Iran war costs near $30B as House Republicans face funding fight
Republicans in Congress confronted a funding crisis in early April 2026 as the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated the Iran war had cost nearly $30 billion, with the Pentagon expected to seek an $80-100 billion supplemental appropriation. The administration floated a total supplemental request exceeding $200 billion. Fiscal conservatives including Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Thomas Massie announced opposition to supplemental war funding, while Democrats introduced legislation to prohibit appropriating funds for the Iran conflict without congressional authorization.

House GOP blocks Iran War Powers vote during pro forma session
Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) attempted on April 9, 2026 to pass an Iran war powers resolution by unanimous consent during a pro forma House session, but Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), serving as Speaker Pro Tempore, abruptly gaveled the session closed without allowing Ivey to speak. Democrats in the chamber objected loudly. Pro forma sessions are constitutionally required brief meetings held during recesses; unanimous consent allows legislation to pass instantly if no member objects. Speaker Mike Johnson's office did not schedule the resolution for a regular floor vote.

CNN reveals Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene liked posts calling for execution of Pelosi Obama Clinton
Featured
On January 26, 2021, CNN's KFile reports that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — who had just been sworn into the 117th Congress — had repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians and federal agents in Facebook posts from 2018 and 2019. Greene liked a post saying "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In a separate Facebook Live broadcast in 2019, Greene said Pelosi "will suffer death or she'll be in prison" because of her "treason." In another 2019 video, Greene said Pelosi "is a traitor to our country. She's guilty of treason." Greene also liked posts calling for the execution of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and responded to a user suggesting Clinton and Obama be hanged by writing: "Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off." On February 4, 2021, the House stripped Greene of her committee assignments in a 230-199 vote, including 11 Republicans. Greene did not face expulsion and remains in Congress. House Republican leadership — Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise — took no punitive action against her.

Trump Rally Crowd Chants "Send Her Back" at Rep. Ilhan Omar After Trump's Racist Attack Tweets
Featured
At a re-election campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina on July 17, 2019, the crowd breaks into a sustained "send her back" chant targeting Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota after Trump repeats his earlier social media attacks on the four congresswomen of color known as the Squad. Omar, born in Somalia, became a U.S. citizen in 2000. Trump stands silent at the podium for 13 seconds as the chant rings through the arena before resuming his remarks. The scene — a sitting president allowing a crowd to demand the removal of a sitting congresswoman because of her national origin — draws bipartisan condemnation. Republican House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and others criticize the chant. Trump later claims he tried to stop the chant, which video does not support. The chant is a direct echo of Trump's July 14 tweets telling four women of color to "go back" to the countries they came from, three of whom were born in the United States.
