Congressman Jeff Jackson’s latest TikTok video starts simply: “I apologize.” Last week, the House of Representatives passed a bill that could ultimately ban TikTok from the US. For many, it turned Jackson into enemy number one. The North Carolina Democrat spent the last year amassing 2.3 million followers on TikTok, leveraging the app to turn himself from a no-name first-term congressman to a downright internet celebrity. But Jackson joined 352 other House members in support of the so-called TikTok “ban,” sparking…

Earlier this month, comedian Ziwe reached out to George Santos on X (formerly known as Twitter) to ask the disgraced ex-congressman if he would be interested in a pay-per-view interview? “You’d be an iconic guest,” she said in a Dec. 2 post. Santos seemed into the idea, responding a day later with what seemed like an official confirmation, “Let’s do it Ziwe.” Consider it done. Ziwe took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo of her on a set with Santos while he holds a tan Hermes Birkin bag…

A US Congressman, Tim Burchett, believes in a whistleblower's claims that the government is covering up evidence of alien spacecraft (UFO). The whistleblower, David Charles Grusch, a former analyst at the Department of Defense, stated in an interview that the government possesses physical evidence of intact and partially intact alien vehicles but is withholding it from Congress, the Metro reports. Representative Burchett supports the whistleblower's claims and suggests that the government has been hiding such evidence…

With hundreds of members of Congress all jockeying for media attention (whether they admit that or not) it is increasingly challenging for individuals to break through and establish a national profile. Yet Adam Schiff has managed to do just that. His role as lead prosecutor in President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial turned Schiff into a hero among Trump critics and an archenemy of Trump loyalists and Trump himself. The former president began attacking Schiff by name at rallies, the ultimate…

Robert Garcia, a Democratic congressman for Long Beach, California, has let Gunn know the pressure is absolutely on to deliver this new vision for DC. Garcia has given the Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad writer-director just two days to make good on his plan…

Massachusetts representative Jake Auchincloss became the first congressman on Wednesday to address the House floor with a speech written by ChatGPT artificial intelligence. While highlighting the increasing prevalence and common use of the software – for better or for worse – the speech was less a political and more an opportunity, Auchincloss said, to prove that it “is a tool, not a master.” CNN broadcast a short clip from Rep. Auchincloss’ speech, during which he mentioned “a bipartisan piece of legislation…

| Robert Garcia, the mayor of Long Beach, California and proud Snyderbrony and fan of all things DC Comics, is moving up in the world. Garcia won his election to California's newly redrawn 42nd District. If Democrats manage to upset expectations and retain control of the House, an unlikely but possible scenario, they will partially have Robert Garcia to thank. That's a lot of power for one DC Comics fan who once got in a Twitter spat with Walking Dead mogul Robert Kirkman, back before it was all the rage for politicians…

A UFO-obsessed Republican Congressman has introduced an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act to offer new protection for UFO whistleblowers. Rep. Mike Gallagher has pushed for a new rule to establish a process for receiving reports concerning Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). It’s hoped that, with these in place, soldiers and contractors will feel more comfortable sharing details of unexplained phenomena they see on the battlefield. The Drive suggests that this could be a way of resolving the ever-present rumors…
