#StewartRhodes was serving his time in prison when his sentence was commuted by #Trump in Jan 2025. It was one of the first actions taken by Trump when he resumed office.

Federal District Judge Amit Mehta ruled in Jan 2025 that Rhodes & other members of the #OathKeepers needed to seek #court permission to travel to #DC or be on Capitol Grounds.

According to the ADL, the Oath Keepers is an anti-government #extremist org within the #militia movement.

#House votes to charge #DC 14-year-olds as adults
#Republicans in #Congress are pursuing a wave of new laws aimed at DC’s criminal justice system.

The #legislation is part of a package that #HouseRepublicans are pushing to impose more #federal control over the District in line with #Trump’s demands.

#HakeemJeffries talked about #Republicans rollback of #Biden-era #CleanEnergy#TaxCredits. Jeffries pointed to a letter from several #HouseRepublicans who had asked for those credits to be preserved.

Jeffries has at times singled out members of #Congress whose seats #Democrats hope to flip next year. He has been particularly critical of Reps #DavidValadao of #California & #JuanCiscomani of #Arizona, who both have objected to the bill’s provisions at various points but have voted to advance it.
