House Speaker Kevin McCarthy boasted about gaining enough support to pass a 45-day stopgap spending measure requiring Democrat votes to pass the lower chamber.
Eager to avoid a government shutdown, House Republicans have offered up a "clean" stopgap to fund the government for another 45 days sans Ukraine aid. Desperate to delay the vote, Democrat Jamaal Bowman had a totally rational, legal, and ethical response: to pull the fire alarm, setting off chaos in Cannon.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., falsely accused House Republicans of attempting to “provide themselves with a pay raise" Saturday amid negotiations on a bill to avoid a government shutdown.
A federal judge ruled that parts of a Maryland gun law restricting where owners can carry can be blocked, including where alcohol is sold, private property and public demonstrations.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman confirmed that he triggered a fire alarm Saturday in the Cannon Building, with his chief of staff adding that the congressman "regrets any confusion" over the incident.
