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 officials’discussing 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.

Is this how we never have to vote again?
There will still be lines to stand in, just not voting lines.
More bread sir

Can you explain this image to an ignorant person? Is this when Italy enacted fascism? Why is the yes adorned with the Italian flag?
These cards were used in Italian national elections in 1929 and 1934 when Mussolini's party was the only legally permitted party. Voters (at the time, only males who were trade union members, clergy, or soldiers) could only vote to approve or disapprove the list of deputies the Grand Council of Fascism had appointed. The officials would check that the card the voter chose was properly sealed, so the colors would probably immediately let them know which vote is being cast. And/or it was propaganda: voting for yes is patriotic, and no is... less patriotic.
That's depressing. Thank you for the information!
The Acerbo Law gave 2/3 of the seats to the party that got at least 25% of the votes. After that every election was a plebiscite in which you could only approve a list of candidates from the fascist party
