Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
House Democrats split on a resolution, with some voting against language criticizing left-wing activists. Rep. Zach Nunn introduced the measure, which credited the Trump administration’s law and order policies for contributing to a historic reduction in violent crime. The majority of Democrats who supported the resolution are facing competitive re-election contests. The vote came during National Police Week, which honors the service and sacrifice of fallen law enforcement officers.
The ritual of voting on a resolution has become a familiar stage for political performances.
