Malliotakis Leaves Caucus Over Museum Bill

Staten Island Rep. Nicole Malliotakis is exiting the Bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus after her Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum bill stalled — blocked by Democratic opposition over amendments they called “poison pills,” including a biological women-only provision. With no Democratic votes and six GOP dissenters, the bill died. Malliotakis called the caucus a “one-way street,” insisting a women’s history museum should include all women — a stance that underscores the deepening partisan divide. Though she vows to keep crossing party lines, the museum’s defeat signals growing friction in bipartisan efforts. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
