The decision to support Ukraine at all has angered conservatives in the House and given energy to a threat to remove Mike Johnson from the speaker’s office.

As Donald Trump campaigns to return to the White House, the House Administration subcommittee on oversight held the first of what is expected to be regular public hearings revisiting the official account.

In a remarkable turnaround, the Senate Republican leader said Donald Trump “has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for president.”

Focused on border security, Republicans in the House argue that Mayorkas has “refused to comply” with immigration laws resulting in the record surge of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

A surprise effort by hard-right House Republicans to impeach President Biden has been sidelined for now. But the ability of Rep. Lauren Boebert to force the issue demonstrates the challenge Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces in controlling his own majority.

The investigation appears to be far reaching, seeking to determine “whether Representative George Santos may have engaged in unlawful activity with respect to his 2022 congressional campaign” among other actions, the committee said in a statement.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was able to solidify party support against the Somali-born Muslim woman in the new Congress although some GOP lawmakers had expressed reservations.

Republican leaders have refused to take action against Santos, whose election helped give them a slim hold on the House majority.

Kevin McCarthy became the first House speaker nominee in 100 years to fail to win the gavel from his fellow party members on the initial vote.

Senate Democrats met behind closed doors at the Capitol to choose their leadership team for the new Congress that begins in January. The session was quick and upbeat, with no challengers.

Law enforcement officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 were honored Tuesday with Congressional Gold Medals nearly two years after confronting a brutal and bloody assault.

Emboldened House Democrats ushered in a new generation of leaders Wednesday, with Jeffries elected to be the first Black American to head a major political party in Congress.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she will not seek a leadership position in the new Congress, a pivotal realignment making way for a new generation of leaders.

The much slimmer, but not unsubstantial, compromise package of health care, climate change and deficit reduction strategies appears headed toward quick votes in Congress.

The legislation started as an election-season effort to confront the new Supreme Court majority after the court overturned abortion access in Roe v. Wade, raising concerns that other rights are at risk.
