Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) has advice for the White House after Republicans’ historic midterm losses: don’t change a thing. Critics across the political spectrum weren’t buying it.

“Congratulations to the new Chief of Staff, @StephenM,” Crenshaw wrote on X Friday, welcoming Stephen Miller after Trump named him to replace Susie Wiles.

“Double down on the agenda. Too many people are demanding a change to tough policies because they were unpopular in the midterms. That’s foolish and cowardly,” Crenshaw continued....

A GOP lawmaker went on a profane Thursday tirade insisting that disability benefits for veterans needed to be cut because they were "encouraging victimhood."

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), a retired Navy SEAL, unloaded on the Veterans of Foreign Wars in a post on X after House Republicans were forced to pull a veterans' benefits bill from the floor Thursday.

The VFW had urged Congress to vote against the bill, helping to sink it....

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) posted a lengthy infomercial diatribe on X Friday evening, promoting "Endex Fitness" brand concealed carry holsters for guns.

This follows some other controversial product plugs by Republican lawmakers, including Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) promoting a Texas dental practice that fixed her teeth — which actually led to her facing a false advertising lawsuit.

"No better way to celebrate Independence Day than stylishly exercising your 2nd Amendment rights," wrote Crenshaw, accompanying the post with a video demonstrating the holster. "So many brands try to sell you 'sleek' holsters and belt systems for 'concealed' carry. But there’s nothing sleek about an extra inch of plastic or leather or metal clips, plus the belt. Our design keeps it simple with an improved belly band elastic holster that integrates into the pants perfectly. Or you can use the holster by itself. It’s removable." ...

WASHINGTON — Democrats are asking who’s the treasonous one now that pictures have surfaced of an upside American flag flying at the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) — the Somali-born congresswoman who some Republicans have called “treasonous” and accused of being “a foreign agent” — is in disbelief that the GOP is defending Alito after his wife allegedly disrespected the American flag.

The upside-down flag that flew at the Alitos’ home in Virginia in the days after the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was a well-known symbol of Donald Trump’s “stop the steal” effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election. A separate “Appeal to Heaven” flag — a banner carried by some January 6 rioters — flew at the Alitos’ vacation home in New Jersey less than two weeks after the riot, the Associated Press reported....

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is back playing the stock market after an extended absence — and she just purchased stock in two companies whose business dealings potentially conflict with her congressional committee assignments.

In a public filing released today and reviewed by Raw Story, Greene reported buying up to $15,000 Qualcomm, a federal defense contractor. Greene serves on the Homeland Security Committee and the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.

Conservative media host Tucker Carlson was under fire on Friday after he attacked a Republican lawmaker for voting in favor of a bill that would encourage TikTok to divest from its Chinese ownership.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) voted in support of the bill, after which Carlson said, "This is Rep. Dan Crenshaw as he walks out of the Capitol after voting to give Joe Biden the power to shut down news sites that dare to challenge him." Crenshaw evaluated the evidence instead of making any announcement in public.

"Crenshaw tells reporter Liam Cosgrove that U.S. intel agencies don’t meddle in domestic news coverage, when of course he knows that’s untrue. Watch his face as he says it. Liar," Carlson said after the vote....
