Speaking on Fox News on Thursday, Scalise suggested that House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi has lost control of the Democrats, ceding influence to the leftist faction that was buoyed by the party’s 2018 midterm election victory. This, he claimed, was the driver between Pelosi’s decision to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Ocasio-Cortez was among last year’s intake, and since unseating former House Democratic Caucus Chair Joe Crowley, the 30-year-old has become one of the most prominent progressive voices within the party....

CBS News host Margaret Brennan asked Pelosi on Face the Nation on Sunday about her thoughts on projections that Republicans will win control the House in the upcoming midterm election. “How do you shift the momentum?” Brennan asked.

The Republican-led Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee in Pennsylvania voted Wednesday to approve subpoenas for detailed records on nearly seven million voters, advancing an election probe in a key battleground state that former President Donald Trump has persistently targeted with baseless claims of election fraud. Led by Democratic Leader Senator Jay Costa, the 54-page lawsuit was filed by all 21 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus against Republican Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman; Senator Cris Dush, who was assigned to lead the election probe; and Megan Martin, the secretary parliamentarian of the state Senate....

The announcement comes a week after U.S. officials said 8,500 troops have been put on heightened alert to deploy amid heightened tensions along Ukraine’s border. “The president has been very clear we’re not going to see American troops on the ground in combat with the Russians in Ukraine,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said during a press briefing Monday. “He has made clear that that’s not on the table.” Instead, Kirby said, the deployments will be aimed at shoring up the U....

What night is that? Oh, just Werth’s Chia Pet night.

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) seems to be a smart way to reduce pollution, but Congress has put TRI and every other federal health, safety and environment rule in the crosshairs. The House passed a strong regulatory-rollback bill in February. Last week the Senate fought over whether it, too, would (pick one) “wage a full frontal assault on the American people and their environment,” as Environmental Protection Agency chief Carol Browner put it, or “take the heavy hand of the federal government out of people’s lives,” as GOP Sen....

U.S. troops said they mistook his camera for a rocket-propelled grenade launcher and opened fire. Dana was gutsy, but not a crazy risk taker. His killing highlights the persistent miscommunication between the military and the press and it has prompted renewed demands for further investigations into several other journalists’ deaths in Iraq. Photographers and cameramen–and a few women–take the biggest risks in this business. If they miss the shot, they miss the story....

This is what it takes to make food theatrical, and in New York City’s off-Broadway theater community there’s a lot of interest now in doing just that. “The Food Network has a lot to do with increasing peoples’ awareness,” says Dorothy Lyman, whose adaptation of food writer Betty Fussell’s memoir, “My Kitchen Wars,” will leave New York and tour nationally this fall. “The chefs have become stars, so it was only a matter of time before stars wanted to play chefs....

Why Pep could sell Aguero The Belgium international has enjoyed some superb form this season, scoring the winning goal in the Champions League victory over Bayern Munich before netting a hat trick in the 7-1 thrashing of Granada.

Mourinho must trust Carrick like he does Zlatan A first-half strike from Fabio Quagliarella consigned the Nerazzurri to a 1-0 loss at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, leaving them with just two wins from their last eight matches in all competitions. Pressure had been mounting on De Boer, who only took charge in August, with the club sitting 12th in the table after four wins from 11 matches. Chief executive Michael Bolingbroke insisted that De Boer had “100 percent” backing before the defeat at Sampdoria but, with just five wins from his first 14 games at the helm, the Dutchman has been given the axe....
