Russian delegates met with five U.S. lawmakers on Capitol Hill in a meeting organized by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, drawing swift criticism from pro-Ukraine voices who warn such access poses a security risk and could undermine U.S. policy amid Russia-Ukraine and Russia-Iran tensions; the State Department confirmed the meetings and said a junior official would take notes.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Rep. Brandon Gill pressed Senate Leader John Thune on Fox News to move the SAVE America Act, which would require identification to vote in federal elections. They warned no Senate legislation would pass without a debate and vote, and signaled they could attach the measure to FISA if needed, while accusing the Senate of wasting time on a “dog parade.” Gill estimated 40–50 Republicans are prepared to stand firm on the issue as Luna vows to “hold the line” against the Senate’s inaction.
Three House Republican women—Boebert, Luna, and Mace—are pressuring Rep. Tony Gonzales to address allegations of an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide, as newly released texts spark ethics scrutiny and threaten his primary bid. Speaker Mike Johnson calls the claims serious but has not moved to remove endorsements, while Gonzales denies any improper relationship.
Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has referred Fed Chair Jerome Powell to the DOJ for allegedly lying under oath about the costs and details of the Fed's Washington headquarters renovation, amid ongoing political attacks and controversy over the project's expenses and transparency.
Comedian Dave Chappelle was spotted on Capitol Hill where he took a selfie with Republican Representatives Lauren Boebert and Anna Paulina Luna. Boebert captioned the photo, "Just three people who understand that there's only two genders." Chappelle, who was reportedly at the Capitol for a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus, explained that he hangs out on the hill to catch up with old friends. The politically incorrect comedian has faced criticism in the past for his jokes about marginalized communities, including his recent comments about Israel's actions in Palestine.
House GOP hardliners are pushing for quick impeachment votes against President Joe Biden, with at least three members pursuing separate impeachment resolutions. However, any quick resolution is likely to fail, with Democrats only needing a few Republicans to join them as opponents in the narrowly divided House. This new tactic is causing a headache for Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who has urged his members not to pursue impeachment. The rush to impeachment votes comes after Rep. Anna Paulina Luna found success on her second try at forcing the House to censure Rep. Adam Schiff.
The House of Representatives voted against censuring Rep. Adam Schiff over his claims of Trump-Russia collusion during the 2016 election. The censure resolution, proposed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, would have also fined Schiff $16 million. Schiff claimed the motion was retaliation for leading the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump. The resolution was killed by 205 Democrats and 20 Republicans, while 196 GOPers voted to punish Schiff. Schiff famously claimed to have found "more than circumstantial evidence" of collusion and read parts of the now-discredited Steele dossier into the Congressional Record.
Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has filed a resolution to expel Rep. Adam Schiff from Congress, alleging that he pushed a false narrative to the American people in the Trump-Russia investigation. Republicans have been vocal that lawmakers should face the consequences for the report after the Durham report found significant FBI failures and no evidence that Donald Trump's campaign was coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. Schiff struck back in a Twitter post, saying that a "MAGA Republican" wants payback. Members of Congress can be removed by expulsion, which requires a two-thirds vote.
