Democratic lawmaker censured - Gender care rulings - Climate finance summit

Source: House of Representatives

1. Summary
   The House of Representatives has voted along party lines to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for "misleading the American public." Schiff, who used to chair the Intelligence Committee, was censured for comments he made about investigations into former President Trump's alleged ties to Russia and Russia's foreign election interference.
   
   Republicans say Schiff's statements led to the FBI filing an error-ridden application to surveil a former Trump aid, and that Schiff went too far in alleging Trump colluded with Russia. Democrats asked why the GOP has not moved to censure Republican Rep. George Santos. Earlier in the day, Republican House leaders averted a push by conservative Rep. Lauren Boebert to impeach President Biden over his border policy.
   
   The censure is symbolic: it serves as a public condemnation, but does not expel the member or deny them any privileges. Only two other representatives (one Democrat and one Republican) have been censured in the 21st century, both under a Democratic-controlled House.
