TL;DR

The House is set to consider a resolution to censure Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman for triggering a fire alarm in a House office building, causing an evacuation. Bowman pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for falsely triggering the alarm. Censure is a significant rebuke but carries no explicit penalty. The House will vote on a motion to block the censure resolution, and if unsuccessful, a later vote will determine whether to censure the congressman. This comes after the recent expulsion of GOP Rep. George Santos.
