U.S. Congress

More than 70 percent of GOP voters support the For the People Act in both Arizona and West Virginia, according to a new poll.

"We're all united.... The Democratic Party is destroying America," the Texas Republican told reporters.

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks her Republican colleague, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, is "deeply unwell," and "clearly needs some help," amid Greene's increasingly aggressive demands for a debate between the two.

Leadership isn't just about holding democracy violators accountable. It's also about doing the long hard work that is required to protect our democracy.

Syria's neighbors, many of whom detest Bashar al-Assad and funneled arms and money to their favorite rebel groups earlier in the war, now acknowledge he isn't going anywhere.

"Every member of Congress has had the opportunity to be vaccinated, and you have indicated about 75 percent have taken advantage of this opportunity," the letter said.

Marjorie Taylor Greene shouted at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outside the House chamber, calling her a "terrorist sympathizer."

The best way to protect the rights and health of the thousands of people needlessly detained is to release them.

America needs a Republican Party with a positive governing vision. Democracy can't work when one side just says no.

Liz Cheney is not headed for the political wilderness. She is destined for the history books.

It doesn't matter whether the enemies of democracy are foreign or domestic, born of a global virus or an all-American homegrown authoritarianism, let our generation be no less prepared than any other to take them on.

Greene wants Representative Liz Cheney out of her House leadership role but wants more time to decide on her replacement.

The federal government is preparing to dole out $350 billion to states and local governments—part of the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package Congress passed in March.

It's a vicious circle the U.S. has yet to escape: more defense spending tempts over-extension around the world, which in turn is used to justify even higher defense budgets in the future.

The White House hasn't signed onto the measure, and press secretary Jen Psaki noted that the payments "are not free."

It is imperative that space be deemed a strategic component of critical national infrastructure.

The only other woman in elected GOP leadership defended Cheney in a recent interview.

The Colorado representative also called the social media platform a monopoly.

"Yes, the attacks on @RepLizCheney have sexism behind them, but trying to replace her with a Trump approved woman is every bit as sexist, stupid, and offensive," Comstock tweeted on Tuesday.

The ad pokes fun at Republicans who want to remove Cheney from her GOP leadership position in the House.

"It would be nice, however, if the pundits and Fake News Media would state the real reason for this unprecedented (Democrats have never been shut out before) victory!" Trump said.

Cheney tweeted, "Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system."

At least 70 Democrats in the House and the Senate support recurring payments, and a Change.org petition has garnered more than 2 million signatures.

The $1.2 trillion gained by America's wealthiest would be enough for two more payments of $1,400 to every single American with change left to spare.

The Republican Texas senator said the president's speech to Congress seemed purely aimed at Democrats, which was one reason he "nodded off."

The London-based Tax Justice Network last year named the United States as the second-biggest enabler of financial secrecy worldwide, after the Cayman Islands and ahead of Switzerland.

"He is the person that Republicans want to put out front because of the problem of racism in this country and he knows that," she said of the South Carolina senator.

"What we're watching is a coup," the former Republican lawmaker baselessly claimed.

"We progressives refer to you as a victim of Stockholm Syndrome," Olbermann tweeted in response to the senator's rebuttal of President Joe Biden's address to Congress.

For the first time, there were women on both seats on the dais behind a president delivering an address to Congress.
