Long-simmering tensions within the House GOP are poised to inflame as members of Congress find themselves in the throes of the election season. Ideological, political and even personal differences that have seen Republicans’ razor-thin House majority wracked with chaos in the 118th Congress are now manifesting in lawmakers endorsing primary challengers against their incumbent colleagues. ‘I think every member should worry about their own race and not get involved in other people’s races,’ Rep. Will...

And...

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) condemned the fiery House hearing after Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Marjorie Taylor Greene traded barbs, saying that members needed to show decorum. ‘It’s not a good look for Congress,’ Johnson told reporters on Friday. The Republican speaker chided both parties, saying that while ‘vigorous debate’ was welcomed, ‘we have to treat one another with dignity and respect.’ ‘Decorum is an important principle to maintain,’ he said. ‘And we need people on...

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., called on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from any cases related to the 2020 election on Friday following a revelation that an upside-down flag was flown at his home a week after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.  ‘Flying an upside-down American flag — a symbol of the so-called ‘Stop the Steal’ movement — clearly creates the appearance of bias,’ said Durbin in a...

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Marjorie Taylor Greene had a heated exchange Thursday evening during what was supposed to be a contempt hearing for Attorney General Merrick Garland.  The House Oversight Committee had originally been convened to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena to hand over an audio recording of President Biden’s interview with a special counsel.  The hearing quickly spiraled out of control, with lawmakers bickering with...

Multiple people said he rode with Trump in his motorcade on Tuesday morning. ‘I came here…...

Trump is expected to announce his vice-presidential pick during the GOP convention, which begins on July 15.  ‘I don’t say anything is 100%, but you’re getting pretty close,’ Trump said of selecting his running mate. ‘I’ll...

While some of my more conservative friends don’t like it, I have always been a fan of James Carville.  I deeply respect his service to our nation in the U.S. Marine Corps and admire the fact that he got his degree from LSU at night while working during the day.  I enjoy his political analysis because he has walked the walk quite successfully over the years, and I especially like the fact that he had...
