☆ Democrats concerned over Tlaib’s anti-Israel rhetoric, but are not backing new GOP censure efforts
  + stars: | 2023-11-06 | by ( Melanie Zanona | Annie Grayer | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Two Republican lawmakers have filed separate resolutions to censure Tlaib this week, after a similar effort failed last week. “I have been really careful, partly because our Michigan delegation is so small, and we work together,” Stevens told CNN. “Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider is circulating a statement condemning Tlaib’s recent comments but stopped short of saying he supports a censure resolution. Last week, 23 House Republicans opposed a Tlaib censure resolution led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. But a censure motion is not the way to do it.”The proposed Tlaib censure has sparked a tit-for-tat among lawmakers looking to target one another across the aisle.

House Democrats were mostly stuck in DC for 3 weeks as the GOP struggled to choose a new speaker. Some Democrats told Insider they found a silver lining, like hitting the gym or dog-sitting. That left Democrats, already lined up behind House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, scrambling to find other things to fill the time. "I almost forget what it's like to be in committee at this point," Rep. Becca Balint of Vermont told Insider on Tuesday. Balint said that a "personal source of joy" for her was getting to dog sit Rep. Sharice Davids' rescue dog, Peanut.

Alluding to ongoing investigations into Santos' actions, Garcia also said that Santos has "committed financial and campaign fraud. A small group of House Republicans, including some of Santos' New York colleagues, have called on him to resign.
