Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: The U.S. House passes HR 1526, restricting district rogue court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions against presidential policies. 7:00 PM · Apr 9, 2025

Florida state Sen. Randy Fine (R) was projected to win the special election for Florida’s 6th Congressional District on Tuesday, according to Decision Desk HQ, defeating Democrat Josh Weil in what became a closely contested race in the deep-red district. Fine’s win will come as a relief for Republicans, who grew increasingly worried about the race as Weil overperformed Fine in fundraising and some polling going into Election Day. A Democratic victory in the district, which stretches from South Daytona to St. Augustine, would have been a political earthquake. President Trump and national security adviser Michael Waltz, who previously held...

"We're gonna have hearing on all of that. Judge Boasberg - it starts to look like it's totally political." "You got this judge making this crazy decision - 'turn the plane around, bring the bad guys back to America.'" - @Jim_Jordan Jordan says Sen. @ChuckGrassley may also hold hearings.

Friday, February 21, 2025 Walberg: People who can't afford a $200 Passport, "they shouldn't be voting" (audio) Link to Audio: https://youtu.be/0nyXqHWegxs A constituent provided me raw audio of Walberg's event in Bedford Township yesterday, and gave me permission to share it publicly. I have posted it unedited to YouTube (link above) against a background photo that was also taken at that event, with a portion of my transcript of a standout moment from that event. I think Walberg is getting worse. He's incredibly rude to constituents throughout that audio. Walberg says grotesque, divisive, and cruel things constantly. He says nonsensical...

The US House of Representatives passed a resolution Tuesday condemning Joe Bide for causing the “worst immigration-border security crisis in American history.” Fourteen Democrats joined Republicans in the vote condemning Joe Biden and this intentional national crisis. Here are the 14 Democrats who voted with Republicans on the resolution condemning Joe Biden and his open border policies.

House lawmakers announced that they would hold a public hearing in the “next phase” of their impeachment inquiry into President Biden after his son Hunter Biden provided testimony on Wednesday. “I think that the public hearing hopefully will clear up some discrepancies between some of the statements that were made between some of the associates and what we heard today,” said House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, the Kentucky Republican leading the impeachment inquiry.Mr. Comer said the president’s son provided contradictory statements.“So, this impeachment inquiry will now go to the next phase, which will be a public hearing,”...

Far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib was officially censured last night in a 234-188 vote, with 22 Democrats joining Republicans, and four Republicans voting against the censure. Four lawmakers also voted “present.” Tlaib was censured after she used the anti-Israel slogan “from the river to the sea,” a reference to the desire for Palestine to control the entirety of Israel’s territory from the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The same leftists accusing Israel of “genocide” came up with some creative interpretations of the slogan in an attempt to sanitize its genocidal intent. Among those Republicans who voted against the censure was...

A large coalition of House Republicans led by Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., introduced a resolution Thursday condemning Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham over her now-blocked gun carry ban. The GOP resolution would condemn Lujan Grisham in response to her emergency order last week which suspended concealed and open carry in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the surrounding Bernalillo County for at least 30 days. Republicans, some Democrats and Second Amendment advocates have heavily criticized Lujan Grisham, arguing the order infringes on Americans' constitutional rights. "The shocking move from Governor Grisham is a blatant subversion of the U.S. Constitution and...

Speaker McCarthy and the GOP majority in the US House made a number of promises as this session of Congress began. Will this Congress act or will they pull a Lindsey Graham? In 2018 Senator Lindsey Graham promised to get to the bottom of the Mueller exam. The DOJ and FBI committed crimes in attempting a coup of the Trump Administration. Graham promised to get to who was behind this unconstitutional and criminal effort. But he lied. He never had any intention of digging into Obamagate and all the crimes that took place before the 2016 election and into the...

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, 36, divulged this week that her 17-year-old son will make her a grandmother next month. Boebert was caught on video by Patriot Takes speaking at an event hosted by the conservative group Moms for America when she shared the news that son Tyler and his girlfriend are expecting a son. 'So I'm going to tell you all for the first time in a public setting, that not only am I a mom of four boys, but come April I will be a gigi to a brand new grandson. And Jason and I are so excited to...

Kevin McCarthy for Speaker expects a written offer between McCarthy and his opponents to be completed Thursday night, Punchbowl News reported.

Democratic groups poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the final two weeks of Maloney's race in a last-minute attempt to win. New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman, conceded defeat Wednesday in a phone call to Republican challenger Mike Lawler, a spokesperson for Maloney's campaign said Wednesday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Monday that she is extending proxy voting for the House of Representatives through at least May 14 despite Capitol officials easing other coronavirus restrictions. Proxy voting, which can only be approved for 45 days at a time under proxy voting rules established in May 2020, was set to expire at the end of this month had Pelosi not extended it again. For each extension, Pelosi has been required to obtain confirmation from the House sergeant-at-arms and the Capitol physician that the COVID pandemic still warrants a public health emergency. The rule was initially designed...

As a 20-year member of Congress and four-year Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, let me speak bluntly and directly. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the greatest threat to constitutional liberty in our lifetime. With the passive support of an apparently cowardly caucus, she is behaving as a dictator more like Fidel Castro, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, or Nicolás Maduro.Pelosi ordered and kept the fencing around the U.S. Capitol for months – even when members of her own party were calling for it to come down. She stripped a duly elected Republican of all her committee assignments. In recent weeks,...

Mark Twain once mused that if you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. There will be no pause or reflection by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the Capitol. That became abundantly plain as the hearings opened on Tuesday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi won’t allow it. Her narrative of what happened that terrible day will be the only one permitted – all other facts be damned. Pelosi’s Democratic Party is the majority in the House of Representatives, albeit narrowly. As Speaker, she rules like a tyrant. She...
