Republican Representative Mike Gallagher announced Friday that he will leave Congress in just a few weeks, leaving his party’s majority in the House in its most precarious position yet.
Gallagher was seen as a rising star in the Republican Party. A four-term lawmaker, he was chosen to lead the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. Republicans also viewed the young Wisconsin representative as their “best shot” to unseat Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin.
Gallagher made his announcement the same day that Representative Ken Buck, one of the few other Republicans to oppose impeaching Mayorkas, leaves Congress. When he announced his early retirement last week, Buck had hinted that more Republican resignations were imminent.

I’d quit if I had to work with MTG and Boebert, too.

Lots of GOP coming out against the Arizona Supreme Court ruling on abortion. The right is definitely starting to recognize what will hurt them in upcoming elections.

Noem killing her dog is awful but do we really need politicians trolling on social media? I think it would be interesting to prohibit politicians from using social media while in office. It’s just not how we need politicians to communicate.
