(8,380 posts)7. New House rules prohibit members from rebroadcasting manipulated media
I believe the sanction listed was loss of floor debate privileges.
It prioritizes ethics and accountability in the Peoples House. That includes through changes that would remove floor privileges from former Members convicted of crimes related to their House service or election; make it a violation of the Code of Official Conduct for a Member, officer, or employee of the House to disclose the identity of a whistleblower; make it a violation of the Code of Official Conduct for a Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House to disseminate manipulated media, including photos and videos, known as deepfakes; strengthen Truth in Testimony disclosures to provide Members and the public with more information on the witnesses appearing before committees; protect whistleblowers in the House from being retaliated against for providing truthful information; and make permanent an office dedicated to providing assistance and training to congressional staff in order to properly and securely handle whistleblowers who reach out to congressional offices.

Thankfully, this happened early in her term. Who knows what or to whom she'd have given info to.
