    GOP rep. apologizes after telling GOP colleague ‘go f--- yourself’

    Throughout his time on Capitol Hill, Rep. Darrell Issa has been known to rub some people the wrong way. In one especially memorable example from 2016, then-President Barack Obama publicly chided the California Republican for spending years recklessly going after him, only to pretend to be an Obama ally when running for re-election.

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska navigated the halls of Congress on Sunday, she dropped a bombshell in what would otherwise have been a perfunctory walk-and-talk media interview.  “I wish that, as Republicans, we had a nominee I could get behind," Murkowski told CNN's Manu Raju.

    The ‘Great Resignation’ continues as yet another GOP rep exits

    For months, whenever Rep. Mike Gallagher was in the news, the Wisconsin Republican’s name was invariably in the same sentence as “rising star.” There was no great mystery as to why. The congressman isn’t just a Princeton grad with a doctorate from Georgetown, he’s also a Marine veteran who served in Iraq.
