The House of Representatives have censured Democrat Adam Schiff, making him only the third member in the 21st century to get reprimanded in such a way by his colleagues.
The resolution hit a roadblock last week when Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna included a $16 million fine. The fine was removed for today’s vote.
“As chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff launched an all out political campaign built on baseless distortions against a sitting U.S. president at the expense of every single citizen in this country and the honor of the House of Representatives,” Luna said.
The vote went along party lines, but six Republicans voted “present,” essentially siding with Democrats. They were:
- Michael Guest (MS)
- David Joyce (OH)
- Andrew Garbarino (NY)
- John Rutherford (FL)
- Michelle Fischbach (MN)
- Ken Buck (R-CO)
While rare, a censure is essentially a reprimand that goes on the record. It has no real teeth other than sending Schiff to be investigated by the House Ethics Committee. Five of its Republican members, including Chairman Guest, voted “present” today. It’s unclear whether this was some sort of ethics maneuver or if the committee is simply loaded with RINOs.
Disgustingly, Democrats chanted “Shame” and “Schiff” while the vote was happening. For his part, Schiff was unrepentant and will use this event to fundraise for his campaign to move to the U.S. Senate.
As Rogan O’Handley noted, this is a huge victory for Rep. Luna:

Uniparty weaklings tried to stop her, but these new Republican leaders aren’t in DC to play nice

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
