💨 Abstract

A Virginia special election for the Democratic and Republican nominees to replace the late Rep. Gerry Connolly is underway. Meanwhile, DC issued a Heat Alert due to high temperatures. In Washington, Rep. LaMonica McIver faces federal charges for interfering with law enforcement during a visit to an ICE facility, an incident significant to the dynamics between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration trying to deport immigrants. Her colleagues argue these charges impact congressional power, while Republicans see Democrats' actions as inflammatory.
