"The introduction of censure resolutions, along with impeachment, expulsion and contempt measures, has spiked in recent years. Members of both parties have also been pushing back against the trivialization of censure by voting to defeat censure measures against members of the opposing party. Driving the news: Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) took to the House floor Tuesday to force a vote on her resolution censuring Omar for her critical comments and posts about Charlie Kirk following his assassination last week."
"Mace's resolution would kick Omar off the House Budget and Education & Welfare Committees. In response, Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced a measure that would censure Mills but not kick him off committees. Zoom in: The Mills resolution centers on reports and allegations of domestic violence and sexual misconduct, stolen valor, making false financial disclosures and committing campaign finance violations. IMills has disputed all of those allegations. A spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

Members of both parties have pushed back against trivializing censure by voting to defeat measures targeting opposing-party members. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) forced a House vote to censure Omar for critical comments and posts about Charlie Kirk following his assassination. Mace's resolution would remove Omar from the House Budget and Education & Welfare Committees. Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced a measure to censure Mills that would not remove committee assignments. The Mills resolution centers on reports alleging domestic violence, sexual misconduct, stolen valor, false financial disclosures and campaign finance violations; Mills disputes those allegations and a spokesperson did not respond.
