"House Censures Rep. Jamaal Bowman for False Fire Alarm Incident"
The House of Representatives has voted to censure Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling a fire alarm earlier this year, despite no immediate threat of a fire. The vote largely followed party lines, with three Democrats joining Republicans in censuring Bowman. The incident occurred during a dramatic floor vote, causing chaos and the evacuation of a congressional office building. Bowman denied doing it on purpose and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge, agreeing to pay a $1,000 fine. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused Republicans of wasting time on the issue.
