Republicans Break Ranks in Humiliating Snub to Trump
Patrick van Katwijk / Patrick van Katwijk/Getty Images Six House Republicans have broken with Donald Trump on immigration, forcing a floor vote to restore temporary legal protections for some 350,000 Haitians living in the U.S. The bill, co-introduced by Democrat Rep. Laura Gillen and Republican Rep. Michael Lawler, who both represent New York districts, would keep Haitians eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for three years—a program designed for people from countries gripped by armed conflict or environmental disaster. It marks the first time Republican lawmakers have voted to oppose Trump’s immigration policy since he returned to the White House. Many of the Republicans who broke ranks are facing increasingly difficult routes to re-election at the mid-terms as the threat of a blue wave terrifies Republicans. Read more at The Daily Beast.

Bravo Reality Star Announces Run for Congress
Roy Rochlin / Getty Images for Supermodels Unl Luke Gulbranson, the reality TV star from Summer House on Bravo and Selling the OC on Netflix, is running for Congress in Minnesota. The 42-year-old made the announcement on Wednesday in a video released on YouTube. “Yeah, I’ve been on reality TV,” he said. “But that’s drama for show. What’s happening in D.C. is real drama with real consequences and the stakes couldn’t be higher.” Gulbranson’s campaign launch highlighted his rough upbringing and his opposition to moves by the Trump administration, including ICE’s aggressive immigration crackdown and spending on the war with Iran. “I see what’s happening to our country and I care way too much to look away,” he said. Gulbranson is running on the Democrat-Farmer-Labor ticket, which is Minnesota’s affiliate of the Democratic Party. He is seeking to unseat incumbent Republican Rep. Pete Stauber in a district that spreads north from just outside the Minneapolis metro area to a vast area near the shores of Lake Superior known as the Iron Range. Stauber has held his seat since 2019. If successful, Gulbranson would not be the first reality TV star from the Upper Midwest to serve in Congress. Current Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy starred in MTV’s The Real World: Boston before going on to represent Wisconsin’s 7th district as a Republican.

Cynthia Lummis, who was elected in 2020 with Donald Trump’s endorsement, spoke Tuesday about one bad trend in her home state: food insecurity.

Lindsey Graham Confronted Over ‘Little Mermaid’ Bubble Wand
The Daily Beast/TMZ South Carolina Senator and Disney enjoyer Lindsey Graham was confronted by TMZ on Capitol Hill over his Little Mermaid bubble wand on Monday. The outlet shared a video of one of their reporters asking the childless MAGA senator about when he was photographed holding the children’s toy while visiting Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, late last month. “Senator Graham, how are you, man?” the reporter asked Graham, 70, who raised his hand up to signal he was not interested. “I’m from TMZ. Could I just ask you about the bubble wand, sir?” The GOP lawmaker did not respond, staying silent as he walked up the stairs to his office at the Russell Building alongside staffers. The Daily Beast reached out to Graham for comment. Late last month, the hawkish senator was photographed on vacation at the children’s theme park while the government was shut down and Congress was out of session. One photo shared with TMZ captured Graham in the Fantasyland section of the park, holding a young girl’s bubble wand while she was in the bathroom. In a statement to the outlet, Graham said: “I was invited to a meeting in South Florida on Friday with Trump official Steve Witkoff... to talk about the possibility of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. I went to Orlando to meet friends after.” Read it at TMZ Read more at The Daily Beast.
House Launches Sexual Misconduct Investigation Into Swalwell
Anna rose Layden/Reuters The House Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell as he faces mounting accusations of sexual misconduct. The California lawmaker announced late Sunday that he was ending his bid for governor as he faces allegations of assault and misconduct despite denying the allegations. The 45-year-old has been accused by four separate women of sexual misconduct, including a former staffer who says the Democratic lawmaker raped her, according to reports by CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle. On Monday, the House Ethics Committee announced it was launching a probe “with respect to allegations that he may have engaged in sexual misconduct, including towards an employee working under his supervision.“ The Daily Beast asked Swalwell’s office for comment on the new investigation. The California lawmaker has repeatedly denied the allegations and vowed to fight them. Swalwell is facing bipartisan calls to resign or be expelled from Congress as lawmakers grow fed up on Capitol Hill. The effort picked up steam over the weekend as multiple Democrats and Republicans said they would vote to remove both the California Democrat and Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales. Gonzales was also accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by staff. While he ended his reelection bid, the Texas Republican remains in Congress. GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna wrote on Sunday that she was filing a motion to expel Swalwell. In another post, the Florida congresswoman called Swalwell and Gonzales “a disgrace.” New Mexico Democratic Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez indicated she would introduce the resolution against Gonzales. The escalating criticism comes as members of the House return this week from a more than two-week vacation, facing a series of pressing issues. But multiple lawmakers were quick to weigh in, voicing support for removing both men. Read more at The Daily Beast.
