| As Congress Fixates on Same-Sex Marriage, Lame Duck Necessities Pile Up |
| by Dan Hart |
| As the U.S. Senate burned precious legislative days dealing with the Respect for Marriage Act, which senators like Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) noted was a "stupid waste of time" back in July because the 2015 Obergefell Supreme Court decision had already guaranteed same-sex couples a right to marry, observers are pointing to a logjam of critical priorities that must be dealt with during the final 15 legislative days before the lame duck session expires, including an omnibus bill to fund the federal government and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to fund the military. |

| Senator Lummis Doesn't 'Like' Logical Implications of Her Vote for Same-Sex Marriage |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Before casting a vote for same-sex marriage on Tuesday, Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) spoke from the floor to enumerate all the reasons she shouldn't. "So, why have I strayed with such anguish from a path that conforms to my beliefs, my instruction, my faith to vote for the Respect for Marriage Act?" That's a great question to which many people want an answer, especially in Wyoming. |

| While Florida Divests $2 Billion from BlackRock, Labor Dept. Allows 401(k) Managers to Pursue ESG |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis announced on Thursday that the state would pull over $2 billion worth of assets invested by woke asset manager BlackRock, Inc. The Florida Treasury would immediately remove $600 million in short-term investments and freeze $1.43 billion in longer-term investments, which will also be removed by the beginning of 2023. Patronis and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) announced plans to divest state funds from woke investments this summer, before both convincingly won reelection by nearly 20 percentage points. |
