New Hawley Bill to Crack Down on McKinsey, Management Consultants’ China Contracts
Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced the Time to Choose Act which would prohibit the Department of Defense (DOD) and other federal agencies from contracting with consulting firms like McKinsey & Company who are simultaneously providing services to the Chinese government or its affiliates. The bill would force these government contractors to choose whether to stand with the United States in its efforts to protect Americans against China's imperial ambitions, or forfeit U.S. government contracts. "The fact that these consultants are awarded huge contracts by our Defense Department and other federal agencies, while they are simultaneously working to advance China's efforts to coerce the United States is appalling and completely...
New Hawley Bill to Crack Down on Left-Wing Attacks on Pregnancy Resource Centers, Churches
Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced the Pregnancy Resource Center Defense Act to protect these centers and houses of worship from radical pro-abortion activists’ campaign of violence, destruction, and intimidation. “The Biden Administration has turned a blind eye while radical leftists attack pregnancy care centers and houses of worship,” said Senator Hawley. “And now left-wing politicians are trying to shut them down. It’s time to put an end to the attacks and get tough on thugs who engage in violence, arson, and other means of destruction.” Following the leak of the draft opinion from the Supreme Court on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, there have been at least 50 separate incidents of violent attacks, including arson, against...

Today U.S. Senators Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) introduced the bipartisan Fire Station Improvement Act of 2022 to help local fire departments make improvements, repairs, and renovations at their local facilities. “Every day, America's firefighters put their lives on the line for their communities.

Hawley Calls for Investigation Into Biden’s Release of Emergency Oil Reserves to China, Foreign Competitors
Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to Department of Energy (DOE) Inspector General Teri Donaldson demanding she investigate President Joe Biden’s recent ongoing release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to foreign competitors, including China. New reporting has revealed that, as a result of Biden’s unprecedented release of oil from America’s emergency reserves, more than 5 million barrels of oil have already been shipped overseas to American competitors, draining the SPR to its lowest level since 1985. "While Americans are paying record gasoline and diesel fuel prices, the Biden administration appears to have been letting our strategic oil stockpiles flow to foreign countries and entities," Senator Hawley wrote. "Critically, the...
WATCH: Far-Left Berkeley Law Professor Melts Down When Senator Hawley Asks Her If Men Can Get Pregnant
Today in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) asked Berkeley Law professor Khiara M. Bridges to clarify what she meant by the term 'people with a capacity for pregnancy.' She responded by calling Senator Hawley's line of questioning "transphobic." Below is an excerpt of the exchange: Hawley: I just want to clear one thing up, Professor Bridges. You said several times, you've used a phrase, I want to make sure I understand what you mean by it. You've referred to people with 'a capacity for pregnancy.' Would that be women? Bridges: Many women, cis women, have the capacity for pregnancy. Many cis women do not have the capacity for pregnancy. There are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy as well as non binary people who are...

Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging him to immediately redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act.
