In one explosive week on Capitol Hill, lawmakers crossed party lines in a rare show of unity — and division — that’s shaking Washington to its core. First, the House voted 424-0 to restore the Office of Survivors Assistance, reaffirming America’s promise to the families of fallen heroes. Then, in a second dramatic move, another bill passed 265-148, ordering the automatic deportation of illegal immigrants who assault police officers.
Two votes. Two messages. One clear signal: the political winds in Washington are shifting fast. What began as a routine session ended as a turning point — for veterans, for law enforcement, and for the nation’s future direction.
