George Santos Braces for Expulsion from Congress, Wearing it as a Badge of Honor

TL;DR Summary
Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) predicts he will be expelled from Congress this week following a scathing report from the House Ethics Committee, which found "substantial evidence" of ethics violations and criminal activity. Santos, facing 23 federal charges, including fraud and money laundering, described the report as "slanderous" and accused his colleagues of trying to force him out. If expelled, Santos would be the first lawmaker removed in modern times without a criminal conviction. The House can consider the expulsion motion after Thanksgiving break, and a two-thirds vote is required for expulsion.
