In anticipation of his likely expulsion from the House of Representatives, Rep. George Santos (R-New York) said that he would “wear it like a badge of honor.”
Santos was indicted on federal charges that include money laundering, identity theft and wire fraud. He has also been accused of swindling campaign donors and using their money for purchases at Hermes, subscription fan sites and Botox. He is no longer seeking re-election and is preparing to go to trial next September.
In an X Spaces hosted by conservative commentator Monica Matthews on Friday, Santos said he expected to be expelled when the House votes on the matter this coming week.
“I don’t care,” he said about his impending removal. “You want to expel me? I’ll wear it like a badge of honor. I’ll be the sixth expelled member of Congress in the history of Congress. And guess what? I...

On Friday, the Republican chairman of the bipartisan House Ethics Committee introduced a resolution to expel Rep. George Santos (R-New York) from Congress.
The committee’s report, released on Thursday afternoon, documented multiple violations of House rules and substantial evidence of campaign fraud.
The committee’s chairman, Rep. Michael Guest (R-Mississippi), introduced the resolution and set the stage for a significant vote after the Thanksgiving break. If successful, this would make Santos only the sixth representative to be expelled in the history of the chamber.
In a statement that accompanied his five-page resolution, Guest emphasized that the evidence uncovered in the Ethics Committee’s investigative subcommittee inquiry provided more than enough grounds for punishment.
Santos has faced previous attempts at expulsion after reports exposed his fabricated life story. Federal prosecutors charged him with 23 felonies.
Many of the lawmakers in both parties indicated that the ethics report – which showed the tens...

The House Ethics Committee did not formally recommend the House of Representatives move to kick George Santos out of Congress despite finding “substantial evidence” that the New York congressman is guilty of federal crimes. The committee’s chairman, Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.), took matters into his own hands on Friday, filing a new resolution to expel Santos.
Santos survived an expulsion vote earlier this month, with most Republicans and 30 Democrats voting against the resolution — which was introduced by New York Republicans. The Ethics Committee’s report could certainly move the needle,...

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) faces the renewed prospect of being expelled from Congress, after a report from the House Ethics Committee concluded that he deceived donors, stole from his campaign and “sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit.”
The committee also unanimously recommended referral of the “substantial evidence” of potential criminal violations to the Justice Department.

Santos blasted the bipartisan report, writing on X/Twitter, that it was “a disgusting politicized smear that shows the depths of how low our federal government has sunk. Everyone who participated in this grave miscarriage of Justice should all be ashamed of themselves.” He said that he would not seek reelection to his seat next year “as my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time.

1830, just outside the town of Raven’s Hollow, five West Point cadets, Edgar Allan Poe, yes the writer, Lawrence Bishop (Kyle Rowe; The Brothers Grimsby), Will Taylor, Thomas Cricke (Michael Guest; Balance) and Lutz Becker come across a man disemboweled and hung up like a scarecrow.
In true cinematic fashion, he has just enough life left in him to utter a single word, “Raven”, before dying. Poe convinces the others it’s their duty to bring his body to town for proper burial. What they find is a town that is almost deserted, its inhabitants in the middle of a funeral for a girl we saw die a most unnatural death in the film’s prologue. It quickly...

A national manhunt is underway for a Mississippi man accused of strangling his girlfriend to death and shooting a jogger last week — and he is reportedly being investigated in connection with the slaying of a 69-year-old woman found dead in a church.
Alex Deaton, 28, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Heather Robinson, 30, and aggravated assault for allegedly shooting the jogger from inside what police suspect could be Robinson’s stolen vehicle, Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey said during a news conference.
“Something inside of him appears to have snapped,” Bailey said.
