The progressive Democrat from a rural, mostly white Wisconsin district is highlighting that it is not just young people of color who are concerned about the war.

Speaker Mike Johnson scaled back the measure to two years from five after Donald J. Trump had urged Republicans to “kill” it. An effort to require warrants to search for Americans’ messages failed on a tie.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee and the G.O.P. speaker, at odds over many issues, are making common cause on “election integrity.”

Rosie the Riveters, American women who filled a crucial labor shortage during World War II and reshaped the work force, were honored at the Capitol.

Right-wing lawmakers blocked a move by Speaker Johnson to extend a key foreign intelligence surveillance tool after former President Donald J. Trump urged lawmakers to “kill” the law underlying it.

Now that he is the leader, the Louisiana Republican has found himself bowing to governing realities that are now his problem.

After hours of delay, the Senate overwhelmingly voted for the $1.2 trillion bill to fund more than half of the government, sending the measure to President Biden’s desk.

Mr. Santos, who was expelled from the House in December, filed paperwork to run in a different district held by Representative Nick LaLota, a Republican.

In a redo of their first failed attempt, Republicans pushed through the charges over solid Democratic opposition, making the homeland security secretary the first sitting cabinet member to be impeached.

The defeat of the immigration-Ukraine-Israel package marks the end of the party of Eisenhower, Reagan and McCain.

President Biden accused the House GOP of thwarting legislation tightening immigration rules and providing aid to Ukraine and Israel out of fear of their 2024 front-runner, Donald Trump.

The G.O.P. abandoned a bipartisan border security bill that also aided Ukraine after Democrats called their bluff on immigration, agreeing to tough measures Republicans demanded.

The former president’s opposition has all but killed the prospects for a bipartisan border deal, reflecting how his influence in Congress has grown as he gains ground in the Republican primary.

The minority leader privately told Republicans that the former president had put his party “in a quandary,” casting further doubt on the deal’s chances and the fate of Ukraine aid that the G.O.P. has tied to it.

For most of his life, Hakim Jeffrey’s only connections to Representative Hakeem Jeffries were Brooklyn and their similar names. Then they crossed paths.

If anyone is going to do so, elected representatives must be the ones to forgive Donald Trump.
