A House Democrat responded Tuesday to GOP efforts to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) by forcing his own vote to censure Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.).

Why it matters: It's a prime example of censure increasingly being used as a partisan weapon rather than the House's most harsh rebuke from rule-breaking aside from expulsion.

The introduction of censure resolutions, along with impeachment, expulsion and contempt measures, has spiked in recent years.

Members of both parties have also been pushing back against the trivialization of censure by voting to defeat censure measures against members of the opposing party.

Driving the news: Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) took to the House floor Tuesday to force a vote on her resolution censuring Omar for her critical comments and posts about Charlie Kirk following his assassination last week.

Mace's resolution would kick Omar off the House Budget and Education & Welfare Committees.

In response, Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced a measure that would censure Mills but not kick him off committees

1. *sigh* Why only a censure from us?

We have to start doing politics the “Chicago way.”

2. What does this mean? Are the Democrats supposed to resort to violence and murder?

Or will just breaking knuckles and kneecaps be enough?

4. The bigger question is why weren't the other media reporting this?

I could only find it on Axios, and "by luck of checking" as it is (and since Axios throws up paywalls, I was thankfully able to get the msn wire version).

Answer = the media wants to continue the narrative that "Democrats are doing nothing and are cowering, 'divided', in the corner".

3. How does he get a recommended lesser penalty for all this whe she was exercising free speech? What did I miss?

The Mills resolution centers on reports and allegations of domestic violence and sexual misconduct, stolen valor, making false financial disclosures and committing campaign finance violations.

Mace is like a neglected carousel pony with a hormone imbalance. What will she think of next to use to feed her attention addiction?

5. "Mace is like a neglected carousel pony with a hormone imbalance."

You forgot the rest of the story -

Mace is like a neglected carousel pony with a hormone imbalance, who had been dumped in a warehouse, and gets dragged out to make it look like the carousel is functioning, and then gets thrown back into storage.
