WASHINGTON — A band of Republican lawmakers sank an effort Tuesday by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to kill a plan to allow remote voting for lawmakers who become new parents, a bitter dispute that brought the House floor to a halt.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is clashing with Speaker Mike Johnson over her push to pass legislation that would allow lawmakers who are new parents to vote remotely.

Facing pressure from his right flank to take on judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday floated the possibility of Congress eliminating federal courts.

Johnson has backed a bill to bar district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, an alternative to House Republicans' taking politically perilous impeachment votes.

The base’s frustration with the party has mounted following the government funding fight, as Democratic lawmakers seek distance from Chuck Schumer.

The Democratic leaders in the Senate and House sought to strike a unified message on potential GOP cuts to Medicaid, even as they defended their government funding strategies.

President Donald Trump on Saturday signed into law a six-month funding bill, averting a government shutdown.

Longtime Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., a leading progressive voice on the environment and climate change, died Thursday from “complications of his cancer treatment,” his office announced in a statement.

Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans voiced confidence that they can push through a stopgap funding bill and avert a government shutdown at the end of this week.
