House Republicans are scrapping the last two weeks the chamber was scheduled to be in session before the midterm elections.

In a split decision Monday, the Supreme Court ruled construction of the White House ballroom could continue, saying the group bringing the lawsuit lacks standing to challenge the project and the government is likely to prevail.

MANCHESTER, N.H. – The last competitive Democratic House primary of the year hasn’t been shaped much by the centrist vs. progressive narrative that has dotted intraparty contests around the country this year. What’s more noticeable is how the crowded contest for New Hampshire’s 1st District seat being vacated by Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas has turned […]
Wild horses roaming the untamed West have become a symbol of the American frontier. But through gaps in existing policy, many still find themselves in slaughter pipelines across both the southern and northern borders each year. Advocates are calling on Congress to change that and codify protections for wild mustangs and burros into federal law, […]
Those who’ve fought on Capitol Hill to rein in social media platforms see last week’s settlement between Meta and state attorneys general not as a final destination, but as a roadmap to what’s possible.

As anger mounts over the impacts of data centers, Republicans are wrestling with legislation that would address concerns over increased electricity and water demand that many voters associate with higher utility bills.

ANALYSIS — Despite adverse political conditions, Republicans still have an opportunity to hold both the House and the Senate this fall. But it’s also possible that the bottom will fall out from under them, leading to heavy GOP losses reminiscent of an election 20 years ago. Back in 2006, there was an unpopular Republican president […]
For Rep. Thomas Massie, time is running out in his latest effort to extract more files from the Justice Department related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

While the Florida Democrat resigned from Congress months ago amid a […]
Democrats received some good news on the redistricting front Thursday, with a pair of favorable rulings from the supreme courts of Missouri and Maryland.

Rep. Everton Blair mugs for the cameras in the Capitol on Tuesday before his ceremonial swearing in. The Georgia Democrat won the special election on Aug. 25 to replace Rep. David Scott, who died on April 22, in the 13th District.
In the past, when I told people who expressed the slightest interest that my commentary focused on the intersection of politics, culture and race, many seemed puzzled by that particular mix. Not anymore. It’s pretty obvious how all those topics are related. We’re reminded of it every day. Mention the John F. Kennedy Center for […]
The House on Tuesday adopted a resolution denouncing “socialism in all its forms,” boosting a Republican messaging push just two months before the midterm elections. It also calls for passage of a GOP-backed voter ID bill — language that further diminished Democratic support for the measure, even among lawmakers who otherwise agreed with its underlying […]
