In the 1970s, Senator Frank Church, a Democrat from Idaho, stuck his neck out–unlike members of Congress today–to take on the real deep state–the FBI and CIA carrying out LSD mind-control experiments on Americans, terrorizing activists, and committing assassinations with the mafia, including against witnesses. The Church Committee Report, based on real Congressional investigations, not just performative show trials, shows us how to confront and dismantle the lawless, mass-murdering MAGA regime.  Historians Matthew Guariglia, a senior policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Brian Hochman, the Hubert J. Cloke Endowed Director of the American Studies Program at Georgetown University, are out with the definitive account, The Church Committee Report: Revelations from the Bombshell 1970s Investigation into the National Security State. They walk us through the decades of U.S. presidents of both major parties allowing a surveillance state to expand, running dangerous operations against the American people. The most chilling legacy is not the cartoonish villainy of poison darts and imperial assassinations, but the insidious cruelty of undermining activists. So pay attention. Don't let anyone–even a well-meaning ally–weaponize purity tests to gatekeep the Fourth American Revolution. Stopping the MAGA threat requires all of us building together in coalition. Based on the Church Committee's own findings, we know exactly what tools the FBI and CIA use to dismantle movements. They have very specific, terrifyingly effective strategies to divide and conquer We the People.  Here is what they do when they want to destroy a movement from the inside out: Snitch Jacketing: This is psychological warfare. They plant false information–maybe they leave a map or a weapon in an activist's car–specifically to make you think your friend is a police informant. They leverage paranoia to make us eat our own. Fabricated Dissent: They create fake zines, fake newsletters, and fake correspondence to manufacture feuds between groups. They want the anti-war movement fighting the labor movement so neither fights the state. The "Friendly" Infiltrator: Watch out for the guy who shows up out of nowhere with coffee and too many questions. They send plainclothes agents into our resilience communities to map our networks and identify leaders and how they operate. Entrapment: They find an "easy mark" in a group, push them toward violence, then arrest everyone for a plot the FBI invented. They manufacture terrorism. The "Suicide" Strategy: J. Edgar Hoover's FBI sent a letter to Martin Luther King Jr., threatening to expose his private life and pressuring him to kill himself. They try to break you psychologically so that you back down and disappear. According to historians Guariglia and Hochman, activists under siege were aware of the threats long before the Church Committee exposed them, and developed resilience strategies we can learn from today:  Reject the "All-Powerful" Myth: Don't give a lawless regime a bigger shadow than it actually has–that is what they want: to live inside your head. When you start believing the government is an all-knowing, all-powerful shadow monster, you are doing their work for them. Paranoia is a tool of the oppressor.  Build a Culture of Care: The only way snitch-jacketing works is if we don't know each other. Build deep, resilient relationships. When we take care of each other, their wedges don't work. Sousveillance (Watch from Below): Do not rely on police body cams; those tapes have a magical habit of being turned off when they're needed. Film everything. Control the narrative with your own evidence, eyes, and ears. Divest from Big Tech: Google, Amazon, and Apple are regime collaborators. We need to build our own infrastructure from high-tech mesh networks to low-tech zines. If you rely on the master's tools, they will shut you down, as we're seeing now with TikTok's mass-censorship under the new owners–MAGA donors, the Ellisons. Get Educated: Practice tech hygiene. Go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and use their Surveillance Self-Defense guide. Learn how to encrypt, what to carry, and how to stay safe. We're fighting a generational struggle, but we outnumber them. As Andrea's film Mr. Jones reminds us: The truth cannot be killed. Stay safe, vigilant, and united–that is how we win.

Reminder: Join us live this Thursday at 6pm CT for Happy Hour with Hightower!If you're ever asked to define the word oxymoron, just say, “Congressional ethics.” People instinctively burst out guffawing at the absurdity of linking Congress to upright behavior.But, surprisingly, Republican congressional leaders say they're now taking a bold stand for a little less corruption among their own members, targeting lawmakers who've been secretly enriching themselves through “insider stock trading.” Actually, the leaders were forced to support this bit of reform because of public outrage over the dirty dealing of Rep. Rob Bresnahan. This multimillionaire Republican was caught using his insider position last year to profit from the GOP's gutting of Medicaid benefits for poor people.So, last month, the party's designated ethics watchdog, Bryan Steil, rose on his hind legs to introduce the Stop Insider Trading Act. “If you want to trade stocks,” Steil howled in operatic outrage, “go to Wall Street.”Bravissimo! Except it was a fraud. Far from stopping the self-enriching stock scams of lawmakers like Bresnahan, Steil's bill basically legalizes their corrupt transactions. For example, members could keep trading stocks in corporations they supposedly oversee. And, in the loopiest of loopholes, sneaky lawmakers are authorized to have their spouses buy and sell stocks on the member's behalf.Then, showing his party's true colors, Steil exclaimed that we outsiders should not even push Congress to pass an honest, outright ban on insider trading – because that would discourage wealthy business executives from choosing to enter “public service.”Hello, that gives us two reason to demand a ban – (first) to impose a minimal ethical standard on lawmakers, and (second) to shoo off self-serving monopolists and plutocrats from controlling the public's agenda.Do something!If you're fed up with rigged congressional systems of corruption, check out Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), who call Steil's act a “joke,” and are working to pass the Restore Trust in Congress Act.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) requiring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all unclassified investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein by the legal deadline of 19 December 2025, only a tiny portion has been made public, triggering frustration among victims' advocates and lawmakers. Legal experts told the Guardian that efforts to compel full disclosure have been stymied; an attempt to appoint an independent monitor (a special master) to oversee the release failed, and the DOJ has shown little willingness to comply voluntarily. Attorneys representing survivors argued that transparency is essential for healing, accountability, and justice, and urged continued legal pressure through litigation, congressional oversight, Freedom of Information Act enforcement and sustained public scrutiny to force compliance.Experts also highlighted structural weaknesses in the current law — particularly that it lacks clear enforcement mechanisms or judicial oversight — which have allowed the DOJ to delay and limit disclosures with few consequences. Congressional leaders like Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, who co-sponsored the EFTA, said they will pursue every available legal avenue to ensure the files are released, including potential lawsuits or legislative fixes. Observers warned that without stronger enforcement tools, truth and closure for Epstein's survivors may remain elusive, as the agency charged with upholding the law is perceived to be flouting it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:What else can be done to force Trump's DoJ to release all the Epstein files?

The GOP has unleashed a terrifying new plot to harness the collective voting power of millions of QAnon adherents and sympathizers in their quest to retake the Congressional majority in this year's midterm elections. By doing so they have purposely unleashed a dangerous, uncontrollable virus into American politics. We talk with former New York Times investigative reporter and bestselling author Kurt Eichenwald about what it all means.

Is Trump building a secret harden bunker deep under the Golden Ball Room with money he diverted and laundered through the Park Service public accounts to his private White House residence bank accounts? All of these issues came out in public during a hearing before Federal Judge Leon, who seems poised to issue a “stop work order” to prevent further vertical construction of the Ball Room without Congressional approval. Michael Popok ties it all together.

57 Republicans joined Democrats to pass Trillions in more spending, including a political provision that allows the government to shut off your car whenever it wants. A Minneapolis mother who raised $173K by claiming her baby was tear-gassed by ICE completely lied.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 22, 2026. 0:30 Democrats just lost another seat — and once again, they didn’t take it to the voters. They took it to the courts. We break down how a New York judge ruled the city’s only Republican congressional district “unconstitutional,” triggering a forced redraw before the 2026 election. The target? Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis and New York’s 11th District. But here’s the twist: the district isn’t some bizarre salamander-shaped gerrymander. It’s Staten Island and a slice of Brooklyn — one of the most compact districts in the country. So why is it suddenly illegal? Racial gerrymandering, selective enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, and courts acting as political weapons. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The United States has founded the Board of Peace, an international organization created by President Trump. The Department of Justice has begun arresting anti-ICE agitators who stormed a church service in Minnesota over the weekend. A Judge in New York has ruled that the state's 11th Congressional district is unconstitutional under the state's constitution because there are too many white voters in the district. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Is President Trump quietly building a new world order — without the United Nations? We break down Trump’s jaw-dropping new “Board of Peace,” a global coalition where more than 30 countries are each putting up $1 billion to buy into Trump’s vision of international security. From the Middle East to Europe, this isn’t symbolic diplomacy — it’s real money, real power, and real influence. We explore whether this massive fund is reshaping NATO, stabilizing Gaza, sidelining the UN Security Council, and even laying the groundwork for Trump’s bold moves on Greenland and Arctic security. 16:00 Should Don Lemon be in jail? That’s the question we ask American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, after shocking video shows Lemon joining a BLM and anti-ICE activist group to disrupt a church service in Minnesota. What was framed as “journalism” now looks a lot more like activism, as footage reveals Lemon offering coffee and donuts, coordinating with known Black Lives Matter organizer Nakeema Armstrong, and knowingly participating in religious intimidation and political protest inside a place of worship. We dig into the legal and constitutional stakes — from First Amendment rights and religious freedom to whether disrupting a church could qualify as domestic terrorism under federal law. With indictments already handed down to protest leaders, the question remains: was Don Lemon reporting… or was he part of the operation? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 A viral video featuring a registered nurse wishing graphic medical harm on White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt — who is currently pregnant — has sparked outrage and a serious ethical reckoning. We break down how the Nightingale Pledge, the foundational oath of the nursing profession, is supposed to represent compassion, medical ethics, and basic human decency — and how this nurse’s comments represent the exact opposite. What began as a political disagreement has now crossed into dehumanization, cruelty, and open celebration of suffering. 25:30 New national crime data is turning heads — and rewriting the narrative. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, violent crime in the U.S. dropped sharply in 2025, with homicides down a staggering 21%, gun assaults down 22%, robberies down 23%, and carjackings plummeting by 43%. We Dig Deep into what could be the lowest murder rate in American history, with crime levels now falling below even pre-COVID numbers. So what changed? Is it tougher policing, National Guard deployments, aggressive prosecution, or mass deportations of violent gang members like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua? Crime doesn’t fall because of “economic opportunity” — it falls when laws are enforced, police are backed, criminals are jailed, and punishment is certain. America is once again operating as a nation of laws, not excuses, and Donald Trump’s return to tough-on-crime policies is a major factor behind the historic decline. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A special guest joins us today, actor and faith advocate Kevin Sorbo, who’s launching a “Footsteps of Paul” Bible cruise through Greece and the Middle East. Sorbo explains how actually visiting places like Athens, Ephesus, Crete, and Mykonos brings the New Testament to life in a way no book or movie ever could. Reading Scripture in the very locations where the Apostle Paul preached, he says, changes everything. The discussion also gets real about modern culture: would Paul be celebrated today — or canceled? Sorbo doesn’t hesitate, arguing that faith, free speech, and basic morality are under attack, pointing to church disruptions, political extremism, and growing public apathy. It’s part travel, part Bible study, and part cultural wake-up call — a conversation that blends Christian faith, Western values, cancel culture, and spiritual revival. 39:30 Republicans just blocked a last-minute Democratic push to limit Donald Trump’s military authority in Venezuela, and the vote couldn’t have been closer. With a 215–215 tie in the House and a tie-breaking vote from J.D. Vance in the Senate, Trump’s ability to act without new congressional approval remains intact. It wasn’t really about constitutional checks and balances, but about Democrats trying to weaken Trump politically — even after what they call a successful operation against Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro with zero U.S. casualties. And we finish off with a story about how Barron Trump likely saved a friend's life.

Steven Robinson, Editor-in-Chief of the Maine Wire, leads New England's fastest-growing digital media outlet focused on exposing political corruption and organized crime across local, state, and regional levels. A native of Dexter, Maine, and Bowdoin College graduate in political philosophy, he previously worked at Regnery Publishing, produced the Howie Carr Show, and handled Barstool Sports' Kirk Minihane Show and true-crime podcast The Case, which spurred murder charges per season. During COVID-19, he quit his job to travel 35,000 miles across North America in a camper van before returning to Maine in November 2022 to revitalize the Maine Wire as an aggressive, independent platform for underreported stories, bold investigations, and commentary. Robinson's groundbreaking "Triad Weed" series, launched in August 2023 after a leaked DHS memo revealed over 270 illicit cannabis operations by Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations in Maine, uncovered a vast Chinese mafia network spanning Maine to southeast China. His reporting exposed racketeering involving black-market cannabis, human and sex trafficking, money laundering, bank fraud, illegal border crossings, neurotoxins poisoning homes, murder, and national security threats—including CCP-linked properties near U.S. Army facilities. He provided exclusive details on the exploitation of U.S. Treasury–subsidized loans that allowed foreign nationals to purchase over 70 properties. Cited in Congressional reports and featured on CBS, Fox News, the Daily Mail, OANN, and more, Robinson's work has led to over 60 articles, property raids, arrests, Sen. Susan Collins' interrogations of intel agencies, and the documentary Triad Weed: How Chinese Mafia Infiltrated Maine. Local police praise it as a field manual, though Maine media avoids the story.

Finally, we hear about the Freedom Not Fascism rally in Troy for MLK Day from Andrea Cunliffe.

Lawmakers are still waiting for the Defense Department to provide details on how it plans to spend $23 billion already approved for the Golden Dome effort. Congressional appropriators say the Pentagon has not provided key budget information such as deployment schedule, cost, schedule and performance metrics, as well as a finalized system architecture. The White House has estimated the project could cost as much as $175 billion over the next three years. As a result, House and Senate appropriators were unable to conduct oversight of Golden Dome programs for fiscal 2026. Lawmakers want Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to submit a detailed spending plan within 60 days of the bill's enactment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., I sat down with Whitley Strieber—author of Communion and one of the most controversial figures in modern UFO history—during James Fox's historic NPC event focused on UFO disclosure and congressional accountability. In this exclusive conversation, we dive into the 1996 Varginha UFO crash in Brazil, a case involving the alleged retrieval of non-human biologics and meta-materials, and why this incident continues to surface in closed-door government discussions decades later. Whitley also reveals new physical markings on his body, including a recent unexplained mark on his leg that he believes may be evidence of intervention by non-human intelligence. We discuss his long-standing claim of an alien implant embedded in his ear, including a chilling account of a failed medical attempt to remove it, and what that implies about the technology involved.LINK THREAD—https://allmylinks.com/total-disclosure Subscribe to the channel on YouTube—— www.youtube.com/@totaldisclosure  Support TY and TDP Studios directly VIA PayPal (No FEES)— https://www.paypal.me/TDPstudios767?locale.x=en_US  YOUTUBE MEMBER—-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy2Cra7aLAAMVxkA9rSYCxg/join PATREON MEMBER—https://www.patreon.com/Total_Disclosure?fan_landing=true&view_as=public Follow On X—- Www.X.com/@DisclosurePod  Instagram—- www.instagram.com/DisclosurePod Facebook----Facebook.com/@ty.totaldisclosure Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/total-disclosure-podcast--5975113/support.CONTACT TDP DIRECTLY For Collaboration, Use of Segments/clips, or any other media produced by “TDP” —TY.TotalDisclosure@gmail.comSpecial Thank you to all of our PODCAST/YouTube Channel Members for your continued support, and dedication to seeking the truth, together.

Congressional leaders unveil a new bipartisan healthcare bill as part of a larger spending package. Measles cases double in South Carolina.

A new congressional spending bill could offer a lifeline to reauthorize the Technology Modernization Fund, which expired last month and froze nearly $200 million in unused funds. Congressional appropriators released the final slew of fiscal 2026 spending bills Tuesday, allocating more than $1 trillion to federal agencies and extending various laws or programs. Among the extensions is the reauthorization of the TMF through FY2026, or Sept. 30. It comes just over a month after authorization of the innovation funding vehicle expired Dec. 12. TMF was created in 2017 to fund technology projects across the government, but the bill that made it also set an expiration date that only Congress can extend. Lawmakers failed to move forward with standalone legislation to reauthorize the fund last month, and efforts to include it in larger spending packages also fell flat. Trade groups and IT industry experts were disappointed at the time, telling FedScoop in previous interviews that the expiration was not representative of the issue's typical bipartisan support. Some pinned the blame on procedural hurdles in Congress, including the 43-day-long government shutdown that pushed various nonfunding priorities toward the end of the year. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced bills in the last three Congresses to reauthorize TMF beyond 2025, but they did not make it out of the Senate, where they have at times faced pushback from congressional appropriators. Members of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency embedded in the Social Security Administration potentially exposed personally identifiable information via a third-party server, the Department of Justice said in a court filing that also revealed coordination between DOGE and an advocacy group seeking “evidence of voter fraud.” A lawsuit filed last February by the AFL-CIO and other labor groups against the SSA sought to cut off DOGE's access to sensitive data housed in agency systems. In March, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a temporary restraining order to limit that access. But after an SSA records review of the agency's “former DOGE Team for audit and litigation purposes,” the DOJ said in a filing dated Friday that “communications, use of data, and other actions” were found to be “potentially outside of SSA policy and/or noncompliant” with the court's order. One of those instances involved DOGE's sharing of data via a third-party Cloudflare server — a system that is “not approved for storing SSA data and when used in this manner is outside SSA's security protocols,” the DOJ wrote.

On this political happy hour, Michael and Anna are joined by Congressman Gabe Amo, a Democrat from Rhode Island's 1st Congressional district for a wide-ranging discussion on the latest news surrounding ICE and their potentially unconstitutional tactics, his experience working with local governments on gun violence during the Biden administration and his optimistic view of why more young people should run for office.

The Greenland situation continues to look more theatrical than existential. To me, leaked private messages from Emmanuel Macron, public frustration from Donald Trump, and hurried diplomatic calls ahead of Davos all point to the same conclusion: this is pressure politics playing out in real time. Trump's irritation appears rooted less in Greenland itself and more in confusion over European military commitments and mixed signals from allies. That kind of misunderstanding is combustible, but it is also solvable, especially when everyone involved is about to be in the same conference rooms in Switzerland.Europe's response, though, has been pretty revealing. Ursula von der Leyen's declaration that the “old order is dead” was less a threat than a signal of insecurity. Europe wants leverage, and hinting at closer ties with China is one way to gesture at it. My priors remain that this all de-escalates quietly. The United States and Europe trade too much, rely on each other too deeply, and share too many strategic interests for this to spiral beyond bruised egos and tough talk. The laws of economics tend to win these fights.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Immigration Enforcement and the Internal SplitBack at home, the most interesting fight is not between parties, but within the Trump administration itself. Tom Homan publicly arguing for better messaging around ICE operations is a tell. He understands that enforcement without a moral argument collapses under public scrutiny. His claim that roughly 70 percent of those arrested are criminals is clearly meant to counter the perception that ICE is acting indiscriminately, especially after the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.What stands out is who is not making that case. Kristi Noem, who has leaned heavily into the aesthetics of enforcement, has ceded the substance to Homan, and that imbalance matters. When enforcement becomes spectacle, it invites backlash. When it is framed as governance, it can sustain itself politically. The friction between Homan and Noem is, to me, the most important palace intrigue to watch in Trump's second term.Britain, Chagos, and Playing to the FutureSpeaking of our relationship with Europe, Trump's sharp criticism of the United Kingdom over the Chagos Islands is best understood through a political lens, not a strategic one. The deal to transfer sovereignty to Mauritius while leasing Diego Garcia back for 99 years is not new, nor was it opposed by Washington initially. Trump's reversal feels less about the base itself and more about aligning with figures like Nigel Farage, who benefit from confrontation with current European leadership.This is Trump playing a long game with the people he thinks will be in power next, not the ones currently holding office. Whether that gamble pays off is unclear, but it explains why a relatively obscure British territorial issue suddenly became Truth Social fodder. It is coalition maintenance, not military planning.Netflix, Warner Bros., and the End of Cable GravityFinally, Netflix's revised all-cash bid for Warner Bros. Discovery does a great job highlighting just how badly legacy media wants scale — and how selectively Netflix wants assets. Netflix does not care about cable networks. It wants intellectual property: Batman, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones. Paramount, by contrast, wants the whole thing in order to fight back against Netflix, and is willing to fight in court to get it.Hovering over all of this is CNN, which Netflix has no interest in owning and Paramount views as distressed but strategically important. Trump's recent reposts criticizing Netflix's cultural dominance suggest he may no longer stay neutral, which adds another unpredictable variable. This fight is not just about entertainment. It is about who controls narrative power in a post-cable world.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:05:47 - Justin and Kirk Bado on Republicans, Greenland, and Trump00:32:59 - Justin and Kirk Bado on Democratic Midterm Primaries00:49:20 - Justin and Kirk Bado on Josh Shapiro and 202800:59:51 - Steelers Talk01:13:25 - Update01:13:48 - Immigration01:16:30 - Chagos Islands01:21:16 - Netflix, Paramount, and Warner Bros.01:25:06 - Interview with Juliegrace Brufke on Congressional Vibes01:58:28 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

This week on Face the Nation, tensions continue to boil over in Minneapolis while the president's pursuit of Greenland prompts backlash from allies here and in Europe. Despite temperatures in the low teens, protestors in support of and in opposition to ICE, as well as agents themselves, took to the streets of Minneapolis again Saturday, as the divide between local officials and federal ones got even wider. Plus, America's views of President Trump's immigration policies erode as he hits the one year in office mark. We'll talk exclusively with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey. Then, with the volatile situation in Iran defused for the moment, President Trump turns to his next international target, Greenland.  As U.S. officials tried to calm European allies about his plans, Mr. Trump announced new tariffs on some NATO members if they don't support a deal for the "complete and total purchase of Greenland." The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee Mark Warner and the head of a bipartisan Congressional group supporting NATO, Republican Mike Turner, will both be here.

SURVIVAL AT VALLEY FORGE AND A NEW ARISTOCRACY Colleague Joseph Ellis. At Valley Forge, the army suffered from congressional neglect until Nathaniel Greene reorganized the quartermaster corps to provide food. Ellis describes the survivors as a "virtuous aristocracy" committed to American nationhood. He highlights the integrated nature of the Continental Army, which included significant numbers of African American soldiers, and John Laurens, a young officer who believed the war must end slavery. The British peace overtures were rejected as too late. NUMBE1801

In this blockbuster episode, Tara breaks down a jaw-dropping admission that most of the mainstream media is ignoring: “We will control the Venezuelan oil.” This isn't a war. It isn't a seizure. And it isn't illegal. It's a strategic, sanctions-backed move that may have just ended America's dependence on OPEC, kneecapped China's energy supply, and reshaped global geopolitics—without losing a single U.S. soldier.

The United States is urging its citizens in Iran to leave immediately, warning that protests continue to escalate.

Hundreds of proposed amendments to the United States Constitution are introduced during each session of the United States Congress. From 1789 through January 3, 2025, approximately 11,985 measures have been proposed to amend the United States Constitution.[1] Collectively, members of the House and Senate typically propose around 200 amendments during each two-year term of Congress.[2] Most, however, never get out of the Congressional committees in which they were proposed. Only a fraction of those actually receive enough support to win Congressional approval to go through the constitutional ratification process. Some proposed amendments are introduced over and over again in different sessions of Congress. It is also common for a number of identical resolutions to be offered on issues that have widespread public and congressional support
