Tuesday Rep. Monica De La Cruz (TX-15) celebrated passage of her fifth piece of legislation on the House floor.

Wednesday Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) did not hold back when criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for refusing to preside over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress. Ernst called it "a disgrace" and asked: If she is willing to abdicate her duties now as vice president, imagine what she would be willing to do as president.
