Hawley Urges Biden Admin to Keep China Tariffs in Place, Open Investigation into Unfair Trade Practices
Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai calling on the Biden Administration to maintain tariffs on Chinese goods and to initiate a new investigation into the Chinese Communist Party’s unfair trade practices.

In a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) pressed Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth and Chief of Staff of the Army General James C.

Hawley Bill to Dissolve DHS Disinformation Board, Disclose All Documents Related to Formation
Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced the Dissolving the Disinformation Governance Board Act which would immediately dissolve the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Disinformation Governance Board and prohibit DHS from ever replicating its attempt to monitor or censor Americans' speech. Senator Hawley said, “Biden’s so-called Disinformation Board is unconstitutional and must be dissolved immediately. This is nothing short of a censorship committee vested with the full powers of the federal government to monitor dissenting speech and opposing viewpoints under the guise of national security. The American people need a full accounting of who signed off on this board and who approved such a radical, anti-free speech activist to lead it.” Last week, Senator...
Hawley Op-Ed: Supreme Court Roe v Wade leak was plan to bully Justices but they must not back down
By U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) | May 4, 2022 | Fox News I once clerked at the Supreme Court. Over the years, I’ve litigated there too, and I’ve never seen anything like the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in the abortion case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Justice Alito’s draft majority opinion is powerful, overturning Roe and returning the question of abortion to the people. The opinion is everything a constitutionalist could hope for. This leak looks like an effort to derail it, and delegitimize the Court in the process. [...] And now the left is celebrating the individual who leaked this draft opinion, whoever it was. Brian Fallon, executive director of the dark-money activist group Demand...

Today Senator Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Acting Director Gary M. Restaino demanding answers on the agency's new rules that would unduly burden law-abiding gun owners and dealers. Senator Hawley previously sent a letter to ATF on this matter in June 2021. Senator Hawley asked, "What steps does ATF intend to take to ensure that any new information that may be retained by FFL dealers pursuant to Final Rule 2021R–05F is not subsequently used for the targeting of lawful gun owners by federal authorities or other politically-motivated purposes?” ATF's Proposed Rule 2021R–05, which has recently been finalized by ATF, would require gun dealers to maintain gun owner and transaction information forever, a...
