Lauren Boebert is refusing to comply with the metal detector or allow a bag search. Now standing in the House doorway. Security is refusing to allow her to enter. Appears to be a standstill.

- “I wake up in the middle of the night and I say ‘Jeffries,’” Rep.-elect Maxwell Frost quips to reporters.
- Ocasio-Cortez, who changed her vote from no to present on Iron Dome at the last minute appears visibly upset. Appears to be crying on the House floor, in a hug with Rep. Jayapal

- In front of a crowd of children chanting "we love Ritchie," Rep. Ritchie Torres received an honorary report card at a Jewish day school (SAR Academy) in Riverdale during a visit on the last day of school:
00:00 - Scoop: Shortly after voting in favor of keeping Rep. Ilhan Omar on Foreign Affairs, Reps. Jared Moskowitz and Josh Gottheimer wrote to Speaker McCarthy requesting he establish a House Select Committee on Combating Antisemitism
- In my reporting on the #MO01 race, a key complaint I heard from constituents — even folks who are Jewish and strongly pro-Israel — was a key starting point for their distaste for Bush was that she was unresponsive: didn't answer calls or emails, didn't show up in the district.
- All Jewish Democrats in the House issue a rare joint statement condemning Tucker Carlson's interview with a Holocaust revisionist. Very few instances where they can get everyone on the same page:
- Crazy story here: Jewish & Muslim campus leaders came together to draft statements condemning antisemitism, twice. The College Dems leadership rejected those statements and instead put one out accusing Israel of genocide and backing encampments (1/2)💥Israel politics have upended progressive orgs since 10/7. The College Dems this week pledged support for encampments & called Israel "genocidal," all while ignoring its top Jewish activist "Protect Jewish students, do better"—College Dems Jewish caucus jewishinsider.com/2024/05/colleg…

- Replying to @marcrod97Mike Lawler: “How anyone could call for a ceasefire after watching that — they’re not understanding what is actually happening.”
- Replying to @marcrod97The screening just wrapped up and the overall reaction from members is stunned silence. Many seem at a loss for words. Numerous members crying. Have been told by multiple people that it’s hard to believe things like this are happening in 2023.
- Replying to @marcrod97“I’m feeling like I felt when I went to Birkenau,” Rep. Darrell Issa told me, shaking his head in disbelief. “It’s just war crimes. Unbelievable.”
