Congressman who claimed he’s leaving GOP still plans to caucus with GOP
Over the weekend, Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA) announced he was switching parties to be an independent, denouncing the new California redistricting operation that would draw him out of his congressional seat. He announced, however, that he was making the change "immediately," which is a new detail.
"Today, I filed for reelection as 'No Party Preference.' This means I will not have a party affiliation on the ballot or as an officeholder. That’s how it already is with most offices in our state: mayors, city councilors, school board members, county supervisors, sheriffs, and DAs are all nonpartisan," he wrote on X.
After the video went live, Axios reported that his staff said it wasn't a "done deal" yet. But on Monday, it appeared it was.
As some in the comments asked, "Will you still caucus with the Republicans? Then shut up."
Indeed, Kiley will caucus with Republicans for “administrative purposes” for “the remainder of this term," he claimed.
It puts the current ranking of the House at 217 Republicans, 214 Democrats and Kiley, who will presumably be considered an Independent.
There hasn't been an independent in the House since Rep. Justin Amash, who left the GOP in 2019, noted his libertarian slant when he left the party. He then briefly ran for president. He ran for U.S. Senate in Michigan, but as a Republican again. He lost in the primary.

BitGo wins BaFIN nod to offer regulated crypto trading in Europe
BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
