ELISE STEFANIK

The website mocks the congresswoman's controversial ads echoing the "great replacement theory" in the wake of the Buffalo mass shooting.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have traveled to Buffalo, New York, to show solidarity with the community after a white supremacist targeted Black people at a supermarket and left 10 people dead.

President Joe Biden mourned with Buffalo’s grieving families on Tuesday, then exhorted the nation to reject what he angrily labeled the poison of white supremacy.

Americans are absorbing the aftermath of a weekend of violence that raked cities across the country.

Cheney blamed her party's leaders in the House for enabling "white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism."

The right’s embrace of the racist “replacement theory” endured even after a series of tragedies in which the shooter espoused it. Here's a timeline of how the party has dealt with such issues.

As Rep. Elise Stefanik has already shown. Once again, the media is cast as the oppressive force.

In the wake of the Buffalo supermarket shooting, Cheney is calling on Republican leaders to "renounce and reject" white supremacist views and those who hold them.

On Sunday, police identified them as three of the 10 victims killed during the massacre.

Investigators are still piecing together the motives of the mass shooter who killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, this weekend.

The No. 3 House Republican, who ran Facebook ads parroting the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, illustrates the radical turn taken by an increasing number of Republicans.

A spokesperson now claims she meant "children" grifters, not pedophile grifters, which still makes no sense.

But GOP leaders landed on an issue this week that it hopes could prove even more potent: tying President Joe Biden to a shortage in baby formula. Biden insisted there's “nothing more urgent we're working on” than addressing the shortage. The full-court press by Republicans included linking the formula shortage with the rising number of migrants coming into the U.S. — one of the biggest issues they have sought to lay at the feet of an unpopular president. In Washington, lawmakers are responding to the shortage by scheduling hearings and demanding information from the FDA and formula makers as part of sweeping investigations. Abbott is one of only a handful of companies that produce the vast majority of the U.S. formula supply, so their recall wiped out a large segment of the market.

The nationwide shortage of baby formula is quickly becoming the GOP's latest election-year attack on President Joe Biden.

Biden has taken to using the term “ultra-MAGA” to warn of Republican extremism. The term has caused bemusement among Democrats, and some Trump followers have embraced it.

Growing discontent over homelessness and crime in Portland is driving interest in a pair of congressional primaries.

It's been nearly two years since the House approved a resolution allowing lawmakers to vote-by-proxy.

Republicans are laying the groundwork to make Hunter Biden and his business dealings a central target of their investigative and oversight efforts.

Just seven Republicans, along with most Democrats, used remote voting in the House when voting-from-somewhere-else was first allowed two years ago as the pandemic erupted.

Nuclear war isn't just diplomacy continued by other means

FIRST ON FOX: Top Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) are warning that the United States is facing increased nuclear aggression from foes, and also calling out the Biden administration over its "far-left" energy policies that are being exposed by spiking gas prices and other side effects of the Russia-Ukraine war.

This year's guest list underscores how some GOP leaders are increasingly eager to move on from Trump.

Drone footage released on Sunday reportedly shows up to 1,000 migrants being held under a bridge in Mission, Texas, as the border crisis grows.

The House select committee’s task is to establish who knew what about the insurrection—but most Republicans don’t seem to want to find out.

Many pointed out the contradiction in celebrating the government programs, while arguing that expanding them would lead to "socialism."

Just as striking as the officers’ testimony today is GOP lawmakers’ refusal to engage with it.

Elise Stefanik claimed that Nancy Pelosi “bears responsibility” for the Capitol riot and accused the “drooling media” of being “too petrified” to question her about it.

Stefanik was echoing a talking point that has become central to the GOP's effort to whitewash the deadly insurrection and rewrite history.

In Washington, the so-called Doctors Caucus gathered at the Capitol for an event to combat vaccine hesitancy. Just 56.2% of Americans have received at least one vaccine dose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, the House Republican whip, distributed pictures of himself receiving his first dose of the vaccine last weekend after months of holding out. But the news conference convened by House GOP leaders on Thursday highlighted Republicans' competing messages on the virus. And Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a youth conservative advocacy group, suggested without evidence on his podcast that up to 1.2 million could have died after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

The crowded Republican primary for an open U.S. House seat in central Ohio is testing the ongoing political sway of former President Donald Trump as his choice in the race, a longtime coal lobbyist, is competing against candidates backed by other conservative leaders, movements and donors. The race in the sprawling GOP-leaning 15th Congressional District, which is gerrymandered to include all or part of 12 Ohio counties including parts of Columbus, also has seen endorsements by Republican groups backing women candidates, a powerful anti-abortion group and allies of the former president. Trump, who twice won the state by wide margins, has touted candidate Mike Carey as the best choice to succeed former U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers.

Scalise won't say whether his caucus will support or participate in a proposed select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. In a memo to all House Republicans late Tuesday, No. 2 House Republican Steve Scalise said the House panel “is likely to pursue a partisan agenda” in investigating the violent attack by former President Donald Trump's supporters, and he encouraged Republicans to vote against it. Almost three dozen House Republicans voted last month for the legislation to create an independent commission, which would have had an even partisan split among members. Seven Republicans in the Senate have also supported moving forward on that bill, but that was short of the 10 Senate Republicans who would be necessary to pass it.

Almost three dozen House Republicans voted last month for the legislation to create an independent commission, which would have had an even partisan split among members.

Republican participation in the investigation, and the appointments to the panel, could help determine whether the committee becomes a bipartisan effort or instead a hotbed of division. Almost three dozen House Republicans voted last month for the legislation to create an independent commission, which would have had an even partisan split among members. Seven Republicans in the Senate have also supported moving forward on that bill, but that was short of the 10 Senate Republicans who would be necessary to pass it.

House Republican leaders say they will oppose the creation of a select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.

Officer Michael Fanone has said for weeks that he wanted to meet with McCarthy, who has opposed a commission and remained loyal to former President Donald Trump. The meeting comes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday that she is creating a special committee to investigate the attack. She said a partisan-led probe was the only option left after Senate Republicans blocked legislation to form a bipartisan commission. Brian Sicknick collapsed and died after engaging with the mob; a medical examiner ruled that he died of natural causes. In addition to Sicknick, two police officers died by suicide in the days that followed.

WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders would like everyone to know that the nation is in crisis.

Elise Stefanik, whose loyalty to former president Donald Trump won her a leadership post in the House Republican caucus, announced on Twitter that she is expecting her first child. The post on Twitter and Instagram included a photo of Stefanik and her husband, Matthew Manda, patting her baby bump. After initially distancing herself from Trump, Stefanik has become one of the former president's fiercest defenders in the House.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) (Alex Brandon)WASHINGTON — (AP) — House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday he opposes a proposal to form an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, almost certainly eroding GOP support ahead of a vote. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee who drafted the proposal rejected that approach. McCarthy said that given the “shortsighted scope that does not examine interrelated forms of political violence in America, I cannot support this legislation." The GOP leader's opposition all but ensures this week's vote will have less Republican support in the House, and dims its chances in the evenly divided Senate.

Republicans solidly oppose the $15 minimum wage target as an expense that would hurt businesses and cost jobs. “House Democrats believe that the minimum wage hike is necessary. Therefore, this provision will remain in the" bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said. The relief bill would provide millions of people with $1,400 direct payments. Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia have state minimum wages that exceed the federal $7.25 hourly floor, with only the District of Columbia currently requiring a $15 minimum.

Congress' 535 members travel frequently between their homes and the capital, and many have said they feel vulnerable in their districts and when they travel. The House members asked for tightened security procedures. President Joe Biden is in “close touch” with Pelosi about congressional security, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

The National Football League said it will reconsider its donations but did not commit to suspending them. “We are re-evaluating our political giving policies through the Gridiron PAC,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told the AP in a statement Wednesday.

The Office of The Commissioner of Major League Baseball Political Action Committee has donated $669,375 to Senate and House candidates since the 2016 election cycle, with 52.4% of that money going to Republican candidates, according to The Center for Responsive Politics. Since the 2016 election cycle, MLB has made contributions to two senators and nine representatives who were among those opposing certification of Biden's victory.

This isnt a party convention, its a Trump convention, said Rory Cooper, a Republican strategist and former congressional staffer who opposes Trump. If Republicans lose the Senate in November, we should look back at this week as a lost opportunity to introduce the country to more GOP congressional candidates. Scalise made no direct reference to the GOP's faint hopes of regaining the House majority in November's elections.
