Former Architect of the Capitol Brett Blanton saw money withheld from his final paycheck in order to pay back the federal government for U.S. taxpayer money that was "misused," according to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

Grassley shared a letter from Acting Architect of the Capitol Chere Rexroat that said about $12,500 was withheld from Blanton's final paycheck because he refused to repay the money himself. The remaining amount, about $1,400, was repaid through insurance, NBC News reported.

The Arizona Democratic Party is ready to move forward with its primary election for the 2024 U.S. Senate race. There's just one problem: the state Democrats have no idea if President Joe Biden or DSCC chief, Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), are going to step in and support the Independent candidate Kyrsten Sinema against the Democrat, The Messenger reported Tuesday.

"It is frustrating, and that is one of the reasons we wanted this vote to take place. We wanted the national Democrats (to know) that even in Sinema’s home state, the Democrats are opposed to her," said state party vice chair Deydrek Scott.

Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is under fire after announcing Tuesday he is demanding work requirements for "all" social safety net programs as part of his debt ceiling "negotiations" with President Joe Biden.

For decades, study after study show that work requirements are not effective for many reasons, including many people on programs such as Medicaid are not physically able to work, while Americans using other programs, like SNAP, often called food stamps, are not able to work for lack of child or elder care. And many Americans accessing social safety net programs are working already.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday vowed to introduce articles of impeachment against the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia for supposedly persecuting Capitol rioters.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) needled Rep. James Comer (R-KY) for admitting in a recent interview that Republicans had lost track of their top informant in the investigation into President Joe Biden and his family.

The leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus said Monday that the GOP's push to impose even harsher work requirements on recipients of federal food aid is "an absolutely terrible idea" that President Joe Biden must reject as a high-stakes standoff over the debt ceiling continues.

Piling more work requirements onto the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—which already has work mandates—is "a nonstarter for many of us across the Democratic caucus," Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) toldPolitico after Biden suggested he is open to additional work requirements for federal assistance programs other than Medicaid, noting that he supported such measures as a senator—remarks that Republicans quickly seized on.

United States Representative Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) on Tuesday suggested that virtually any person whose last name is Biden committed some kind of corrupt criminal act amid growing skepticism of the validity of House Republican investigations into President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

"So it's just important that, that we look at it from every angle and we show the American people what's truthful and what's not," Mace, who sits on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said of the probes.
