Houlahan said Johnson said he’d half to censure half the house if he enforced the rules.
Houlahan:
“After my discussion on the House floor last week when Speaker Johnson told me he’d have to censure half the members if he actually enforced the rules of the Congress, I decided to help, and tonight introduced a resolution to censure Representative Boebert for her racist and derogatory statements about Representative Al Green (D-TX),”
I bear witness: Rep. Lauren Boebert bursting out of the House Women's restroom during this afternoon's vote series , complaining to security personnel stationed in the nearby Speakers Lobby of "a guy" inside the bathroom... 1/4.
Intrigued, I stuck around to see who would emerge from the bathroom...and saw just 4 other people leave, all women. Within minutes, however, Boebert was storming back from the House floor into the restroom, -- reinforced by Rep. Nancy Mace in tow ...2/4
Who would dare leave this scene now? Not me. Mace is author of the resolution prohibiting transgender women in the chamber from using the women’s restroom. But alas, just seconds after this duo entered the bathroom, they come back out -- and went back quietly to the floor. 3/4
A bit of bathroom vigilantism? I later asked Boebert what this was all about, noting I had heard her complain there was "a guy" in there. To her credit, she acknowledged it was a mistake. "There was a rumor there was, but it wasn't true," she told me.
Call me human filth (know some of you will no matter what) but I believe the companies you are forced to give your business to out of necessity should not be able to price gouge, especially during hard times. Xcel is raising gas prices as Colorado is being hit by a dangerous -20 Arctic front that's going to last 112 hrs. We need to prevent corporations from profiting on pain, expand energy production in LNG, as well as nuclear, wind, solar, and build more efficient delivery grids. Stay safe, everyone.
I don’t have the right words. Rep. Willford is my friend, she has spent her career standing up for so many. I am grateful for her bravery - standing up for women and for your bravery in protecting women in the future. We stand with you my friend!

Louisville CO also experienced low/no pressure in its fire hydrants during the Marshall Fire.
Had nothing to do with water storage.
Equating the two would appear to be one of the more disingenuous things you could do today.
