TL;DR Summary

Representative Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat from New York, pulled a fire alarm in the House Cannon office building during a rushed vote on a stopgap spending bill, leading to an evacuation and investigations by the Capitol Police and the House Administration Committee. The alarm coincided with House Democrats stalling the vote on the spending measure, which later passed with more Democrats voting for it than Republicans. Bowman's chief of staff confirmed the incident but did not provide a reason or clarify if it was intentional. Republicans criticized Bowman, with one representative drafting a motion to expel him from the House.
