Republican lawmakers got caught for blatantly defying Capitol security — now they'll have to pay the price

After the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol Building, security measures were put in place to protect members of Congress. Some GOP lawmakers, however, have complained that they find the measures intrusive. And according to Forbes reporter Andrew Solender, the House Ethics Committee has confirmed that two Republicans serving in the U.S. House of Representatives have been fined for evading security screenings at the House floor: Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia.

Acting House Sergeant-at-Arms Timothy Blodget, in letters sent to House Ethics Committee Chairman Ted Deutch, noted that in February, Gohmert was fined $5,000 and Clyde received two separate fines — one for $5,000, another for $10,000. Between the two, Clyde was fined $15,000. Those letters to Deutch were released by the House Ethics Committee on Thursday, according to Solender.

House sends 'historic' $1.9 trillion relief bill to Biden's desk after no Republican votes for crucial aid

With the backing of three-quarters of the U.S. public but not a single Republican member of Congress, the House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package that would send direct payments to around 280 million people, extend emergency unemployment programs, slash child poverty in half with a year-long expansion of the child tax credit, and boost funding for vaccine distribution.

The legislation, dubbed the American Rescue Plan, now heads to President Joe Biden's desk. The president, who is expected to sign the bill into law on Friday, said over the weekend that eligible Americans can expect to start receiving direct relief payments later this month.Just one House Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted against the relief package.

Marjorie Taylor Greene furious Feds forcing Americans to get COVID vaccine, because ‘freedom’ (they’re not)

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) launched into a diatribe Wednesday, outraged that the federal government is forcing "citizens" to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, despite the fact that there is no law requiring anyone in the U.S. to do so. The federal government legally cannot mandate the vaccine because it was authorized by the FDA only for "emergency use." Should a law pass in the future, President Joe Biden had said last year he opposes making it mandatory.

"It should be a choice, it's freedom," the "QAnon Congresswoman" told Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody, on the new far right streaming network Real America's Voice. "It's, you know, having these two classes of citizens, basically the ones that have taken the vaccine and then the supposedly 'bad people' that haven't taken the vaccine, I would be one of those people in that classification of of citizens, it's because, you know, myself, probably you and many others."
