Republican lawmakers are stepping in to personally protect some people who are facing deportation — despite saying they support Trump’s immigration crackdown notus.org/immigration/re…

Congress is short on time to get 12 appropriations bills through to fund the government. It requires bipartisan compromise, but Senate Democrats told me they can't trust their Republican colleagues to play fair in light of the Trump admin's rhetoric. notus.org/congress/democ…

Trump’s close connections to Jeffrey Epstein make it all the more incredible that people like Joe Rogan and Theo Von never thought to ask him about that when they interviewed him for hours.

Oh so it’s *bad* bad.

“The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the…

“Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret”

New: While a Rules Committee meeting has been set for 6 p.m. Thursday, that’s no guarantee Republicans will move forward immediately. If the hearing goes smoothly, Republicans could get the House onto the rescission bill by late Thursday night. If it doesn’t, the next 30 hours…

We're at that part of a congressional session where a lot of House members hate their colleagues, even (particularly, in some cases) members of their own party. They need that August recess bad, and this story shows it. notus.org/congress/house…

The House of Representatives under Speaker Mike Johnson and a Recess Subject to Call of the Chair.

Plenty of Republicans are fed up with Freedom Caucus antics. But the HFC is bullish there’s a method to their madness. “The only way to get things in this town is to demand the moon and then take somewhere in between,” Chip Roy told me. notus.org/congress/house…

I am simply saying it’s worth a read. notus.org/congress/house…

A really interesting story about the frustration Republicans are feeling toward the Freedom Caucus. As Rep. Derrick Van Orden said, the group is "not becoming frustrating; it’s been frustrating for the last two-plus years." notus.org/congress/house…

Should make passing appropriations bills even easier…

Russ Vought at confirmation hearing: "I hope... that we can have a bipartisan spending process of which I look forward to participating in if confirmed" Vought today: "The appropriations process has to be less bipartisan."

The appropriations process was already broken. Rescissions may have just made things worse "To just have all that thrown out with a rescission...why do we even have an appropriations process?" - Peters "It will undermine our trust" - Van Hollen notus.org/congress/appro…

The way Congress has operated this year has been a real trip for me, a reporter who started covering Congress during the #ReadTheBill Tea Party days when the three-day rule was something voters and lawmakers said they cared about.

For what it's worth, every minute Republicans delay taking up the rescission bill, the easier it becomes for Democrats to delay the bill and go past the midnight deadline on Friday. At this point, how long would Hakeem Jeffries have to speak to kill the bill?

Look, mistakes were made.

Surely THIS will calm down the conspiracy theories.
