Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building on Saturday ahead of the House passing a stopgap measure to fund the government ahead of the midnight deadline, causing the building to be evacuated.
Republicans are accusing Bowman of intentionally trying to sabotage the vote, launching an investigation into the incident and preparing legislation to expel him from the House.

Excerpt-—Mr. Bowman identifies as a democratic socialist, has become more visible in his second term. He spent years as a teacher and administrator, won his Bronx and Westchester County seat in 2020, defeating a more moderate three-decade incumbent in a Democratic primary. Mr. Bowman won re-election by a wide margin and as Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has pulled back from some of the fights she helped steer as a new member of Congress.
He said he had begun a series of “passionate engagements” with Republican colleagues..............Mr. Bowman, an avid user of TikTok, made waves this spring when he became the first and, for a time, the only lawmaker to defend the app, which is owned by a Chinese company, as President Biden and national security hawks threatened to ban it from operating in the United States. Other progressives soon joined him in arguing that the push was rooted in “xenophobic anti-China rhetoric.”
All of the attention has fueled speculation that Mr. Bowman is contemplating a primary challenge against Mayor Eric Adams of New York City, a moderate Democrat whose policing and social services policies he has sharply criticized. Mr. Bowman denied that he was gearing up for a run. “No, no, no, I’m chilling — I’m good, man,” he said. “I love being in Congress.”
Mr. Bowman said that he had no real relationship with Ms. Greene when he approached her after just such a vote on Wednesday but that he had been conscious of the effect his presence could have. “I’m not stupid,” he said.
The exchange was pointed, but tame. “Do something about guns!” he said. “Invest in education.”
“Impeach Biden,” Ms. Greene shot back, as she twisted the exchange back toward issues like immigration, blaming Democrats for the influx of migrants crossing the southern border. She shook a fist at one point, but the scrum appeared to break up amicably.
After Ms. Greene’s comments on Thursday, Mr. Bowman accused her of recklessly using “a bullhorn to white nationalists.” Nick Dyer, a spokesman for Ms. Greene, rejected Mr. Bowman’s complaint, saying it was Ms. Greene who faced constant death threats. “Mr. Bowman doesn’t need to play victim,” he said. “He needs to recognize his targeting of Congresswoman Greene will encourage this violence.”
Insurrection. Obstruction of an Official Proceeding. That is typically good for 10-20 years in the gulag.
I like Mr. Bowman now. TikTok is more like X (formerly known as Twitter). They allow free speech. Something the Biden Administration is trying to restrict.
Bowman bearates MTG.
We all know nothing will come of this. He’ll issue a non-apology apology, the NAACP will jump in, and business will continue.
Lock Jamal up.
Make him serve the rest of his life.
I expect he will be severely punished. Probably with something so harsh as a Strongly Worded Letter. Heck they may even go so far as to sign the Strongly Worded Letter with RED ink!
/wish I was entirely joking
There’s no money involved, so the investigation will be swift and immediate. If he took $4 million to pull the alarm, the investigation would determine it was faulty wiring in 2032, and recommend additional funding for a new alarm system.
Let’s hope some stupid Republican doesn’t call for a lynching.
Communists walk in the USA these days.

Simple solution, fine the bastard $200 thousand.
Should lose his position immediately, be precluded from ever participating in American politics again, be stripped of his voting rights, and be thrown in jail, AT THE LEAST. This is a person that thinks whatever he wants supersedes the rights of American citizens. A**h**e.
He needs to be in solitary confinement until they decide to charge him. Then he needs a kangaroo trial and a ten year sentence for a 30 day crime.
Not a thing was done.
Republicans are accusing Bowman of intentionally trying to sabotage the vote.......
