Summary

Lee ZeldinLee ZeldinHouse Dems delay vote on resolution rebuking Omar over Israel remarks Pelosi seeks to tamp down anti-Semitism controversy Furor over Omar puts spotlight on AIPAC MORE (N.Y.) and Louie GohmertLouis (Louie) Buller GohmertRepublicans force House subcommittee to adjourn during hearing on climate change Trump met with group led by Ginni Thomas at White House: report House passes bill expressing support for NATO MORE (Texas), who also voted against it, had delivered floor speeches lamenting that the language in the bill had been watered down to the point of taking away attention from Omar's remarks.The vote had been delayed earlier in the week as Democrats fought over what should be included in the measure, with additional tweaks to the text being made as late as Thursday afternoon.Lawmakers passed the resolution amid flaring tensions over comments by Omar widely panned as anti-Semitic because they appeared to question whether people advocating for Israel were more loyal to that country than the United States.The House-passed measure did not specifically mention the freshman congresswoman by name.While critics argued Omar should have been directly named in the resolution, a number of progressives and members of key minority caucuses stood by her this week, balking at the suggestion she be singled out and calling for the language to be broadened to include the condemnation of other forms of bigotry.The final version of the resolution “encourages all public officials to confront the reality of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, as well as historical struggles against them, to ensure that the United States will live up to the transcendent principles of tolerance, religious freedom, and equal protection as embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the first and 14th amendments to the Constitution.”It also includes language condemning Japanese internment camps in World War II, the century-old Dreyfus affair in France, former President Kennedy being questioned over Catholicism and the white supremacist events in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017.Democrats made a last-minute change Thursday to add Latinos, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders, and the LGBT community to the list of "traditionally persecuted peoples" targeted by white supremacists. to label cartels as terrorist organizations MORE (Texas), Greg SteubeWilliam (Greg) Gregory SteubeHouse passes bill expressing support for NATO MORE (Fla.), Mark WalkerBradley (Mark) Mark WalkerNielsen testifies: Five things you need to know Pence meets with Senate GOP for 'robust' discussion on Trump declaration Partnerships paving the way to sustain and support Historically Black Colleges and Universities MORE (N.C.) and Ted YohoTheodore (Ted) Scott YohoThe new Democratic Congress has an opportunity to move legislation to help horses On The Money: Trump says he won't declare emergency 'so fast' | Shutdown poised to become longest in history | Congress approves back pay for workers | More federal unions sue over shutdown The 7 Republicans who voted against back pay for furloughed workers MORE (Fla.).By bringing the bill to the floor Thursday, Democratic leaders were able to tamp down the possibility of Republicans further highlighting divisions in the Democratic caucus by using a procedural motion on a landmark election reform bill scheduled for a vote Friday.As it stands, that bill — designated as H.R. 1 to underscore its importance — has largely been overshadowed all week by the controversy surrounding Omar.GOP lawmakers — who managed to overwhelmingly pass a motion to recommit that amended a resolution on Yemen to include language condemning anti-Semitism earlier this year in response to a separate incident involving Omar — called for Democrats to take a harder line with the freshman representative.Top Republicans including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthyKevin Owen McCarthyAlaskan becomes longest serving Republican in House history GOP lawmaker asks Cohen to reveal any 'cooperation' with Dems on congressional testimony Trump, GOP continue to undermine protections for people with pre-existing conditions MORE (Calif.), Minority Whip Steve ScaliseStephen (Steve) Joseph ScaliseAlaskan becomes longest serving Republican in House history GOP finds new tools to tear at Dem divisions Pelosi seeks to tamp down anti-Semitism controversy MORE (La.) and Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (Wyo.) argued Democrats should have responded in a similar fashion to how they penalized Rep.
