Newly elected Tom Suozzi, who flipped the seat left vacant when New York Republicans helped remove George Santos, laughed off an awkward situation on Tuesday.

Suozzi, who defeated a Republican who conceded earlier that night, was just about to start his victory speech when a protester stormed the stage and continued yelling, "Stop supporting genocide! Cease fire now!"

Dems clinch N.Y. election win to replace George Santos — cutting into GOP House majority

New York Democrats scored a victory on Tuesday night, reported the New York Times and USA Today, with former Congressman Tom Suozzi retaking his seat and defeating Nassau County legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip in the special election for the state's 3rd Congressional District, based in the western part of Long Island.

The victory is another blow to House Republicans, who now find themselves defending an even narrower majority going into the 2024 presidential election.

'How wrong it is': Expert highlights inappropriate addition to Trump's Supreme Court brief

On his latest episode of "Justice Matters," former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner noted that "the Supreme Court seems to be stepping up the pace a bit" on former President Donald Trump's request to review the lower court's rejection of his claim to be immune from prosecution.

But also, Kirschner focused on the nature of Trump's filing to the court — and a particular decision they made that he found completely inappropriate.

'Gaslighting liar': Ex-GOP staffer slams Rep. Steve Scalise's 'nonsense' victory lap

Following the House's impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by a single vote, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) spoke to MSNBC, demanding that President Joe Biden pass the House's extremely strict anti-immigration bill rather than the bipartisan border security compromise brokered in the Senate, otherwise he supports "open borders."

This did not sit well with former Republican turned Democratic strategist Kurt Bardella, who raged against the House leader on MSNBC.

'They're going to live with it!': GOP impeachment holdout warns Republicans about blowback

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) won't be back in D.C. when the next president is sworn in, but he's fully convinced the House vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will backfire.

"You can try to put lipstick on this pig, it is still a pig, and this is a terrible impeachment," Buck, who isn't running for reelection and voted against the measure on Tuesday told CNN's Erin Burnett on "Out Front." "It sets a terrible precedent the first impeachment of Donald Trump was a bad impeachment."

'Lawless' Elise Stefanik disqualified herself from being V.P.: Mike Pence's ex-lawyer

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) openly endorsed the 2020 plot to block certification of the election in recent interviews — and it has left Gregory F. Jacob, the counsel to former Vice President Mike Pence, disgusted.

Stefanik, who has chaired the House Republican Conference ever since GOP lawmakers ousted former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from that role over her criticism of former President Donald Trump, is now rumored to be a shortlister for Trump's 2024 vice presidential running mate. But Jacob, who knew her when he worked on the White House Domestic Policy Council, sees this as totally disqualifying for that role.

'Guess he lied?': Lindsey Graham skewered online after his old Ukraine video surfaces

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was shredded on social media Tuesday — the same day he voted against a Ukrainian aid package — after video surfaced of insults he levied against the Biden administration over the lack of help sent to the war-torn nation.

Graham faced harsh rebuke from critics who noted Graham went to Kyiv in 2023 and told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy he would stand with Ukraine until Russia’s invasion had ended.

Republicans impeach Alejandro Mayorkas by a single vote after weeks of attempts

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has been impeached by the House — the first time this has happened to a cabinet member in over a century.

Republicans spearheaded the charge, arguing that Mayorkas was derelict in responsibilities to control migration at the southern border. However, their allegations have consistently been vague as to what law or laws he is supposedly violating or not enforcing.

'So dumb and clueless': Marjorie Taylor Greene goes berserk on MSNBC host over impeachment

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) spouted off a series of blistering personal attacks on MSNBC anchor Alicia Menendez, daughter of New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, for her comments about the GOP's efforts to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the overflow of migrants at the U.S. border, while on Trump ally Steve Bannon's "War Room" show on Tuesday.

This came after the show displayed a clip of Menendez saying, "The House GOP is set to vote on the measure again today and it's not because they suddenly found any high crimes or misdemeanors, which of course is the constitutional threshold for impeachment. It's because they think they have the votes," and bringing in Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to say, "There's no crime, there's no misdemeanor, much less a high crime and misdemeanor."
