The U.S. government on Wednesday officially declared that Russian forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine but could not confirm whether Russian President Vladimir Putin would be held accountable.

EXCLUSIVE: PONTE VEDRA, FLA.— House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Republicans view the 2022 midterm elections as an “opportunity” to “change the course of where America is today” and strengthen it for the next century, telling Fox News that policies implemented by Democrats have done “damage” to the country.

Lawmakers reacted to the passing of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright Wednesday, including past and current politicians from both sides of the aisle.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin is still looking for a bipartisan confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, despite the hearings going “off the rails” at times.

Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson Wednesday committed to recuse herself from a case involving Harvard. She sits on the Harvard University Board of Overseers.
