House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Trump are engaged in increasingly hostile negotiations over the government shutdown. What does this mean for the new Congress?

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney said King should "find another line of work" as the House voted to rebuke the Iowa congressman.

The longtime Iowa Republican congressman is under fire, once again, for controversial, racially charged remarks. House Democrats are also planning a vote of disapproval and some want to censure King.

President Trump returned from a trip to the border as negotiations to end the partial government shutdown appear stalled. The president may declare a national emergency to get a border wall built.

The president abruptly ended spending talks Wednesday after congressional Democrats rejected his demand for a $5.7 billion border wall. A partial government shutdown stretched into its 19th day.

Democrats unveiled new legislation to enhance background checks on the eighth anniversary of the Tucson shooting that injured former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz. But the gun lobby vows to oppose it.

Nancy Pelosi once again became speaker of the House this week as Democrats took control. She made history as the first female speaker in 2007 and her sharp political skills helped her hold onto power.

After taking control of the House of Representatives, Democrats voted to change rules about how the chamber is run, including one lowering chances of confrontation over the nation's debt limit.

Nancy Pelosi was elected Speaker of the House on the opening day of Congress' new session. As Democrats retake the majority in the House, they begin with reforms on how the chamber operates.

The new rules include automatically increasing the debt ceiling when a new budget is passed and setting up a committee on climate change.

President Trump has invited congressional leaders to meet with him at the White House for a briefing on border security. The partial government shutdown is now in its 12th day.

A new day care facility is opening Jan. 2 for employees in the House of Representatives which will reduce the wait list for childcare from three years down to one.

The incoming House leadership plans legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security for a month. President Trump shows no sign of agreeing to their terms, digging in on funding a border wall.

With the new year comes a whole new power dynamic in Washington as Democrats prepare to take power in the House.

The partial government shutdown won't end before Dec. 27. Negotiations continue, but President Trump maintains that any bill has to include money for his wall, a demand Democrats still reject.

A government shutdown is expected as President Trump continues to demand border wall funding and Democrats in Congress say they won't support the 5 billion dollars he wants.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is retiring after three years in the post. He became a national figure touting entitlement reforms but failed to enact any.

A narrowly divided Senate is putting two Republican women who support abortion rights and three red-state Democrats in the spotlight as the critical votes in the Supreme Court confirmation process.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that a vote to fill a Supreme Court vacancy would be a "top priority." Now a confirmation vote to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy will come just months before the midterms.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's decision not to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court during the 2016 election helped the GOP reshape the court. Justice Neil Gorsuch's role in high profile 5-4 rulings this week demonstrates the consequences of that decision, and the pay off for conservatives.
