J6 PEOPLE ARE FACING LENGTHY JAIL TERMS FOR LESS: Should Rep. Jamaal Bowman be expelled from Congress? “Bowman got caught trying to obstruct Congressional business and now he’s making up a story. Here’s the thing – Bowman started a charter school in the Bronx. He is the founder and former principal of the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action.

Democrats wanted the shutdown in order to blame Republicans for it and complained they needed time to read the 70-page resolution.”
