Capitol Fire, Censures & Crazy: Congress’s 7-Week Wild Ride

KEY POINTS

•Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned Friday after publicly breaking with former President Trump.
•Chi Ossé filed to run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday, starting a volatile week.
•The House overwhelmingly voted 427-1 to release Jeffrey Epstein files, triggering allegations and censure attempts.
•A Capitol subway car caught fire Thursday, leading to police hospitalizations amid escalating congressional chaos.

After a seven-week nap, the House of Representatives hustled back into absolute mayhem from Nov 17-22, 2025. Highlights included Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene quitting after publicly dumping Trump (talk about dramatic exits). NYC’s Chi Ossé challenged Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in primary paperwork battles. The House forced a 427-1 vote to release Jeffrey Epstein files, exposing Del. Stacey Plaskett’s nefarious texting with Epstein himself. Rep. Cory Mills dodged committee removals despite vulgar floor outbursts from Rep. Nancy Mace. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick got indicted for allegedly pocketing $5 million FEMA overpayments like it was campaign cash. Trump lurked around threatening military mutiny punishable by death, sparking outrage and police probes. And yes, a subway car caught literal fire outside Congress, sending cops to the hospital. Meanwhile, a silly resolution denounced socialism, just ahead of socialist Zohran Mamdani meeting Trump. All told, it's been a decade’s worth of chaos crammed into one week.
