Republicans are clinging to a razor-thin 218-213 House majority.
And the GOP's margin will shrink even further after a special congressional election this weekend to fill the seat in a Democrat-dominated district that has been vacant for nearly a year.
That's because the two candidates in Saturday's runoff election in Texas' 18th Congressional District are both Democrats.
Voters in the district, which is anchored by downtown Houston and surrounding areas, head to the polls to choose a successor to fill the seat left vacant when Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner died last March. Sylvester, a former longtime state lawmaker, served two terms as Houston mayor before winning election to Congress in 2024, succeeding

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is looking to recruit a new “top cop” to police nonprofits that “use and abuse” their charity status to dodge taxes, The Post has learned.
Bessent wants to appoint a new senior official at the Treasury Department to scrutinize the finances of charities that engage in excessive political activities, lobbying, or even fraud.
The secretary’s recently departed chief of staff, Michael Friedman, was tasked with drumming up some names for possible candidates before he left to join the SEC three weeks ago. It comes after The Post broke the news in December that the Treasury Department was eyeing a crackdown on nonprofit organizations that enjoy cushy tax-free benefits

A sprawling Islamic complex is planning to open in the Austin suburb of Leander – before being transferred to a national Islamic trust that was identified in federal terrorism prosecutions tied to Hamas financing.
Renaissance Academy, an Islamic school aiming to teach graduates to “fully live the values of Islam” and “play a leading role in American society,” is planning a new 19-acre campus in rural Leander, according to its website. It has already raised $3.3 million and closed on the property.
School officials plan to donate the campus through a “waqf,” an irrevocable religious endowment, to a national Islamic trust such as the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT).

California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services against Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz after a video of his visit to Los Angeles.
On Thursday evening, Newsom announced that his office was filing a civil rights complaint with HHS, accusing Oz of discrimination, The Associated Press reported. According to the complaint, Newsom’s office argued that Oz, in a video, “spewed baseless and racially charged allegations” that risked chilling participation in hospice and home care programs among the Armenian community.
The governor’s office noted Oz's claims had “already caused real-world harm” by reducing business at an

A plastic pig displayed in the window of a newly opened delicatessen on the Piazza dei Signori in the Italian city of Padua has triggered a local controversy after a senior representative of the city’s Muslim community called for its removal, arguing that it is offensive and inappropriate.
The pig, placed in the window of the deli Mortadella… e Non Solo, is used to advertise the shop’s sandwiches and cured meats, which are primarily made from pork. According to Il Giornale, Salim El Mauoed, the regional vice president of Padua’s Muslim community, urged both the shop’s owners and local authorities to intervene, describing the display as “in bad taste” and offensive

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is being urged by Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal to boot right-wing media outlet Newsmax from the Taxi TV monitors that appear in the backseats of thousands of yellow cabs.
Hoylman-Sigal claimed that Newsmax “is not a credible news source for New Yorkers,” in a January 21 letter to Mamdani and Taxi and Limousine Commissioner Midori Valdivia.
Newsmax streams national news programming content in taxis in a partnership with Curbed, one of the TLC’s authorized technology screen providers. But New Yorkers deserve a better news source than Newsmax on Taxi TV, the borough president argued, questioning some of the comments on immigration from hosts on the conservative network.

Through the centuries, many Christians have made the mistake of trying to guess the exact date of the Parousia. I will avoid that error. Christ’s Second Coming will arrive in God’s good time.
I will, however, propose that the Antichrist may already have walked among us for decades.
In an op-ed titled “MAGA’s War on Empathy,” published Thursday by The Atlantic, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton — yes, Hillary Clinton, of all people — opined on what she regarded as the abandonment of Christian principles by Christian leaders, only to discover that those same Christian leaders regard her disapproval as a badge of honor,

Pro-American activists and groups are slamming the establishment’s bipartisan push for a stealth nationwide amnesty that would help progressives and CEOs freely use the huge population of million illegal migrants to sideline American citizens.
The stealth amnesty got a big push forward on Tuesday night when Senate Democrats and Republicans agreed to delay passage of the 2026 funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS bill is now being held back until Senate Democrats and Republicans can include a series of apparently minor changes that would create a huge bureaucratic barrier to the deportation of non-violent illegal migrants.
But pro-American legislators and activists are fighting back.

WASHINGTON -- Foreign leaders and governments presented to former President Joe Biden, his wife, U.S. Cabinet members and other senior officials tens of thousands of dollars in gifts in the last year of the Biden administration, including a $19,000 painting, an $11,000 necklace, a $5,000 bracelet and in one case $15,000 in cash, according to the latest accounting from the State Department.
The annual report, published Thursday in the Federal Register by the department’s Bureau of Protocol, covers calendar year 2024 and does not include any gifts given to President Donald Trump or his administration in the first year of Trump’s second term.
Federal employees are required to report gifts they receive

Migrants from countries other than Mexico have been purchasing false birth or marriage certificates that are then sent to the United States in order to avoid being deported to their country of origin.
The false birth or marriage certificates are being sold by actual government offices of Mexico’s Civil Registry for $1,500 to $2,500, a report from El Universal revealed. The publication found that false birth certificates are being sold from government offices in various border cities in the southern state of Chiapas. Since those documents are expedited out of government offices and are listed in government databases, they may have inconsistencies, but they appear legitimate when officials search for them

SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Immigration and Customs division of the Department of Homeland Security has purchased a behemoth commercial building in Surprise, Arizona, as the agency looks for space to hold immigrants in detention.
Democratic lawmakers in the state say they are concerned the purchase represents the next step in an aggressive crackdown on immigration enforcement, similar to what is unfolding in Minnesota – the site of protests, emergency lawsuits and two deaths of citizens. Minnesota’s Chief Federal Judge has ordered the head of ICE to appear in court on Friday about ICE’s tactics there.
According to Maricopa County Recorder documents, ICE purchased the 418,000-square-foot warehouse for just over $70 million

Lefty New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill urged residents to film ICE agents operating in their neighborhoods and upload the videos to a state “portal” she vowed to launch.
“If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out,” the Democrat, just eight days into her first term as governor of the Garden State, said in a sit-down interview with The Daily Show host Desi Lydic Wednesday night.
Sherill’s administration will soon be launching a “portal,” she said, so New Jerseyans “can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people” about local immigration operations.
It was unclear how much this portal would cost Garden State taxpayers to launch.
