    Between this idiot and Menendez refusing to resign after his second corruption investigation, the Dems are having a bad week, not even sure what Bowman was thinking, but punishment must be swift and severe, because the Right wing clout chasers are already chirping about it.

    he “did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The Congressman regrets any confusion.”

    huh?

    I don’t understand why a democrat would do this. I would have expected one of the extreme right Republicans to have tried to stop the vote, not a Dem. The bill was strongly supported by the Dems.

      No it wasn’t. After all the GOP’s bullshit, the vote came down to “These Socialists chose funding Ukraine over paying hard working govt employees” and were forced to sign off on a budget that removed all support to Ukraine.

    I don’t even think it’s stupid. The guy risked getting punished for a few more minutes in which a republican congressman could have died of excitement + old age, so ppl would get payd.

    He’s honestly probably going to get half a year in prison. The law says it’s 6 months in prison. The GOP is definitely going to make an example out of him…even though they were assholes and didn’t give democrats the time to look it over

    …y’all realize that this is the type of shit Dems are going to have to do, in order to stand up to the nazi-ruskie right’s bullshit? Stop complaining and get on board before these mfs get enough power to put minorities like me back in the fuckin cotton fields goddammit.

    Edit: reading through the everyone else’s comments, I’m fairly sure it’s just Republicans complaining about the shit, so they can definitely stfu.

    2nd edit: there’s pedos and mfs showing porn to their co workers in office and y’all whining about a goddamn fire drill.

      Way wrong, this is unacceptable behavior.

      Jeffries needs to kick his ass off his committees at minimum. What an embarrassment.
