GOP senator challenges Teamsters president to fight during hearing

GOP senator challenges Teamsters president to fight during hearing

Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R), a former mixed martial arts fighter, nearly came to blows with the president of the Teamsters at a Senate hearing on Tuesday, forcing Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to step in to stop a brawl from breaking out in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee room. 

So to recap, here's what Republicans are up to today

-- one House Republican accused another of sucker punching him in the Capitol

-- for the second time in recent months, a Republican senator challenged a hearing witness to a fistfight

Another Stable Genius Bankruptcy?

A new securities filing shows Donald Trump has incurred major financial losses with his social media venture, Truth Social.

The Hollywood Reporter published a review of financial disclosures from Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Trump’s alternative to X (formerly Twitter). As TMTG’s merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) remains stalled, the form shows that Truth Social lost $50 million on $1.4 million of net sales last year, and lost $23 million this year against the $2.3 million it brought in.

But there’s one figure in particular the party has focused on for quite a while.

On the first day of the current Congress, Republican Rep. Pat Fallon of Texas filed articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and his resolution currently has 47 GOP cosponsors.

It's unclear how many people left without voting, and activists and local leaders say election officials' failure is shocking, especially in a state where civil rights leaders were beaten or killed in the 1960s and earlier to secure voting rights for Black residents.
