Some New York Republicans say they’re going to push ahead with a formal resolution to expel embattled Rep. George Santos, Republican of New York, now that the House is open after its three-week speaker stalemate.

I walked into their office and noticed two people sitting in the waiting area. One was telling the other he wants that person to be cast in an upcoming Kevin Smith movie.
Weird topic for DC, so I looked to see who was speaking…..

And apparently he moonlights as Kevin Smith’s casting agent, I guess?

He was still there when I left, just milling about and chatting with the tellers. You’d think he’d be meeting with his lawyers, but that’s where he was at 2:00 on a Monday afternoon pic.twitter.com/nAdHKyNCHB
