The DCCC added Texas' 23rd to its target list on August 5, naming Brandon Herrera's 'disturbing history of extremism, violence, and antisemitic rhetoric' as the reason. A seat Republicans have held since 2015 is suddenly competitive.
Hours after an 82-year-old man was left with a fractured skull in his own home, the congresswoman from New York's 24th District shared a photoshopped meme about it and laughed. Three years later, when someone broke a window at her house, she said attacks on public officials 'have no place in our society.'
Upstate New York's Claudia Tenney used her power as a member of Congress to propose a national day off honoring a living president's birthday. The bill has zero cosponsors, zero hearings, and would cost taxpayers close to a billion dollars a year.
Clay Fuller was a district attorney and an Air Force lawyer. In two months he has demanded Anthony Fauci be jailed at least five times — and treated a private citizen's use of the Fifth Amendment as proof of guilt.
A 2017 video resurfaced in 2022 showing Bailey minimizing the Holocaust. The ADL and leaders of both parties denounced it. Bailey's response was to claim Jewish community support — and the group he named publicly contradicted him.
Seven people were killed at an Independence Day parade and the shooter was still at large. Bailey went live to 111,000 Facebook followers and told Illinois to move on. When the state banned assault weapons, he went to court to strike the ban down.
Pillen turned down federal summer grocery money for Nebraska's low-income kids in December 2023. He reversed two months later — after a petition and after sitting down with children who were living it. The program he blocked delivered nearly $24 million in its first summer.
The New York Times found photos of a 20-year-old Mike Lawler with his face darkened at a college Halloween party. He said sorry, then spent the same night arguing it didn't count. Three NAACP branches told him it did.
On the same telephone town hall where Pillen used an ableist slur three times, he dismissed Nebraska's $471.5 million budget hole as a press invention, said the state has 'bushel baskets' of money, and promised he won't support any candidate who won't back a six-week abortion ban.
