McCarthy says Santos will be removed from Congress if Ethics Committee  determines he broke the law

What You May Have Missed

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) says Rep. George Santos (R-NY) will continue to serve at the same time campaign finance questions are piling up. And then there’s the issue of his involvement in a Ponzi scheme.

Democrats see a chance to test the unity of the House Republican caucus just as McCarthy is keeping his promises to his most extreme members. The job is apparently making him a little testy.

Alaska wants to be the most “pro-life” state in the country. However, the most pro-life policy in the country — no quotes needed — is dramatically expanding under President Biden.

The MyPillow guy might actually admit he lost his election for RNC chair — but only because there are no machines used in the tally.

Donald Trump “won” his Club Golf Championship in the most predictable fashion imaginable. But apparently you still can teach an old dog new tricks.

Trump is leading Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in most early 2024 polls while Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is angling to be Trump’s running mate in 2024.

The U.S. is rallying the world to help Ukraine.

Hannity: I never got hired by a poor person in my life. I got hired by people who could afford to pay me. Every wealthy person, they have two qualities that are consistent. One is they're smart and two they're hard working.

That tweet about wealthy, smart & hardworking is a bunch of nonsense. Because there’s a bunch of wealthy people that are wealthy because they’re cruising on their parents or grandparents hard work & aren’t lifting a finger themselves. Nor all of them are smart to begin with either. Let alone their others that got their wealth from stealing from others.
