Plan to skewer US sanctuary city mayors backfires on Republicans

Wednesday, 05 March 2025 23:53

A congressional hearing designed to criticize sanctuary city policies unexpectedly shifted on Wednesday, as a planned attack by Republican lawmakers instead dissolved into a platform that amplified Democratic mayors’ arguments about immigration and urban safety.

Before a packed room on Capitol Hill, the House oversight committee, led by its Republican chair, James Comer of Kentucky, sought to portray sanctuary cities – a city that touts municipal laws that protect undocumented migrants – as havens for criminal activity and foreign gangs.

Wednesday, 05 March 2025 19:02

Democratic U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner of Texas has died two months after taking office and hours after attending President Donald Trump’s address before Congress in Washington, D.C., officials and his family said on Wednesday. He was 70.

While attending Trump’s speech to Congress, Turner was taken to a hospital and later released, Turner’s family said in a statement.

Turner’s family said that at 5:45 a.m. Wednesday, “he died at his home from enduring health complications.”

Rep. Al Green removed from chamber after shouting at Trump during speech

Tuesday, 04 March 2025 23:28

The Texas Democrat stood and interrupted Trump at the start of the speech as he started speaking, “You don’t have a mandate,” Green began before Republicans stood and drowned him out with jeers and a chant of “USA.” House Speaker Mike Johnson warned the congressman before calling for him to be removed.

“Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions. That’s your warning,” Johnson told the room before addressing the Texas Democrat. “Mr. Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir.”

AOC Asks DOJ If She’s Under Investigation For Informing People Of Their Rights

Friday, 28 February 2025 23:58

AOC Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking if she is under federal investigation for informing people of their rights on Thursday. The congresswoman released the letter publicly on Friday.

Ocasio-Cortez’s letter follows public statements by White House border czar Tom Homan that the congresswoman should be investigated for hosting an online “know your rights” seminar to inform the public of their rights when confronted by immigration officers.

“I sent an email today to the deputy attorney general,” Homan said on Fox News on Feb. 13. “At what level is that impediment? Is that impediment? I’m not an attorney; I’m not a prosecutor. Is that impediment? Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? If so, what are we gonna do about it? Is she crossing the line? So, I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out. Where is that line that they cross? So, maybe AOC’s gonna be in trouble now.”

It is not known whether Homan actually sent an email to the Justice Department or, if he did, what he asked in it.

House Republicans advance plan for Trump's legislative agenda in dramatic turnaround

Tuesday, 25 February 2025 22:56

Mike Johnson – The House voted 217-215 to advance the GOP plan for President Donald Trump's legislative agenda Tuesday, after an all-day whip effort convinced a few Republican holdouts to come on board in a dramatic last-minute turnaround.

It was the first major test of the House Republican conference, which seeks to pass Trump's priorities for border, energy and taxes through one of the narrowest legislative margins in modern American history, and a gauntlet for House Speaker Mike Johnson as he sought to keep his members united.

Trump had endorsed the House's plan to roll all of his campaign promises into one "big, beautiful bill," and it was on Johnson to deliver the votes necessary to unlock the process to pass it.

Johnson could only lose one Republican vote and still succeed. After nearly two hours on the House floor whipping votes, Johnson appeared to have failed and canceled the vote before abruptly calling members back to the chamber. The proposal passed around 8:25 p.m.

Republicans Downplay Medicaid Cuts Amid Town Hall Voter Backlash

Tuesday, 25 February 2025 18:17

Mike Johnson Republicans are feeling the sting of voter anger at recent town hall meetings where lawmakers’ constituents complained about Elon Musk slashing the government and the House GOP’s plan to cut Medicaid.

At their first press conference back in the Capitol after a weeklong recess, House Republican leaders dubiously insisted that their budget resolution won’t touch Medicaid and that the town hall attendees lacked a legitimate grievance.

“Videos of protesters yelling at members of Congress went viral, right? But the content focused on the confrontation, not the why. Some of the people that hijacked those town halls are happy with the bloated status quo,” said Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.).

Mitch McConnell won’t seek Senate re-election in 2026

Thursday, 20 February 2025 22:42

Senator Mitch McConnell announced he will not run for re-election next year, bringing an end to a decades-long career for a Republican leader who marshaled his party through multiple administrations with a singleminded focus on power that enraged his critics and delighted his allies.

The Associated Press broke the news of McConnell’s retirement on Thursday, which marked the Republican senator’s 83rd birthday. McConnell formally announced his retirement in a Senate floor speech on Thursday.

“Seven times, my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate,” McConnell said.
