Cruz is slime, but he's largely shut the fuck up which is why he's flown under the radar. That's started to change. Whatever the fuck her name is flew too close to the damn sun.
EDIT - Editing this because I was wrongly thinking of Senate appts. rather than House. The below is not true. Apologies

Can you serve in Congress from jail? Even if she doesn't get expelled, can't she effectively be outed?
They'll be in jail before you get the 2/3rds necessary to expel them.
Usually when a congress(wo)man ends up in jail they resign before they actually end up there. But, in this case, I'd suspect there would be 2/3rds available because they're in jail.
He immediately shifted to, "Trump's language was unhelpful and bad and I've always called that out" which was obvious bullshit but helped him avoid the same fire Hawley got.
If anyone she took on a tour has been arrested (which seems easy enough for the FBI to prove), oh boy...
I have no clue why, but seeing leaves on the ground under the plant, the frayed rug, the cardboard box, and the mat just haphazardly lying around gives me a weird sense of comfort.
Probably because it's just a regular home and not something fancy covered in gold. A welcomed departure from the last administration.
That wouldn't surprise me either. Does that need a vote?
It looks like a random grandpa just hanging out. It's not some photo op or weird gold trim room.
Going purely by the case of James Trafficant, it looks like he was convicted on April 11, 2002 which triggered an automatic suspension of his ability to vote under House rules. I assume something similar is still in effect. Then there was a House ethics investigation, and the House voted to expel him on July 24th. So The House seems to have the power to allow a member to serve in Congress while imprisoned, but chooses not to exercise it for obvious reasons.

MISTER SPEAKER!!
BEAM ME UP!!
The pardons in general are giving me anxiety and I'm trying not to think about it.
I wouldn't sweat it. Pardons come with the caveat that the pardoned person needs to comply truthfully with investigations still, right?
I don't know the answer to this specifically but I do know that whenever anyone says "don't worry, something something something" someone always comes in and says "actually, no they don't" and links a wikipedia article about how there's no such thing as law because of something Jimmy Carter did or something.
Edit: lots of somethings in this post. Probably a personal record.
How does one legally or electorally remove the GOP cretins who seem to hold state levers of power in Michigan?
Re: Boebert denying giving tours -- will wait for hard proof but if it's there I'm hoping a full investigation follows and she gets her ass booted outta Congress.
Is she just playing semantics here? She didn't give a tour. She just allowed her Q buddies access to be toured through the Capitol. One way or the other, there has got to be evidence of those who were in the building and who signed off on it, I would think.
Seems like a downgrade. I mean what did the last VP actually DO??
This picture says so much about the person entering the presidency versus Trump. Down on the ground with a dog, A potted plant that is somewhat leaning in a stand, wine bottle opener on the ground and a shelving unit that looks like a family uses it and not a serial killer.
What a breath of fresh air.
Not sure if answered already, but I assume the Gov of the state elects a replacement until a special election is called for a proper vote by the people for anyone else that wants to win it proper.
Not to be that something something guy, but FWIW I have heard lawyers assert that that doesn't mean much — people's ability to weasel out of perjury by claiming they simply don't remember is tough to get around if there's no additional leverage to bring to bear on an already-pardoned person.
He has already done more charity work in one day then Trump ever did his entire presidency.
Yep. Saw this coming. Most Michigan republicans in office are FAR right and wouldn't have any issue throwing aside the Constitution for their personal gain.
I also expect this to start happening in more red state legislatures if the state certification board is set up in a similar fashion. 2020 was a dry run. 2024 is going to be a nightmare.
Actually House seats are always filled by elections. No appointments. The seat stays vacant until either a special election is held, or (if it's late in the term) the next general election.
First day looking lit as fuck. First 100 days is going to look even better if he can get more than a few bills to his name.Leaked list of actions that Joe Biden plans to take on Day 1 of his presidency, per CBC news:
If there's criminal activity, FBI data is enough to kick her ass out.

Looks good, except he's also not going to use his powers of the office to get us an update on Metroid Prime 4?
I thought he was having many meetings and making many phonecalls today.
Uhh, feels like that would be easy to prove one way or another
