"Rep. Mike Gallagher's Early Resignation Imperils GOP Majority"

Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, who previously announced he wouldn't seek re-election, confirmed his early resignation from Congress, further jeopardizing the House majority for the GOP. His departure on April 19, along with Rep. Ken Buck's resignation, would reduce the Republican majority to 217-213, leaving little room for defection on votes. Gallagher's frustration with his party and the GOP's struggle for stability in Congress contribute to the ongoing turmoil within the Republican Party.

Bipartisan Congressmen Tackle Border and Ukraine Bill in Face of Speaker's Opposition

Reps. Fitzpatrick and Golden are pushing for expedited consideration of a bipartisan foreign aid bill to address urgent needs at the U.S. southern border and in Ukraine, bypassing House Speaker Johnson's refusal to put the bill on the floor. The $49 billion bill combines border security with foreign aid and serves as an alternative to a $60 billion bill previously dismissed by Speaker Johnson. The lawmakers emphasize the time sensitivity of the situation, with President Zelensky stating the need for reinforcements on the frontlines within weeks.
