Despite opposition from Republican leaders, the House of Representatives on Wednesday passed legislation â the product of a bipartisan agreement between House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson and Ranking Member John Katko â to establish a commission that would investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.Â
Thirty-five Republicans, including Katko, joined with 217 Democrats to support the bill, which passed by a 252-175 vote. It faces an uncertain fate in the Senate. The top Republican in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, announced his opposition to the commission legislation. Other GOP senators either oppose the bill or believe it should be amended.Â

The bill would establish a 10-member commission, with each party appointing five members. The Democratic proposal called for 11 members, with the majority party naming seven of the commissioner

Vax-a-Million is not the first time the governor has treated public health like a lottery ticket

Last week, Gov. Mike DeWine announced that Ohioans will be eligible to enter the Vax-a-Million lottery that will pay out $1 million each to five vaccinated adults. Vaccinated teenagers will get in on the fun, too, with five of them receiving full-ride scholarships to one of Ohio s public universities upon proof of jabbing. The drawings will take place over five successive weeks, with the first occurring on Wednesday, May 26, and registration for the lottery opened today (Tuesday, May 18).
The announcement was certainly attention-grabbing and, as a result, Ohio has been national news since the announcement of this scheme. But I think it s worth noting that this is not the first time Governor DeWine has asked us to treat matters of public health like a lottery ticket.
A bill introduced by 38 members of Congress, including U.S. Rep. John Katko, would provide immediate access to Medicare and Social Security disability benefits for people with metastatic breast cancer.
