House Democrats on Saturday blocked Speaker Mike Johnson’s modified border security measure, voting to defeat the bill as lawmakers considered a broad foreign aid package alongside it. The End the Catastrophe at the Southern Border Act required at least two-thirds support to pass but came nowhere near that threshold. The House killed the legislation 215-199. […]
Key Democrats revealed new legislation Friday that would strip former President Donald Trump of his Secret Service agents if he is convicted and sentenced to prison. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said it’s about making sure Mr. Trump doesn’t get special treatment for whatever crime he might […]
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the lone Republican in the House to vote against a resolution that condemned Iran’s attack on Israel. He joined the likes of Squad members and other far-left Democrats.

House Democrats released an agenda Thursday that includes a vow to codify a right to so-called gender-affirming care—transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers. The promise came within the Congressional Progressive Caucus’ agenda, which House Democrats first shared with NBC News.
