#HouseRepublicans have driven the #HouseofRepresentatives into confusion and legal limbo.

Let's be clear - the chaos we've seen for the last 3 days is a direct result of the #Republican establishment normalizing & enabling far-right extremists at the expense of the American people.
It was only a matter of time until it caught up to them.

I welcomed 112 high school students from the Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies. I was able to bring the students on the House of Representatives Floor just before the chamber was used to continue the historic series of votes as the House attempts to elect a Speaker.

The 6th round of voting for Speaker of the House has ended and we’re running out of ways to say that Kevin McCarthy still does not have the votes to secure the position.
A 7th vote will take place.

The US has agreed $281m funding to Ethiopian Airlines despite congressional opposition.
Sherman's letter below references our CNN investigation in which we found evidence Ethiopian Airlines transported weapons for the war in Tigray, an apparent violation of aviation law.

Until #Ethiopia implements the Pretoria peace deal, @EximBankUS shouldn't approve a loan to #Ethiopa

The Republicans are in disarray. As we start a fifth Roll Call vote, we still cannot elect a #Speaker.
The record is 133 Roll Call votes, set in 1855.
Records were made to be broken.

Those who steal $1,000 are not treated with this kind of deference. Some judges just can’t countenance a billionaire (or pseudo billionaire) having to spend time in pre-trail lockup. (2/2)

I'm working with my colleagues on a letter to EXIM that urges them to delay action on this loan. The approval of this loan before the full implementation of #Ethiopia's obligations under the peace agreement would be a mistake & out of line w/the stated positions of the Admin. 2/2
