speaker is giving us an update right now on the shutdown. >> Tens of thousands of visitors here, family, you have school groups that come and visit. They they walk these grounds.Uh we have about 7,000 people who visit this capital each and every day. But today, that's not going to be the case. Today, America's boys and girls will walk up to these doors and they'll see something different, a sign that says closed until further notice.And that's because at midnight, the Democrats followed through on their thr ...

Well, we are going to go through the same motions we went through last night. Keep voting on two bills that don't have enough votes to pass. We'll take a break on Thursday, observe Yom Kippur, come back on Friday and see if things have shake it out at all.I'm advised that staff expects to be in and voting on Friday, maybe even over the weekend. There's a possibility that we could get this all wrapped up by Monday, but there is no bipartisanship to speak of, a lot of partisan rancor. And this this doesn't ha ...

We have a crisis in this country of men and boys. And for decades, candidly, we've neglected it because some of us have been scared to enter into the fray. Why was Charlie my first guest.Because I recognized his influence. and how many young men and boys heard the bell and and answered the bell in terms of organizing on campuses and supporting the dialogue and the organizational principles that Charlie uh Kirk was supporting and advancing. I think my party has not invested a much is as much energy as they s ...

Over the weekend roughly 20 governors of America’s states and territories gathered for a bipartisan meeting on public policy. The cross-party camaraderie on display felt otherworldly https://t.co/mKRYuDQ1TE ...

Morning everyone. Honored to be joined today by Whip Katherine Clark and caucus chair Pete Aguilar as we prepare to depart for the August district work period. The Trump administration and House Republicans have been a complete and total failure.These MAGA extremists promised that they were going to lower costs in the United States of America. In fact, they promised the American people that costs would go down on day one. But costs haven't gone down.They are on the way up. Inflation is up. It's the quality ...

In policy matters or Epstein conspiracy theories, says @mattyglesias, bipartisanship is generally better (via @opinion) https://t.co/x8I77wyRjB ...

Do you want to know what happens when bipartisanship goes out the window. Cuz we saw it a bunch of times this week in Washington. And before you say, "Who cares? Bipartisanship is dead anyway." It actually may seem that way, but the only way that Congress actually works is when people work together.It's why the founders set thresholds like twothirds of a majority in the House or 60 votes in the Senate. They were banking on close margins that would force folks to work together because the people who elected ...

Because Congress was busy for the first time in American history doing a completely partisan recisions bill. Just hours after the Senate, the House voted to approve President Trump's $9 billion spending cut package. The bill claws back billions in previously approved congressional funding.Two Republicans joined all House Democrats in voting against it. The majority of the cuts, $8 billion, comes from foreign assistance programs such as migration and refugee assistance, as well as USAD. Another $1.1% billion ...

Yes, thank you so much for having us. It's such an honor to be here. So, the future summit is an annual event put on by Future Caucus, which they have chapters all over the country and various state legislators as well as congressional membership with a goal of breaking down the partisan divide to honestly get work done.So, it's something I've been a part of for the past couple of years. I'm the co-chair of the Vermont Future Caucus chapter. And you have the same role in your state's um future caucus.So tel ...
