House votes to censure Rep. Jamaal Bowman for fire alarm stunt
The House of Representatives is formally reprimanding Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., on Thursday morning over his pulling of a fire alarm earlier this year. The House voted largely along party lines, 214 to 191, to censure Bowman, who pulled the alarm despite no immediate threat of a fire in the middle of a dramatic floor vote. Three Democrats voted with Republicans to censure him – Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., Chris Pappas, D-N.H., and Jahana Hayes, D-Conn. Five members of the House Ethics Committee voted “present.” Lawmakers were on Capitol Hill on Saturday, Sept. 30, for an intense day of negotiation aimed at averting a government shutdown when the clock struck midnight. ‘SQUAD’ MEMBER FACES ATTACK FROM WITHIN OWN PARTY OVER ISRAEL STANCE AMID DEM INFIGHTING ON GAZA As Democrats stalled for more time before a vote on the House GOP’s funding extension, chaos briefly broke out in the Cannon House Office Building on the Capitol complex when a fire alarm rang out, forcing the building to be evacuated. Video and eyewitness testimony soon revealed that it had been pulled by Bowman, a member of the progressive left-wing “Squad” and a former school principal. There was no emergency going on at the time. NY DEM TEES UP PRIMARY AGAINST ‘SQUAD’ MEMBER UNDER FIRE FOR ISRAEL STANCE, FIRE ALARM FIASCO Bowman denied doing it on purpose to give his colleagues more time, telling reporters after the incident, “I was rushing to make a vote, I was trying to get through a door. I thought the alarm would open the door.” He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in late October and agreed to pay the maximum $1,000 fine. The censure resolution was introduced by Rep. Lisa McLain, R-Mich., as “privileged” on Tuesday, meaning the House was forced to act on it within two legislative days. REP BOWMAN SAYS THERE MUST BE ‘CLEAR DISTINCTION’ BETWEEN ISRAEL’S CITIZENS, GOVERNMENT A Democratic vote to stop the censure from coming to the House floor failed 216 to 201, with the top Democrat on the ethics committee, Rep. Susan Wild, D-Pa., voting “present.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., accused House Republicans of trying to waste time by moving ahead with the motion after their bid failed on Wednesday evening. “We’re all on the House floor wasting time talking about fire alarms. Not the economy, not inflation, not affordable housing, not lowering costs, not the gun violence epidemic that continues to claim the lives of our young people all across America,” Jeffries said.
Eric Adams’ approval rating careens below 30% as NYC struggles under migrant crisis: Poll
New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ approval rating has plummeted to the lowest level the city has recorded, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll. The poll, released Wednesday, has Adams at just 28% support among self-identified registered voters. Adams’ administration has struggled for more than a year to address the city’s immigration crisis. The rating is the lowest Quinnipiac has ever recorded for an New York City mayor since it began tracking the statistic in 1996. Broken down by issue, 33% of New Yorkers approve of Adams’ work on crime, while 60% disapprove. On public schools, 31% support him and 53% disapprove. On immigration, 26% approve and 66% disapprove. On the city budget, 22% approve and 66% disapprove. His worst issue is that of homelessness, however, where just 22% support his policies and a massive 72% disapprove. Quinnipiac conducted its poll from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4, surveying 1,297 self-identified registered voters via landline and cellphones. The poll reported a margin of error of 2.7%. BILL MAHER CONFRONTS CUOMO ON NURSING HOME SCANDAL, EX-NY GOV CALLS QUESTIONS ‘MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING’ KEVIN MCCARTHY, MATT GAETZ TRADE JABS AS FIERCE RIVALRY CONTINUES: HE ‘BELONGS IN JAIL’ Adams’ time in office has suffered from political scandal in addition to his policy woes. The FBI has launched a probe into his campaign finances, and Adams was hit with a sexual assault accusation last month by a woman who claims to be his former colleague. Adams denied the accusation in a statement to the press prior to Thanksgiving. “The mayor does not know who this person is. If they ever met, he doesn’t recall it. But he would never do anything to physically harm another person and vigorously denies any such claim,” a City Hall spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement. ADAMS SAYS ‘DC HAS ABANDONED US’ AS NYC SLASHES BUDGETS OVER MIGRANT CRISIS Meanwhile, the migrant crisis has plagued Adams’ administration for more than a year, causing a feud between not only New York City and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, but also with the White House and President Biden. Abbott’s administration has transported tens of thousands of migrants from overwhelmed border towns to New York City, outraging city officials. Adams has blasted Biden’s White House for not providing adequate federal assistance to contain the crisis, fracturing their relationship.

Colorado Republican joins crowded field vying for Rep. Ken Buck’s seat after surprising retirement
EXCLUSIVE: Another Colorado Republican is joining an already crowded field of contenders to replace Rep. Ken Buck in the House. Jerry Sonnenberg, a rancher and former Colorado state senator, will announce his bid for the GOP nomination for the 4th District seat in Colorado. Four other Republicans and three Democrats have also declared their candidacy for Buck’s seat. “Rural Coloradans and hardworking families all across this district need a voice in Washington who understands our community, our principled conservative values, our way of life, and our unique challenges,” Sonnenberg said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. Sonnenberg has deep ties in the solidly Republican rural Colorado district. He served on the Colorado Farm Bureau board of directors before being elected to the state House in 2006 – where he was the only farmer and rancher in the chamber – and was elected as a state senator in 2014. KEY FREEDOM CAUCUS MEMBER PREDICTS HOUSE GOP WILL FALL SHORT OF GOVERNMENT FUNDING GOALS “We need strong, conservative leadership in Congress to stand up and fight for people who’ve been left out of D.C.’s priorities. Whether you are a farmer or a rancher, a small business owner, a mom or dad raising your kids in suburban Colorado, or a young person making a life here, I will be your principled voice in D.C. because I’ve proven that I know how to stand up for our values and deliver results,” Sonnenberg said. Sonnenberg denied in September that he would consider challenging Buck for the GOP nomination. “I support Congressman Buck as he represents the 4th District in Colorado,” he told The Hill, following reports that he may be considering a run for the seat. At the time, Buck himself said he would seek re-election. Three candidates made moves to run for the seat before Buck even dropped out in early November. State Rep. Richard Holtorf, a former U.S. Army colonel and rancher, Navy veteran Trent Leisy, and candidate Justin Schreiber, all made moves to potentially challenge Buck in the GOP primary scheduled for June 25, 2024. Deborah Flora, a radio host and parental choice advocate, announced her bid just after Buck said he would not run again. Sonnenberg enters the race with over a dozen endorsements from local leaders, including county commissioners, law enforcement and state legislators, who praised his knowledge of local issues and conservative values. HOW EXODUS FROM CONGRESS COULD SHAPE 2024 ELECTION “Jerry is a true leader who has a servant’s heart. He is clearly the best choice to represent Congressional District 4,” said former state Senate Minority Leader John Cooke in an endorsement. Buck, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, announced his departure weeks after voting to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. First elected in 2014, Buck recently drew ire from members of the GOP for speaking against the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
