The current Republican majority in the House is hanging by a thread. House Republicans have no votes to spare, and their margin for error has become even smaller after Democrats scored an expected victory in a special election for the House of Representatives in Texas. No Speaker of the House will appear in the media and admit that he is about to lose his majority in the upcoming midterm elections. Johnson continues to express positivity about the midterm elections as all signs point to a potential growing Democratic explosion. At a time when the American people are most concerned about…

The mainstream media has picked up on the Trump administration’s myth that they handed over all the documents from the Epstein files. Jamie Raskin, a ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, said the Trump administration has turned over only half of the documents and that of the documents that have been released, hundreds of thousands of pages have been redacted. Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Feb. 11, and Raskin and Democrats on the committee want to review the unredacted records before her appearance.Raskin wrote to the DOJ:Our review is particularly…
Pete Buttigieg is almost certain to be a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. Buttigieg is one of those candidates who, in my opinion, is hurt by the largely closed system of Democratic primaries and caucuses, much further to the left than the general electorate which leans toward Democratic candidates. Add to that Buttigieg’s current lack of appeal among non-white Democrats voting in primaries, and as a candidate he has some areas that need improvement.PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any special interest, corporation, or political party.

Because Republicans in the House refuse to do anything, Speaker Mike Johnson has created a huge problem for himself and his party. The Senate’s deal to pass four of five government funding bills but leave the Department of Homeland Security out, while only giving DHS a two-week CR, created a problem for Johnson.PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent. Support us by becoming a subscriber.Because the Senate changed the process after the House passed DHS funding, the two-week CR must return to the House. Since votes on the rules have become political mines for House Republican leaders, Johnson must find…
The DOJ wants the American people to believe that it released all of the Epstein files, but that does not appear to be true. It depends on each person’s definition. The law that the Justice Department has been violating for over 40 days required that everything be made public. However, the Trump administration seems to be imposing its own definition of everything in this statement.PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any special interest or political party.

Senate Democrats played hardball during the government shutdown, and they won. Now with the American people demanding that ICE be reined in, The Democrats did something both practical and tough. In the Senate, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer laid out what Democrats and the vast majority of Americans want:Let’s be clear: Democrats are poised to pass five bipartisan funding bills in the Senate. We are ready to adopt them today. We are prepared to fund 96% of the federal government today. But the DHS bill still needs a lot of work.So, after meeting in caucus yesterday, Senate Democrats are united on…
Donald Trump once asked Republicans to block and kill a bipartisan immigration reform bill because he wanted to run on the “immigration crisis” in the 2024 election. Trump did run on immigration, but polls show that immigration is not the reason he won the election. The economy, inflation and costs are why Trump was able to convince enough voters in swing states to return to the White House.Trump expressed during the campaign his belief that immigration was more important than the economy.

As The Democrats’ plan for now and pushing for ICE reforms to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security, they are also looking to the future.ICE’s reputation has been so damaged by Trump’s actions that there is a widespread belief that it can never return.

A House minority that launches a campaign to impeach a president or administration official often does so to inform voters, call attention to misconduct, or attract attention.Most minority party impeachment talk goes nowhere because the minority party doesn’t have the votes to do anything.
