Tennessee House Republicans voted to expel two of three Democratic lawmakers for "disorderly behavior," after leading a demonstration inside the state Capitol against gun violence. It marks the first time in state history that any House member has been removed for violating the chamber's rules on decorum.
In a bombshell report, the nonprofit newsroom ProPublica found that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been treated to lavish gifts and vacations by a GOP mega donor for years. The revelations have prompted calls from progressive lawmakers to impeach Thomas for violating federal ethics laws.
And in headlines: Idaho has made it illegal to help pregnant minors travel out-of-state for an abortion without their parents' consent, the Supreme Court made its first decision on transgender athletes, and Sean "Diddy" Combs said he’s still paying Sting for sampling 'Every Breath You Take.'
