House Republicans authorized a new rule to prevent Democrats from probing the Trump administration’s scandals until October.

Amid mounting scandals out of the Trump administration, House Republicans voted Tuesday in favor of a rule that creates hurdles for Democrats looking to investigate it.

Departments across Trump’s government have been rocked by scandals over a variety of issues: Elon Musk’s glaring conflicts of interest while gutting the federal government, Cabinet officialsdiscussing sensitive military plans with civilians via a third-party messaging platform or members of Congress benefiting as the White House turned tariffs on and off.

Democrats have tried to shine light on these and other scandals using what are called “resolutions of inquiry,” which can tee up what are essentially special votes over whether to provide information from the president or executive officials.

I think we slightly misunderstood each other. I also enjoy multiculturalism and think that it can be very beautiful. I love walking through the city and seeing the buddhist statues in some storewindows.

It's hard to draw a line where assimilation and multiculturalism should interchange (imo), but what I meant was brutal individualism of the US or their tendency to think in teams (like the election where a large part elected a fascist not because they wanted fascism but because they were team red / wanted to be on the winning team) that has to be lost when coming here (here in loose terms, I am your southern neighbour 🇨🇭🤝🏻🇪🇺).

I think my friend would be a good example. He's from Sri Lanka and is a buddhist whose hobby is traditional indian dances. But he speaks perfect swiss-german, is involved and up-to-date on swiss politics and talks from a swiss point of view in national and international politics (putting switzerland over sri lanka in international interests). He is proud to be sri lankan while still being proud to be swiss, if that makes sense? He's not trying to be un-swiss and be overly sri-lankan. He's not a sri-lankan in switzerland but a swiss with sri-lankan roots. I hope I am able to explain it? It's kind of difficult with such delicate topics where you can't draw a clear line, but I hope you get my point :))
