House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy has vowed to boot Democrats Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and Ilhan Omar from key committees if he becomes speaker.

Schiff, who is the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, accused McCarthy of pandering to his party's right wing.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is being highly criticized for her role in spreading anti-LGBTQ hate and lies after this weekend's horrific anti-LGBTQ mass shooting in her home state of Colorado, which left dead five patrons of a nightclub that caters to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, and another 25 injured.

Without mentioning any details, including that this was apparently a targeted attack on the LGBTQ community, Sunday morning Congresswoman Boebert tweeted: "The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful. This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers. This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly."

Former White House adviser Steve Bannon on Monday called on Republicans in the next Congress to make a formal judgment about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

During a rant on his War Room podcast, Bannon suggested that Republicans have the power to "adjudicate" the election. He called the Biden administration an "illegitimate regime."

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on Sunday that he would keep his vow to prevent top Democrats from serving on committees if elected Speaker of the House.

While speaking to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, McCarthy promised that Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) will be removed from their respective committees if he becomes Speaker of the House in January.

On Friday evening, Trump delivered a televised speech at the America First Experience Gala held at Mar-a-Lago and aired his grievances regarding the appointment of special counsel in the furthering of his Jan. 6 legal saga.

Stepping to the podium dressed in a tuxedo, Trump remarked on the number of people in attendance, gave an attagirl to Kari Lake, who lost her Arizona gubernatorial race, and then went on to express his views that elections are "rigged, tainted and bad" until C-SPAN made the decision to cut away to other programming. In what was surely a hitch in Trump's giddyup, the programming they cut away to was U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland's public announcement that he'd chosen Jack Smith as special counsel.

In a deep dive into what to expect from the Republican Party after the midterm election handed them control of the House by the slimmest of margins, the Guardian is reporting that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may end up as the new Speaker but his ability to control his caucus is tenuous at best.

More to the point, the Guardian's David Smith suggested that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will be the one who wields the real power.

Shortly after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Donald Trump's insurrection and Mar-a-Lago documents, the former president went to Fox News Digital to call for Republicans to "fight" the investigation.

"I have been going through this for six years — for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore," Trump said. "And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is hoping to appeal to Republican lawmakers to take pity on Capitol rioters facing charges for their involvement in the U.S. Capitol insurrection.

According to HuffPost, Greene's remarks came when she asked top-ranking Republican lawmaker Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) if he would support a possible probe into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s leadership of the House Select Committee designated to investigate the Capitol riots.

On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a special counsel to oversee the investigations into Donald Trump's storing of classified information at Mar-a-Lago and the events surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The announcement comes on the heels of Trump announcing that he's running for president in 2024.

Jack Smith, who is the former chief prosecutor for the special court in The Hague where he investigated war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, will oversee the investigations.

On Friday, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) announced that he would never support Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker of the House — and that he does not believe he can "ever" get the votes to get the gavel.

"I've seen enough," wrote Biggs on Twitter. "I cannot vote for Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker. I do not believe he will ever get to 218 votes, and I refuse to assist him in his effort to get those votes."

In a closing segment on Friday's "Morning Joe," a sarcastic Mika Brzezinski began by saying she would "speak slowly" when addressing the Republican Party leadership about how they are getting off on the wrong foot after the midterm elections that took place not two weeks ago.

Leaning forward and admitting that it was like speaking to a child, she admonished the GOP leaders -- particularly possible new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) -- for allowing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to set the post-midterm agenda after they ran on inflation and claims of high crime rates.

On MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday, co-host Mika Brzezinski harshly criticized current House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for his treatment of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday as she gave a major speech announcing she would be stepping down from the House Democratic leadership.

The GOP leader was noticeably missing -- as were the majority of the House Republicans -- when Pelosi gave her emotional speech, with many of them holding their own mini-press conferences to announce their own plans to investigate President Joe Biden's administration.

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) "willingly ignorant" comparison of Russia's invasion of Ukraine to immigration across the southern border of the U.S.

The Georgia Republican called for an audit of U.S. funding to Ukraine in its battle against Russian aggression, which she compared to the surge of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border under President Joe Biden.
