President Donald Trump recently ordered the re-designation of Ansarallah, also known as the Houthis, as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
The re-designation reverses former President Joe Biden’s decision to remove the Houthis’ FTO status, originally set during President Trump’s first term.
Rep. Andrew Clyde - CENSURED: Rep. Al Green for repeatedly disrupting and disrespecting President Trump’s joint address. This childish behavior has no place on the House floor.
Rep. Nikema Williams - Congressman Al Green stood up to Trump during his joint address and told him, “You don’t have a mandate to cut Medicaid.” I stand behind him. I voted NO to a political Censure. That's why I introduced a resolution that would make censure votes a more formal process, requiring an investigation or deliberation. Censure is serious, not a political response.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene - Wooo boy They should have never tried to kill [Trump] in Butler, PA and on his golf course. FAFO.
