    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. But it’s not just Democrats who occasionally get annoyed with Issa. At a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing about the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, members...

  • The GOP Is Too Scared to Let South Dakota Vote on Abortion

    Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade nearly two years ago, supporters of the right to choose have won every ballot initiative, in every state, in which an abortion-related measure has been put before voters. The trend is as true in red states like Kansas and Kentucky as it is in blue California and Vermont, […]

    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. On Capitol Hill, GOP leaders tapped the conservative young congressman to chair a House select committee on China, and by most accounts, Gallagher has received positive reviews from members of...

  • The House GOP's margin for error is shrinking to just one vote

    Ouch. House Speaker Mike Johnson's ultra-skinny margin for error will soon shrink to just a single vote after his preferred candidate failed to lock down a critical vacant seat in a special election this week. That vacant seat, incidentally, belonged to none other than Kevin McCarthy, who decided to make Johnson's already impossible life even more difficult by resigning after far-right renegades booted him from the speakership. Yet both McCarthy and Johnson united behind Assemblyman Vince Fong...

  • Lauren Boebert joins the GOP chorus celebrating funding they voted against

    If there’s one thing Republicans love more than obstructing progress, it’s obstructing progress while taking credit for the goodies that flow from the thing they tried to obstruct. Every Democrat-proposed infrastructure bill is a communist, Marxist takeover of America—until their district gets the cash, which immediately transforms into the wholesome fruit of their hard work, grit, and rugged individualism. And in the case of Republicans like Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, that’s true even—you...
