Justice Alito responds to Senate Judiciary Chair Durbin: "There is no valid reason for my recusal in this case. Sen. Durbin’s letter expressed the view recusal is necessary because I participated in 2 interviews that resulted in 2 articles about my work that appeared in the WSJ."
Alito: "There was nothing out of the ordinary about the interviews in question. Over the years, many Justices have participated in interviews with representatives of media entities that have frequently been parties in cases before the Court."
Altio: "We are required to put favorable or unfavorable comments and any personal connections with an attorney out of our minds and judge the cases based solely on the law and the facts. And that is what we do."

220-213: House on a near party line votes approved the rules for 118th Congress under a Republican majority. Rules package allows 1 mbr to force a vote on removing the House Speaker by offering a motion to vacate the chair. TX Rep Tony Gonzales was the only Republican to vote No.
McCarthy: House-approved rules package for the 118th includes “Rules that empower Members to debate & legislate are replacing rules that silenced their voice & centralized power. Rules that increase transparency are replacing rules that kept lawmaking hidden behind closed doors.”
McCarthy: “And rules that reopen Congress to We the People are replacing rules like proxy voting that kept this floor empty.”
