The Washington Stand’s Casey Harper shares insight into the House resolution to end military operations in Iran and considers the anticipated response from the Senate, a floor vote in the U.S. House to impose sweeping sanctions on Russia due to its invasion of Ukraine, and a prayer event hosted by Senator Josh Hawley on Capitol Hill, where he shared an important pro-life announcement. Josh Brecheen, U.S. Representative for Oklahoma’s 2nd District, reports on a vote unfolding in the U.S. House that, if passed, will implement strict sanctions on Russia. E. J. Antoni, Chief Economist for the Institute for Economic Policy Studies and a Richard Aster Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, describes the likely ramifications of the Fed raising interest rates and contrasts that decision with Secretary Bessent’s testimony that sending $5,000 checks to adult citizens can be accomplished without borrowing additional money or seeking congressional approval. Bill Cassidy, U.S. Senator from Louisiana and Chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, explains why Congress must take action to save Social Security. Josh Hawley, U.S. Senator from Missouri, highlights a Capitol Hill prayer event where he shared the Declaration for Life with Missouri pastors and numerous national Christian leaders. He also provided insight into the Senate Judiciary Committee’s efforts to fill judicial vacancies ahead of the November elections. Cissie Graham Lynch, Author and Host of the “Fearless” Podcast, responds to her nomination for Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom and previews her new book “Stand Steady.”
