Rep. Kiley Votes for Subpoenas Related to Justice Department’s ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’   Washington, D.C. –  Today, during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA) voted in favor of congressional subpoenas related to the Justice Department’s so called ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund.’   The subpoenas would have compelled testimony from Attorney General Todd Blanche, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, IRS CEO Frank Bisignano, and Treasury General Counsel Brian Morrissey.   "This highly unusual arrangement would appropriate $1.8 billion without congressional involvement or judicial approval for private payouts that advance no discernible public interest. I will use every oversight tool available to protect our taxpayers and the constitutional authority of Congress."   The measure failed to advance in committee, 18-17, despite Rep. Kiley’s support.   ### https://sierrawave.net/rep-kiley-votes-for-subpoenas-related-to-j...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 19, 2026 CONTACT: Jason Scalese Senator Alvarado-Gil Votes to Protect Local Control in Rural California SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-Jackson) today announced her no vote on Senate Bill 1344, which passed the Senate despite strong opposition from rural lawmakers and communities concerned about unchecked housing development. SB 1344 doubles the financial “undertaking” (bond) requirement for plaintiffs challenging certain housing projects from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and extends legal protections to additional “priority care” developments. While framed as a measure to reduce frivolous lawsuits, critics argue the bill further tilts the scales against local control, making it significantly more expensive and riskier for residents, neighborhoods, and local governments to legally challenge projects that may conflict with community character, traffic, wildfire safety, and infrastructure capacity. Senator Alvarado-Gil issued the following statemen...
