After four speaker nominees, self-created crises, impeachment scams, and no meaningful legislation passed, Dana Milbank for Washington Post Opinions perfectly depicts the mess that is the GOP: the year began and ended with chaos and incompetence.

Opinion | Worst. Congress. Ever. The new House Republican majority produced the most ineffective session of Congress in nearly a century — and quite possibly in all of U.S. history.

Donald Trump's rhetoric, echoing that of history's worst tyrants, is dangerous to our democracy and will get people hurt. Period.

Republicans need to get a backbone and defend our American principles. Their silence is deafening. Their refusal is complicity.

Trump’s ‘vermin’ talk creates test for GOP, which it’s failing As Donald Trump embraces eliminationist rhetoric, he's created a test for the Republican Party. At least for now, it’s failing that test spectacularly.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett files legislation to revamp federal vaccine injury compensation The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was created in 1986 as a resource for individuals who have sustained vaccine-related injuries.

This was an important victory to save Americans from the harm of another Republican shutdown.

Now, we must get back to work and achieve full-year funding, including helping Ukraine have all the resources it requires to defeat Russian aggression.

House Democrats averted shutdown amid GOP's 'brinkmanship,' Biden's budget director says House Democrats helped avert a government shutdown, amid "brinkmanship" and "theater" by hard-line conservatives, Biden budget director Shalanda Young argued

Craven House Republicans have reneged on the bipartisan funding deal they agreed to a few short months ago because their puppet-master Trump demands it.

From delayed food assistance and small business loans to furloughed employees, a shutdown would cost the American people dearly.

Trump breaks with McCarthy, pushing Republicans to shut down the government The former president endorses the tactics of far-right GOP members, telling them to force a shutdown unless Democrats give them “EVERYTHING” in negotiations.

The Texas Senate letting Paxton off the hook, despite overwhelming evidence, is a massive blow to political integrity and good government.

We must clean up corruption in our state government, and that starts with Texans holding elected officials accountable at the ballot box.

Today, we solemnly remember the thousands of lives lost 22 years ago and honor them, their families, and the heroic first responders who answered the call on September 11, 2001.

Austin airport kicks off $164M west gate expansion The project will add new gates and other features once it's completed in 2026.

As long as GOP stands for “Guns over People” and NRA for “No Republican Action” Americans will keep dying in an epidemic of mass shootings.

Opinion | Only the Republican Party can end our mass shootings epidemic The conservative movement needs a Lincoln or a King to steer it on a saner course on guns.

On this day one year ago, Putin launched an illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, slaughtering countless civilians and troops. Despite his senseless acts of violence, Ukrainians have shown courage and resolve. We stand with Ukrainians in their fight against autocracy and oppression.
