Marjorie Taylor Greene has been booted from the Maga-loving, far-right House Freedom Caucus after calling caucus member Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) “a little bitch” on the House floor last month.

“A vote was taken to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Freedom Caucus for some of the things she’s done,” Rep. Andy Harris (R-Colo.) told Politico’s Jordain Carney on Thursday.

“I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should use,” Harris said.

Trump may have just begun his battle in court, but some Republicans already think he’s losing the war. The day after the former president was arrested and arraigned on felony charges of falsifying business records, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced that he would be throwing his support for the 2024 Republican nomination behind yet undeclared Ron DeSantis.

“America needs a leader who is decisive, respects the Constitution, understands policy, puts family first, and leads by inspiring. That’s why I’m endorsing Ron DeSantis for President,” Massie wrote in a...

Some House Republicans had expected that their new subcommittee dedicated to probing the so-called “weaponization of the federal government” would have the same funding as the previous Congress’ efforts to investigate the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

In fact, House Judiciary Republicans have officially requested only a $2 million per year increase in the House Judiciary’s budget for the new subcommittee’s efforts, alongside a $15 million “reserve fund” that could be tapped in an ongoing manner. The $2 million starting point is smaller than what Democrats spent on their investigation...

Defund the government. It’s way too “woke.”

That’s the message from Russell Vought — a hard-right policy wonk and once a senior official in Donald Trump’s administration— who has been leading a behind-the-scenes charge among congressional Republicans. He’s “sprinting around Washington, spreading the gospel of budgetary anti-wokeism, ” as one source familiar with the effort characterizes it to Rolling Stone.

It’s part of a strategy Vought believes Republicans should adopt as the nation approaches the debt ceiling: Make the looming standoff with the Biden administration a showdown...

House Republicans elected Rep. Elise Stefanik to replace Rep. Liz Cheney as their House conference chair, the third top-ranking member of the caucus. Once a fierce Trump opponent known for bipartisanship, Stefanik pivoted during Trump’s impeachment to become one of his most avid defenders and a “rising star” in the party, according to the former president.

Stefanik even earned Trump’s support for the leadership position. When Rep. Chip Roy entered the race, the former president issued a statement of support for Stefanik. “Can’t imagine Republican House Members...

The House GOP Conference voted on Wednesday morning to boot Rep. Liz Cheney (R-wy) from her position as conference chairwoman, the number three position in the party’s leadership. The voice vote, held during a private meeting in the basement of the Capitol, was the second attempt to remove Cheney for her insufficient loyalty to former President Donald Trump this year. Cheney survived the first vote, in February, by a wide margin.

What changed between February and May? Cheney lost the support of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who continues...

Following Rep. Chip Roy’s comments during a hearing on Asian-American discrimination where he brought up “concerns” about “policing rhetoric in a free society,” “The View” co-host Ana Navarro blasted the politician, calling his comments “a reflection of a very stupid man, who somehow turned a hearing about Anti-Asian American hate into it being about himself and Texas.”

Navarro continued to openly bash Roy, asking incredulously, “how in the hell, when you’re in a hearing against discrimination, do you somehow manage to equate justice to lynching? It’s beyond human comprehension.” She went on to skewer him further, while also mocking the fact he couldn’t even be bothered to learn how to wear his mask correctly.

“But then you think, Ok. This man makes no sense, he’s truly stupid, he’s making it about himself, he’s now talking about policing rhetoric in the middle of this...

During a House Judiciary Committee meeting on the rise of violence and discrimination against Asian Americans during the pandemic, Democratic Rep. Grace Meng strongly denounced Texas’ Republican Rep. Chip Roy’s earlier remarks where he spoke glowingly of his state’s history of “lynchings” and whined about political correctness getting in the way of using racist language.

In the wake of the horrific Atlanta shootings where a gunman killed eight people, including six women of Asian descent, Roy decided to use his opening statement to explain how he takes “justice...

Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera says President Donald Trump was “brave” to offer well wishes to accused sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. And Rivera didn’t stop there, saying the pre-trial detention of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged procurer of underage girls is just “woke politics.”

In a soon-to-trend tweet this morning, Rivera wrote, “When asked @realDonaldTrump

said he wished #GhislaineMaxwellArrested well. With media mob eager to see her lynched it was brave to weigh in. Fact: cases vs her are for crimes allegedly committed more than 25 years ago. She deserved bail & got solitary confinement: woke politics.”

Maxwell was arrested on July 2 at her New Hampshire estate and charged on multiple counts of conspiracy and perjury in connection to an alleged sex-trafficking scheme involving three unnamed minors as young as 14 between 1994 and 1997. New York Judge Alison Nathan deemed Maxwell a flight risk due to her wealth and foreign connections and ordered that she...
