"Speaker Johnson has been on the job for what, two or three weeks now?" Good continued. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., said he'll support the CR today and wondered aloud about criticism of the bill focused on the fact that Democrats plan to support it. The tensions on Capitol Hill are hitting their peak after a long period in session. The House has been working for 10 weeks straight, an unusually long time without a break, and several of them were spent on an ugly fight over the speaker's gavel.

Schumer takes step allowing him to bring Jan. 6 bill to the floor as early as next week

"I thank my ranking member John Katko, for being an honorable person in this process. He took a lot of heat, but he said I support it because it's the right thing to do," Thompson. The lawmaker praised Republican Rep. John Katko of New York for working with him to strike a deal to create the commission. The Democrat said that when creating the legislation, they accepted what House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy wanted in the proposal because they "just want to get to the facts." That first vote — which has not been scheduled — would require 60 votes since a Republican is certain to object. Notably, a majority of Republicans present and voting opted against the measure.

House Approves Long-Stalled Ukraine Aid Over Angry GOP Objections.

His administration brokered a deal that would have had U.S. corporations Oracle and Walmart take a large stake in TikTok. The sale never went through for a number of reasons; one was China, which imposed stricter export controls on its technology providers. Pelosi strongly suggested today that she would approve a select committee in the House to investigate what led to the Jan. 6 insurrection if a vote to form the commission fails in the Senate. Thirty-five Republicans voted against the direction of their leadership, which had strongly urged them to vote no on the measure. He also said it’s important to get to the bottom of the attack that day while saying that Republicans realize that Democrats want to drag this out to bolster their political fortunes. "I am also very happy that our ranking member was able to do a bipartisan and get some concession from the Democrats. That's why I voted for this."

Republican lawmakers, in turn, are considering putting one or more competing abortion proposals on the November ballot. The civil-war era law had been blocked since the US supreme court’s 1973 Roe v Wade decision guaranteed the constitutional right to an abortion nationwide. Some Republicans were critical of their colleagues’ move to side with Democrats in repealing the ban.

'When did bipartisanship become bad?' one Republican asks

There’s a little bit of San Fernando Valley to the south, a big chunk of Antelope Valley to the north, but the heart of this district is Santa Clarita. This is a historically conservative valley, populated by the “white flight” out of Los Angeles proper in the 1970s and domicile to many a suburb-seeking cop. But few places are as emblematic of the suburban shift away from the Republican Party during the Trump years as this part of northern Los Angeles County. Democrats and abortion-rights groups celebrated the vote as an important move toward undoing what they called a draconian intrusion into women’s rights. The 1864 law outlaws abortions from the moment of conception except to save the mother’s life, and it makes no exceptions for cases of rape or incest. The proposed constitutional amendment would guarantee abortion rights until a fetus could survive outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks.

It’s impossible to know how many of Stein’s voters might have voted for Hillary Clinton, but the claim that she cost Clinton the election is at least plausible. The wide variation underscores the problem pollsters face in measuring Kennedy voters. His backers come from both the left and the right and disagree widely on many issues. Disaffected people are inherently hard to poll — they tend not to readily respond to surveys — and hard to predict in terms of turnout.

The U.S. might ban TikTok. Record labels are cutting ties. What’s music’s Plan B?

The House’s overwhelming vote to ban TikTok unless it is freed from Chinese control suggests that a ban might be coming soon. TikTok has lobbied hard against the legislation, pushing the app’s 170 million U.S. users — many of whom are young — to call Congress and voice opposition. But the ferocity of the pushback angered lawmakers on Capitol Hill, where there is broad concern about Chinese threats to the U.S. and where few members use the platform themselves. "How can you have a bipartisan commission with an all Democrat staff?" Bishop asked. In criticizing the bill to establish a Jan. 6 commission, North Carolina Republican Rep. Dan Bishop claimed "what was an image of a bipartisan commission has now become one more partisan attack." "That's one of the great things about our party and the leader in particular. I have been able to break ranks with my party on a number of issues unlike the Democrats who don't break ranks at all," Gimenez said.

House Republicans have been calling for Biden’s impeachment since Trump left office in 2021. One day after the president’s inauguration, then-freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) filed the first impeachment articles against Biden. She and other far-right lawmakers and GOP operatives have tried connecting the president with his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings. Though Hunter Biden is under federal indictment for unrelated crimes, House investigators have not produced evidence to charge the president with malfeasance. House Republicans on Wednesday voted to formalize an impeachment inquiry against President Biden, intensifying their investigation into unproven allegations that the president benefited from his son’s overseas business dealings. The House just voted to approve legislation to create an independent and bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

He's already a lame duck, he can't raise money, everyone knows it,” Greene claimed. “I'm pretty sure one will come to the floor, if he doesn't resign at some point, but we're trying to avoid that,” he said. Ukrainian servicemen told CNN the US House vote to approve military aid provides a much-needed shot in the arm. "US security aid [to Israel] constitutes a dangerous escalation and aggression against the Palestinian people," Abu Rudeineh added.

After trashing the idea of a two-step strategy to fund the government, House Democrats signaled Monday that they are open to backing Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan, significantly lowering the threat of a painful shutdown at the end of the week. "The world is watching what the Congress does. Passing this legislation would send a powerful message about the strength of American leadership at a pivotal moment," the White House budget office said in a statement Friday endorsing the House package. "The Administration urges both chambers of the Congress to quickly send this supplemental funding package to the President’s desk." Whether or not we can avoid a government shutdown solely depends on a small number of Senate Republicans, and whether they will drag this out through the weekend,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said on MSNBC. Several swing-district House Republicans praised Speaker Mike Johnson for pushing forward with the foreign aid bills and attacked his detractors.

Once presumed to be a Republican stronghold, the steretoype of a community full of anti-communist Cold Warriors hasn’t rung true for a while. Democrats now outnumber Republicans here, though turnout still tends to favor the GOP. Starting on the Valley side of the Tehachapis, the district runs east of downtown Bakersfield before spanning northward all the way to Tulare, Hanford and Kettleman City. If the map looks familiar, it’s because it’s almost identical to the state Senate’s 16th District. The demographics are also similar — roughly 60% of the population here is Latino — though this district swings a bit more consistently Democratic. Many abortion providers in the state had vowed to continue providing the procedure until the ban went into effect.

"Here’s what I’ve said about Speaker Johnson. He did not set the table. He did not cause the situation that has come to pass," Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., said. "We’re going to have to get through it. But we need something better than this." When a reporter responded that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted because he worked with Democrats on the last funding bill, Van Orden cut in. That’s important for a large proportion of Americans, as about 67 million people receive monthly Social Security benefits, according to the Social Security Administration. Those benefits go primarily to retirees but also to people with disabilities, as well as dependents of deceased beneficiaries.

But in a throwback appeal to the district’s anti-Communist roots, she’s also suggested that Chen, a longtime Navy reservist and the son of Taiwanese immigrants, would be soft on the Chinese Communist Party. She picked up her congressional seat in 2020, in part by running on her opposition to Gov. Newsom’s COVID-19 mandates. California’s independent redistricting commission was tasked with keeping “communities of interest” together to magnify their political power. Though the advantage is still probably Calvert’s, his opponent, Rollins ticks two important boxes for Democrats. First, he’s a former federal prosecutor who helped work on at least one Jan. 6 riot case. That resume likely inoculates him against the charge of being “soft on crime,” while also giving Rollins an extra reason to bash Calvert for his decision to vote against the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

LSC is funded by federal appropriation and the amount of the investment will determine the number of Americans in need that LSC will be able to assist. Each year, LSC provides grants to local nonprofits who together provide legal services to low-income individuals throughout the United States from approximately 900 offices nationwide, stretching from urban centers to small towns. However, despite 94% of federal dollars going directly toward eligible nonprofits delivering civil legal aid, the need for legal assistance is outpacing LSC's funding. Reproductive rights advocates say the issue has mobilized voters and report that people are seeking out signature-gatherers and asking about locations where their friends and family can sign to put abortion access on the ballot. If the proposed repeal is signed into law by the Democratic governor, Katie Hobbs, a 2022 statute banning the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy would become the prevailing abortion law. A week ago, one Republican in the Arizona house joined 29 Democrats to bring the repeal measure to a vote, but the effort failed twice on votes.

An Orange County Republican leader and former Assemblymember, Baugh has a reputation for sharp-elbowed campaign tactics, which he recently put to use helping to defeat Republican Tyler Diep, an Assembly moderate. Few members of Congress have attained the profile that Democrat Porter has captured in her four short years on the national stage. A consumer bankruptcy law professor and a protégé of progressive icon Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Porter exhibited an early knack for eviscerating titans of finance and corporate CEOs while on the House Financial Services Committee. That won the hearts of progressives and populists across the nation and turned her into one of Congress’ most formidable fundraisers. But Porter’s progressive cred has always been an odd fit for Central Orange County, even if the region’s voters are shifting away from the GOP.

From Seal Beach in the north to Laguna Beach in the south, the district traces the mostly affluent, mostly well-educated, once-Republican but now somewhat less so coast of Orange County. It also pops inland to take in Irvine, with its predictably left-leaning campus community. This district runs from Brea and Fullerton in north Orange County, out east to “Little India” in Artesia, before heading south to the center of the region’s political gravity in Westminster and Garden Grove — Little Saigon.
