Sen. Mike Lee is attempting to attach an amendment outlawing abortions for D.C. women after 20 weeks of pregnancy to a cybersecurity bill, which Sen. Joe Lieberman is trying to pass without any “non-germane” amendments.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) introduced a bill yesterday that would allow D.C. to spend its money when and how it wants and set its own fiscal year.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is set to introduce legislation that would allow D.C. to spend its money when and how it wants.

Members of Congress are making their voices heard on two issues that affect D.C.—a school voucher program and needle-exchange programs.

Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) care so much about D.C. public schools that they’re willing to forgo funding them if a controversial voucher program isn’t revived.

And so it was — the U.S. Senate voted today 57-42 in favor of closing debate on legislation that would grant the District a voting seat in the House of Representatives, three short of what was needed to prevent a Republican-led filibuster.

The hearing, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., will include testimony split into two panels, the first with Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), Mayor…

In a hearing scheduled to start at 10 a.m. before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, eight witnesses will discuss the legislation that was passed in the House on…

The U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has scheduled a hearing to consider legislation that would grant the District a voting seat in the House of Representatives. The hearing, which will be presided over by bill sponsor Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), will take place on Tuesday, May 15 in 342 Dirksen.
