joe Biden promised taxpayers would not shoulder the cost of Silicon Valley Bank’s failure.
&#8220;No losses will be — and this is an important point — no losses will be borne by the taxpayers; let me repeat that, no losses will be borne by the taxpayer,&#8221; Biden said at the White House. 
&#8220;Instead the money will come from the fees that banks pay into the Deposit Insurance Fund,” Biden said.
Silicon Valley Bank’s customers will have access to their money on Monday, Biden said.

The showdown over the future of the federal <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/budget" target="_blank" rel="noopener">budget</a> is taking shape as President <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> releases his fiscal year 2024 spending proposal and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> prepare to leverage their new majority to block the plan.
The White House suggested an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-taxes-and-more-spending-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-president-bidens-newest-budget" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increase</a> in the federal budget from $5.8 trillion to $6.9 trillion over the next fiscal year while reducing cumulative deficits by $3 trillion over the next decade through a number of tax hikes on businesses and wealthy individuals. Households with more than $100 million in wealth would be subjected to a 25% minimum tax, while the top marginal tax rate would also be increased to 39.6% from the current 37% rate. Businesses would see an increase in the corporate tax to 28%, which would split the difference between the current 21% rate and the previous 35% rate that was in effect before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
The proposal, which also suggested new health care and education subsidies, largely adheres to the Democratic emphasis on redistributive fiscal policy. “This budget builds on our economic progress by making smart, fiscally responsible investments, which would be more than fully paid for by requiring corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/SecYellen/status/1633908057380929571" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “The budget’s growth-enhancing investments will continue the economic progress of the last two years and further boost the economy’s productive capacity.”
Republican officials, who have not yet countered the budget with a proposal of their own, meanwhile <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dead-on-arrival-republicans-slam-biden-budgets-higher-taxes-and-spending" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contested</a> various elements of the plan. “President Biden just delivered his budget to Congress, and it is completely unserious. He proposes trillions in new taxes that you and your family will pay directly or through higher costs,” remarked House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). “Washington has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.”
The release of the budget proposal coincides with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/congressional-budget-office-reveals-when-government-will-run-out-of-cash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">negotiations</a> between Biden and McCarthy over the debt ceiling, a measure established by Congress that disallows the federal government from spending beyond the predetermined statutory limit of $31.4 trillion. Yellen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yellen-warns-congress-extraordinary-measures-have-begun-after-debt-ceiling-breached" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> lawmakers that the Treasury Department was forced to implement “extraordinary measures” earlier this year to fund the government until early June, after which the government will default.
The House Freedom Caucus, which withheld votes from McCarthy at the beginning of the present Congress until he committed to negotiating with Biden on efforts to reduce the national debt, announced that members would likewise <a href="https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/1634205313623572480" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refuse</a> to support raising the debt ceiling unless various White House policies are rescinded.
Among the initiatives that the Republican lawmakers want to repeal are the $400 billion student debt cancellation executive order, the $80 billion allocation to the IRS enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act, and all unspent stimulus funds earmarked during the lockdown-induced recession. Votes in favor of raising the debt limit are also contingent upon capping discretionary spending at fiscal year 2022 levels for the next decade with a 1% annual growth allowance.
Business leaders and government officials have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/were-going-to-have-to-fix-this-jpmorgan-chase-ceo-sounds-the-alarm-over-soaring-national-debt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cautioned</a> that a default would likely induce a worldwide financial crisis. Increases in the national debt, however, are unsustainable: the federal government’s obligations surpassed $31.5 trillion, equivalent to roughly 120% of the nation’s gross domestic product. Maintenance costs are meanwhile increasing due to the present <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/interest-payments-on-the-national-debt-on-pace-to-surpass-military-spending" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rise</a> in interest rates.
An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/government-must-raise-taxes-40-or-cut-spending-30-to-achieve-fiscal-balance-study" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from economists at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School recently concluded that a 30% decrease in spending or a 40% increase in taxation would be necessary to handle current deficit spending and future obligations. Republican and Democratic administrations alike have overseen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-american-people-want-a-real-change-steve-forbes-rebukes-both-parties-for-sinful-government-spending-habits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surges</a> in debt over the past several decades.

Former U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Robert Redfield said Wednesday that American tax dollars funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that created COVID.
Speaking to the House Oversight Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Redfield doubled down on his history of disputing the collective narrative that COVID transmitted from a bat to a human and further testified that scientific research indicates that one of the most infectious viruses that impacted nearly seven million lives globally likely leaked from the Chinese Communist Party run-lab in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
After members of the subcommittee raised concerns about the origins of COVID, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) questioned the likelihood of American tax dollars funding the gain of function research that created the virus.
&#8220;I think it did,&#8221; Redfield said. &#8220;Not only from [National Institute of Health] but from the State Department, USAID, and from [Department of Defense].&#8221;

House Republicans scheduled the hearing after U.S. Energy Department officials revised a document that judged with &#8220;low confidence&#8221; that the virus had leaked from a Chinese laboratory.
New classified intelligence recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress showed Energy Department officials shifted their assessment of the pandemic&#8217;s origins in an updated 2021 report by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines&#8217;s office.
The updated classified report also affirms the view that COVID did not stem from a biological weapons program. A lack of a definitive animal source has led researchers and U.S. officials to suspect a leak from Wuhan&#8217;s assemblage of laboratories.
The subcommittee also pushed a new memo Sunday claiming new evidence suggests National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci &#8220;prompted the drafting&#8221; of &#8220;Proximal Origin&#8221; to disprove the lab leak theory, which Redfield dismissed as an &#8220;inaccurate paper&#8221; created to rally behind a constructed narrative the virus&#8217; genesis emerged from a wet market in Wuhan.
The evidence reviewed by the GOP-led Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic members shows Fauci and at least 12 other scientists, including former National Institute of Health director Dr. Francis Collins, were first warned the virus possibly leaked from a lab in the central Chinese city of Wuhan on a conference call during the early days of the pandemic.
Redfield said he believes Fauci and Collins intentionally excluded him from conference calls with other health officials to discuss the virus&#8217;s origins.
&#8220;I was quite upset as the CDC director that I was excluded in those discussions,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Why would they do this? Because I had a different point of view, and I was told they made a decision that they would keep this confidential.&#8221;

Fauci dismissed Redfield&#8217;s accusation to Politico as &#8220;completely untrue.&#8221;
&#8220;No one excluded anyone,&#8221; he told POLITICO after the hearing, which he did not attend. &#8220;And the idea of saying that he was not wanted there because he had a different opinion … there were several people on the call who had the opinion that it might have been an engineered virus.&#8221;
Former President Donald Trump appointed Dr. Redfield as the CDC director in 2018 until stepping down from the position in 2021 when President Joe Biden ushered in a new administration.

Non-citizens who have resided in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington-d-c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington, D.C.</a>, for at least 30 days can now vote in local city elections after the review period for a newly passed bill allowing such votes to occur ended last week, according to local media.
D.C. city officials passed the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act on its first reading last year, which Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser allowed to pass without her signature, as she refused to veto the legislation. However, acts of the city council are subject to congressional review due to the district residing in the federal territory.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill had 30 session days to object to the legislation, with the House voting to stop the bill from taking effect, WAMU reported. However, the Senate ran out of time before the review period ended.
The new law still has to secure approximately $1.6 million in funding to create the new voter registry for non-citizens, WAMU reported, adding that Congress still has options to block the measure, specifically by prohibiting D.C. officials from spending money on it taking effect.
Washington, D.C., city council member Charles Allen introduced the bill in October 2020, arguing that it aligns with the chamber&#8217;s values and history of expanding voting rights.
&#8220;Our immigrant neighbors of all statuses participate, contribute, and care about our community in our city,&#8221; Allen said at the time of the vote.
During the passing last year, the bill&#8217;s lead sponsor, Councilmember Brianne Nadeau, bragged how she &#8220;championed expanding voting rights so that those who have made the District their home have the right for their voices to be heard in our local issues, no matter their immigration status.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/d-c-s-new-voters-aliens-and-diplomats-muriel-bowser-mayoral-elections-11669237497" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> editorial board argued in a November 23 piece that the bill extends local voting rights to illegal immigrants and foreign diplomats:
<blockquote>It reads like a bad parody of progressive decadence. Try to imagine American diplomatic personnel showing up to cast ballots for the mayor of Beijing or Moscow. Beyond that, the standard objections to noncitizen voting apply. It weakens the incentive to naturalize. Only U.S. citizens can vote in federal races, so including noncitizens in local races would force election officials to manage two voter lists and two sets of ballots. It’s begging for a fiasco.</blockquote>

The move comes after Biden administration officials have claimed they are working to make Washington, D.C., the 51st state of the Union and give the city autonomy to govern its local affairs.
House Republicans passed a resolution to block the law from taking effect with the support of 42 Democrats.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-led-house-moves-to-stop-d-c-s-illegal-immigrant-voting-plan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> the D.C. voting resolution and previously warned that such &#8220;misguided efforts would allow crime to run rampant and disenfranchise American citizens in our nation&#8217;s capital.&#8221;
&#8220;Voting is a pillar of American democracy and a constitutional right that undeniably needs to be protected and preserved for citizens of this country,&#8221; Comer said in a statement to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/washington-dc-city-council-bill-allowing-noncitizens-vote-law?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>. &#8220;The D.C. Council&#8217;s reckless decision to allow non-U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants the right to vote in local elections is an attack on the foundation of this republic.&#8221;
Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) assailed Republicans in Congress for introducing &#8220;undemocratic&#8221; and &#8220;paternalistic&#8221; resolutions to overrule the D.C. Council.
&#8220;Instead of abusing its power over D.C. by nullifying legislation enacted by the D.C. Council, the House should adhere to democratic principles and pass my D.C. statehood bill, which would give D.C. residents voting representation in Congress and full control over their local affairs,&#8221; Norton said in prepared remarks.
During a speech, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused her GOP colleagues of &#8220;expanding&#8221; their support of disenfranchisement in the &#8220;overwhelmingly black city,&#8221; pointing out how Republicans already oppose D.C. statehood.
&#8220;The D.C. City Council has the right to determine its policies for D.C. residents,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And if any member of this body does not like that, they can feel free to change their registration, resign their post and run for D.C. City Council.&#8221;
In January, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced a bill to stop non-citizens from voting in local elections in Washington, D.C., saying that allowing non-citizens and illegal immigrants to exercise voting rights reserved for American citizens violates the nation&#8217;s constitutional principles, &#8220;but also naively invites foreign meddling in our elections.&#8221;
&#8220;Voting is a privilege and the tool by which American citizens exercise their say in who leads our country, how we spend our tax dollars, and what policies should be instituted,&#8221; Cruz <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ted-cruz-introduces-bill-to-block-non-citizens-from-voting-in-washington-d-c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;I am vehemently against unconstitutionally cheapening the votes of American citizens and ignoring the rule of law in this nation.&#8221;
Fellow GOP Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) also introduced a resolution in Congress in December to block the non-citizen voting law from taking effect, calling it an &#8220;insane policy.&#8221;
