This dangerous denial of economic realities and deflection of accountability represents a profound betrayal of the American people who deserve honest leadership.
A special House election in Houston is heading to a January runoff between Democrats Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards, leaving Democrats one vote short in Congress for two additional months.

A federal magistrate judge has rebuked prosecutor Lindsey Halligan for apparent errors in the grand jury proceedings against former FBI director James Comey, raising the possibility of government misconduct requiring dismissal of charges.

The Senate passed legislation to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history after eight Democrats broke party ranks to support a spending package that omitted their key healthcare subsidy demand. This heartbreaking capitulation demonstrates how political expediency has tragically undermined both principled governance and the well-being of millions of vulnerable Americans.
