John Berman.The House of Representatives is expected to vote on a bill that would grant statehood to Washington, DC. Sen. Lindsey Graham calls it a “power grab.”

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) said Friday she's suing the Biden administration for denying the state permits to hold an Independence Day fireworks display at Mount Rushmore.
Context: The National Parks Service denied the permits over tribal opposition to the celebration and potential risks regarding the health and safety of both the park and guests, citing the coronavirus pandemic and fire hazards.
Kansas state Rep. Mark Samsel was arrested on charges of misdemeanor battery on Thursday after getting into a physical altercation with a student while substitute teaching in Wellsville.
Samsel, 36, was booked into the Franklin County Adult Detention Center after 3:30 p.m. Thursday. He has since been released on $1,000 bond, Sheriff Jeff Richards said.
Superintendent Ryan Bradbury said that Samsel will no longer be allowed to work for the district.
On Wednesday, Samsel, R-Wellsville, was substitute teaching at the Wellsville school district’s secondary school. Throughout the day, high school students began recording videos of the lawmaker talking about suicide, sex, masturbation, God and the Bible.
In one video shared with The Star, Samsel tells students about “a sophomore who’s tried killing himself three times,” adding that it was because “he has two parents and they’re both females.”
Videos shared with The Star — by parents of students in the class — show Samsel focusing most of his attention on one male student. Both Samsel and the student paced around the classroom, talking back and forth. Samsel is shown following the student around and grabbing him. In one video, he puts his arms around the student and says that he was being hard on him.
At one point, Samsel tells the student, “You’re about ready to anger me and get the wrath of God. Do you believe me when I tell you that God has been speaking to me?” He then pushes him, and the student runs to the other side of the classroom.
“You should run and scream.”
In another video, he tells students, “Class, you have permission to kick him in the balls.”
Parents told The Star that Samsel “put hands on the student” and allegedly kneed him in the crotch. In a video apparently taken immediately after the incident, the student is shown on the ground. Samsel is standing over him and says, “did it hurt?”
And will they be before or after the State GOP puts him up for Governor?
South Dakota AG's military promotion on hold as he faces criminal charges in fatal crash
The state's top attorney allegedly killed a man with his car.
The U.S. Army Reserve halted South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg’s promotion to full colonel pending the outcome of a criminal case in which Ravnsborg is accused of fatally striking a man with his car, authorities said.
Ravnsborg said last month on social media that he was up for promotion in the U.S. Army Reserve from lieutenant colonel to colonel. But an official with the Army Reserve confirmed to NBC News on Tuesday that Ravnsborg’s potential promotion is delayed until his criminal case concludes.
A promotion to colonel in the Army Reserve is usually presented to the U.S. Senate for confirmation.
“Army Reserve leadership is aware of the tragic incident allegedly involving LTC Jason Ravnsborg and is following applicable Army regulations and policies,” said Lt. Col. Simon B. Flake, a spokesman with the U.S. Army Reserve. “Soldiers pending investigation by civilian law enforcement authorities and/or civilian criminal proceedings may still be eligible for selection for promotion, but the Army Reserve retains discretion regarding actual promotion. In this case, relevant Army Reserve leaders will monitor the ongoing civilian proceedings and make further decisions at the appropriate time.”
The military can place holds on promotions if a criminal case in a federal or state court is pending against the officer, federal law states.
A former aide accused U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) of allowing his son to live in a storage space in the basement of the U.S. Capitol for several weeks and recklessly exposing staffers to the novel coronavirus, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court Thursday.
Former aide Brandon L. Pope accused Lamborn, 66, of Colorado Springs, of consistently disregarding “ethical rules and guidelines” for lawmakers, including taking a “reckless” approach to the pandemic and retaliating against Pope when he raised objections.
Pope, whose lawsuit said he was fired after working from May until December as a defense and business adviser, asked a federal judge to find that the eight-term member of Congress violated workplace rights under the Congressional Accountability Act and to award compensatory and punitive damages.
Stupid.Hours after launching his campaign for governor, a Nevada Republican who had not yet received the coronavirus vaccine said he had just tested positive for the virus.
John Lee, the mayor of North Las Vegas, launched his campaign to unseat Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak on Monday. His entrance into the 2022 race came weeks after he had switched parties, accusing Democrats of drifting toward socialism and embracing "cancel culture."
Lee, a 65-year-old cancer survivor and former state lawmaker who was elected mayor in 2013 and reelected in 2017, announced his positive test in a Facebook post on Monday night -- without explaining why he had not been vaccinated.
I spoke this afternoon to a friend. We use the same guy as handyman. He is a senior citizen who does good work so there are several of us who use him for small jobs. He is currently trying to recuperate from a nasty case of COVID-19. He should have gotten vaccinated. (We don't discuss religion or politics with him, but I suspect I know who he voted for last November.) I hope he makes a full recovery. Not only is he good at carpentry, the dogs love him and I don't worry about him letting them outside when he is working in our house.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 6:04 pm https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... li=BBnb7Kz

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) has been ordered to pay a $5,000 fine for bypassing the House security screening last week, according to the House Committee on Ethics and the House sergeant-at-arms.
Foxx is the latest person to have been sanctioned under a resolution passed in February penalizing lawmakers who seek to bypass the security screening measures created in the wake of the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. Members face a $5,000 fine for the first offense and $10,000 each time thereafter.
A spokesman for Foxx did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and it is not clear whether the lawmaker plans to appeal. Members have 30 days from the date they were notified of the fine to file an appeal.
Five rural Oregon counties voted Tuesday in favor of considering a permanent move to Idaho in efforts to join a more conservative political environment.
Voters in Malheur, Sherman, Grant, Baker and Lake counties passed a measure that would require county officials to promote and discuss moving the Idaho border west, and incorporate their populations. The counties would join Union and Jefferson counties in Idaho. The predominant industries in the counties that voted to join Idaho are timber, mining, trucking and farming.
The measure might capture local sentiment, but actually moving the border would require much wider support, including the approval of both Oregon and Idaho state legislatures. It would also require approval from Congress.
The efforts were led by the grassroots group Move Oregon’s Border for a Greater Idaho, which believes adding conservative counties to Idaho would benefit the state. The group cites Oregon’s lack of rural representation in the legislature, the state’s 2020 drug decriminalization law, and the state’s tax rate as reasons to move out of the state.
Yawn. Just another example of the conservatives and white supremacists in the Pacific Northwest trying to create a white ethnostate or a conservative paradise. Remember the "State of Jefferson," which got some airplay in the time of the MNWR insurrection? I think Kenneth Medenbach, that delusional land-stealer, was one of the louder proponents back then.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 12:42 pm https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... order-move
