Democrats Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards are competing Saturday for a vacant U.S. House seat from Houston, a special election that will narrow the GOP's already slim House majority.

Moderate House Democrats teamed with Republicans to pass a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, overcoming a revolt over ICE.

Social media users criticized the House Democrats, with one saying, “Corporate democrats continue to fail to meet the moment."

More than half of House Democrats support impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

The House has approved the final set of spending bills to avoid a government shutdown, despite objections from Democrats to the funding levels set for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The deal could be approved by the Senate as early as Thursday night, but would still need House approval before midnight Friday to avert another government shutdown.

A small group of Democratic Michigan lawmakers was in Minnesota on Thursday, they say, to "stand in solidarity" against violent immigration efforts.

The Minnesota House is tied once again after Democratic candidates won two special elections on Tuesday. Republicans were in the minority during the 2025 session but enjoyed a temporary majority for the short period between the resignations of two Democratic lawmakers and their seats being filled.
