House Rs cleared key hurdles this week — but in the process, set up more, spurring frustration about those negotiations “What about this is going to ever become law?” said one House R. “A vote to have a vote to have a vote? What are we doing?” thehill.com/homenews/house…

After a five-hour vote, some yelling and a lot of cajoling, House Republicans have adopted a budget resolution for their reconciliation package to fund immigration enforcement. But what a day. thehill.com/homenews/58560…

Huge problems for the skinny budget blueprint to fund ICE/Border Patrol vote right now amid anger and confusion about whether GOP leaders earlier today had agreed to punt consideration of the farm bill in order to get votes for the procedural rule — but then scheduled farm bill amendment votes for tonight Johnson, Scalise, Emmer now meeting with a number of members withholding votes in a ceremonial room off the House floor

@iswanTheHill Maybe he'd be too tired to destroy your shoe if you just brought him to the office to hang out.

House Rules - after a hearing that stretched over two days - reported out the rule for FISA, the Farm Bill and the budget resolution. But its fate on the floor tomorrow looks pretty bleak. (Caveat: I've said this so many times and been proven wrong.) thehill.com/homenews/house…

Rules Chair Virginia Foxx opening this hearing — reconvening after hours of limbo and squabbling over FISA, farm bill, ICE reconciliation — by reading the serenity prayer “We’ve been through some trying time here in the Rules lately” A total mood for “hell week”

Where does the GOP-labor relationship go after Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s exit? She was an exiting pick for unions and the New Right; free-marketers are happy to say bye. Trump could make another gesture with a replacement Labor Secretary if he wants to, but the next signals in the GOP-labor realignment -- or unalignment -- could come in Congress first.

NEW: The House Ethics Committee says it has initiated investigations in 20 matters involving allegations of sexual misconduct by a member since 2017. Plus, it releases a list of all publicly disclosed matters involving alleged sexual misconduct it investigated -- which lists 15 instances since 2017, implying 5 investigations that have not been made public + Lengthy, rare statement from the House Ethics Committee that comes in wake of Swalwell, Gonzales resignations "Whenever the Committee found a Member to have engaged in or fostered an environment where sexual misconduct took place, the Committee released its findings." "Some sexual misconduct matters that the Committee may have otherwise reviewed were removed from the Committee’s jurisdiction by the subject’s resignation, retirement, or departure from House employment."

Furor over sexual misconduct allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell (D) is leading to call to expel not only him, but also Rep. Tony Gonzales (R), Rep. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D) and Rep Cory Mills (R) Members can force votes, but due process concerns could delay or halt actual expulsion, which takes 2/3 vote - Ethics Committee meeting to recommend action against Cherfilus-McCormick on Apr. 21; Steube expulsion expected shortly after - Ethics already investigating Gonzales and Mills thehill.com/homenews/house…

Sudden GOP infighting exploded over a long-shot bipartisan immigration reform bill, putting a spotlight on divides over immigration policy and the meaning of Trump's 2024 win Dignity Acy lead sponsor Rep. María Elvira Salazar said in an interview that she thinks the uproar is a sign of the bill "gaining momentum" -- "The problem here is that people cannot open their mouth before reading the bill." --> Is the social media backlash hurting? Well, the office of one co-sponsor told me that while there was an uptick in constituent interactions over the bill last week, it was much lower than inquiries about the Iran war and DHS funding, and lower than a typical uptick that coincides with top news items. Salazar plans to reach out to Rep. Brandon Gill, one of the most vocal Republicans sparring with her over the bill and the meaning of "amnesty," this week. And she is planning a “massive press conference” this week with the National Association of Manufacturers, which has endorsed the bill as a way to address work shortages. w/ @RebeccaBeitsch thehill.com/homenews/house…
