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.

Wednesday, 05 February 2025 23:06

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) fell twice on Wednesday ― once leaving the Senate chamber and again inside a closed-door Republican conference lunch just minutes later.

The 82-year-old former Senate GOP leader, a childhood polio survivor, is using a wheelchair as a precautionary measure after the pair of spills at the U.S. Capitol.

“Senator McConnell is fine. The lingering effects of polio in his left leg will not disrupt his regular schedule of work,” a McConnell spokesperson said in a statement to HuffPost.

Congress puts hold on Trump’s $1 billion arms sale to Israel

Tuesday, 04 February 2025 23:04

Hold put on arms sale to Israel Congress has placed a hold on a $1 billion arms sale package for Israel that was readied alongside President Trump welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington on Tuesday.

Two congressional aides told The Hill on Tuesday that a hold has been placed on the arms sale package. The Wall Street Journal first reported the hold, saying Democratic lawmakers had exercised a hold.

The four top lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have the power to individually block arms sales orders when over a certain dollar amount.

Netanyahu is the first foreign leader to visit Trump since he returned to the White House, generally a recognition of the importance of the relationship. A hold on arms sales to Israel signals a major flouting of convention, where U.S. military support for Israel is viewed as an investment in American national security.

Senate Confirms Pam Bondi As Attorney General

Tuesday, 04 February 2025 22:58

The Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general Tuesday evening, putting a longtime ally of Donald Trump at the helm of a Justice Department that has already been rattled by the firings of career employees seen as disloyal to the Republican president.

The vote fell almost entirely along party lines, with only Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, joining with all Republicans to pass her confirmation 54-46.

Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and corporate lobbyist, is expected to oversee a radical reshaping of the department that has been the target of Trump’s ire over the criminal cases it brought against him. She enters with the FBI, which she will oversee, in turmoil over the scrutiny of agents involved in investigations related to the president, who has made clear his desire to seek revenge on his perceived adversaries.

Tuesday, 04 February 2025 20:26

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) has called for the deportation Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a U.S. citizen, to her birth country of Somalia.

“America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,” Gill wrote Tuesday on the social platform X.

Thirty minutes later, in another post, Gill wrote that “we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”

Omar came to the U.S. as a refugee in 1995 and became a naturalized citizen at 17 years old in 2000.
