Washington, D.C.- Florida Representative Cory Mills (R) has filed a resolution criticizing President Joe Biden’s response to the Israel-Hamas war. The resolution alleges President Biden’s delayed response to the flight shortage out of Israel due to the war effectively left many American citizens stranded in the middle of a war. Israel declared war on Hamas […]
The House of Representatives has moved into its third week without a speaker, and Democrats are calling for a bipartisan solution in order to elect someone to the position so that legislation can be brought to the floor. Democrats including Representatives Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and Lois Frankel (D-FL) have provided statements concerning the idea. Rep. […]
In a shocking display that some would consider political suicide, the eight Republicans who voted for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) ouster have said that they are prepared to accept “censure, suspension, or removal from the Conference” in order to elect Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) as Speaker. Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) led the charge as […]
The ongoing fight to elect a Speaker among House Republicans while the world seemingly burns is making voters angry. Representative Greg Steube (R-FL) made a lengthy appearance on Fox Business's Mornings with Maria, where this became a topic of discussion, warning the perception of Republicans as inept could cost them in the 2024 Elections. Host Maria Bartiromo began by […]
The nuclear capabilities of Iran seem only to grow stronger. Their funding of proxy militias has similarly increased. Is it the fault of President Trump pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, or President Obama, who sent $1.7 billion in cash to them that they used for nuclear enrichment and militia funding? Representative Cory Mills […]
Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) called off the third Speaker of the House vote after it was apparent that he would not be able to secure the majority needed to win. He has said that he will back the temporary Speaker, Representative Patrick McHenry (R-NC) to extend and empower his temporary abilities as the House looks […]
Recently, pro-Palestine protestors filled the Capitol building, demanding Israel stop its war with Hamas. Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) spoke with Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy on Fox News' Bottom Line on the event, condemning the protestors for supporting "Arab Nazis" and saying the Palestinian flag was no different from a swastika flag. Rep. Mast began by referencing […]
The ongoing battle for a House Speaker has passed the two-week mark, and the Republicans cannot get behind a candidate. Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) appeared on MSNBC's 11th Hour to comment from the other side of the aisle, saying this is "a manufactured crisis" that Democrats are "ready to bail [Republicans] out and make sure Congress […]
The second vote to elect a new Speaker of the House saw Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) fall short yet again. Not only did he fail to get elected, but he lost net support in the process. Rep. Jordan will try again on Thursday at noon, but if not him, who shall Republicans turn to? Could […]
A new focal point in the Israel-Hamas war is the news that a hospital was struck by explosives, with Israel and Hamas blaming each other for the attack.

Washington, D.C.- Today, Senators Rick Scott (R-Fl) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), along with 18 Republican senators, publicly requested President Joe Biden halt fund transfers to Iran. The request comes amid reports of Iran’s direct involvement in financing and arming Hamas. Hamas, of course, is a US-designated terrorist group that recently attacked Israel, killing thousands and […]
It appears Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) has thrown a not-so-subtle jab toward his colleague Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) who displayed a Palestinian flag outside of her office following the terrorist attack that occurred on Israeli soil by Hamas. Rep Rashida Tlaib’s office right now. Will she still stand with Gaza and Hamas after her people […]

Representative Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) released a joint statement with Representative Mike McCaul (R-TX) condemning Petro's remarks. Si hay que suspender […]
Representative Jim Jordan (R-FL) failed to meet the threshold in the first Speaker of the House Vote. Notable votes against Rep.

With the vote for a new Speaker of the House imminent, Representative Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) appeared on Fox News's Evening Edit to explain his continued holding out for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), calling it "insane" that eight individuals led by Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) were able to override the will of 210 other Republicans. "Look, eight Republicans voted […]
Washington, D.C.- A bipartisan group of over 100 members of the U.S. House of Representatives is calling for President Joe Biden to increase pressure on Iran for its role in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

How deep does the rabbit hole of Iran sympathizers in the US government go? This question was the subject of discussion Fox and Friends First had with Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL), who said former Special Envoy Robert Malley was "just the tip of the iceberg."
