One Republican has proposed legislation to force the military to rehire troops who were kicked out over President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Another would bar the government from doing business with banks that won’t serve firearms manufacturers. Still another would strip funding from cities or states that let noncitizens vote in elections.

A week into legislative business, the most popular bill so far isn’t on abortion or guns or immigration.
