Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is reviving her rabble-rousing ways, creating new headaches for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) as he settles into his role leading the House GOP conference's razor-thin majority. Greene arrived on Capitol Hill in 2021 as a conservative firebrand who quickly emerged as a nuisance for top lawmakers. That changed when former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) mended fences and embraced Greene on his way to the Speakership, turning the outspoken instigator into a leadership ally. |

President Biden is staring down a new year with uncertainty over whether he can turn around his dismal polling numbers and low approval ratings in time for the November election. The president faces lingering questions over his age and criticism from inside his own party over his handling of foreign and domestic policy issues while taking hit after hit from Republicans over the economy and his son's business dealings. All those issues amount to an approval rating that hasn't been able to break above 40 percent for months. |

The Biden administration is leaning on Mexico to help reduce the number of migrants showing up at the southern border in the face of few and unpalatable policy options stateside. The White House's push is straining relations with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who played a key role in implementing former President Trump's most stringent border policies under threat of tariffs. |

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) issued a warning to states moving to keep former President Trump off the presidential ballot, saying the House of Representatives has the final say over whether electors from those states are certified on Jan. 6, 2025. "Maine, Colorado, and other states that might try to bureaucratically deny ballot access to any Republican nominee should remember the U.S. House of Representatives is the ultimate arbiter of whether to certify electors from those states," Massie posted Friday on X, formerly Twitter. |

President Biden on Friday issued a scathing statement against Russian President Vladimir Putin after Russia's latest attacks on Ukraine, the largest aerial assault since the war began. "It is a stark reminder to the world that, after nearly two years of this devastating war, Putin's objective remains unchanged. He seeks to obliterate Ukraine and subjugate its people. He must be stopped," Biden said. |

Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will attend CNN's debate in New Hampshire next month. "Given the short amount of time between the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire's primary, participating in multiple debates on different networks is the best way for Granite State voters to hear the contrast between the candidates as well as their closing arguments," Andrew Romeo, DeSantis's communications director, wrote in a a statement posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Friday. |

Maine's secretary of state said she has received threats in the wake of her decision to remove former President Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment on Friday. "I was prepared for the possibility of threats, and I really appreciate law enforcement and the people around me who have been incredibly supportive of my safety and security," Shenna Bellows (D) said during a Friday appearance on CNN. "My safety and security is important, so is the safety and security of everyone who works with me and we have received threatening communications." |

Republican presidential candidate and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized the recent decision to kick former President Trump off the Maine primary ballot under the 14th Amendment. "[I]t makes him a martyr," Christie said on CNN Friday. "You know, he's very good at playing 'Poor me, poor me,' he's always complaining. The poor billionaire from New York who's spending everybody else's money to pay his legal fees." |

Former President Trump said he "can't believe" President Biden will be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, calling into question his character and cognitive abilities. "He's a cheater. He's a scoundrel. He's a bad guy," Trump said in a Breitbart News article published Friday. "But in his life, he's always been able to convince people he's this really nice guy. I laugh when they say, 'Trump is the evil one, and he's the nice one.' That's the one thing he's been able to do. All you have to do is look at his credentials." |

OPINION | Some progressives have joined with Trump supporters to argue for a reversal of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision holding former President Trump disqualified for presidential office because of his participation in the Jan. 6 riot. Now, Maine's secretary of state has reached the same conclusion on disqualification. It's unsurprising that MAGA supporters are demanding that the U.S. Supreme Court reverse these decisions. But why would Trump's opponents not support his disqualification? |
OPINION | Early in World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt learned of Nazi plans to systematically murder European Jews. Later, advisors urged him to order the bombing rail lines leading to Auschwitz. He rejected their pleas. Actions to prevent these murders, he responded, would turn the war into a campaign to save Jews, and in so doing undermine American's support for the war. |
