I’ll request a recorded vote on this motion. If their motion passes, Republican Leadership has succeeded in sweeping credible allegations of sexual misconduct under the rug. If the motion fails, we’ll move into debate on the resolution. I’ll share an update then. /fin

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govDec 5(source)

Don’t let them fool you. A resolution moved to be “brought up later” or “sent to committee for further work” won’t actually be brought back up by Republican Leadership. This is purely a procedural tool to try and bury the issue. 5/

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govDec 5(source)

Once I raise my resolution, Republican Leadership is expected to take some sort of procedural action – likely either a motion to table or a motion to refer – which is a tool used to essentially kill the resolution. 4/

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govDec 5(source)

If they do not, I’ll raise my resolution to force the release of the Gaetz Report on the House Floor during the 4:45 PM ET vote series. 3/

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govDec 5(source)

First and foremost, the House Ethics Committee is expected to meet shortly and could release the report themselves. If they care about the integrity of the House of Representatives, this is what they will do. 2/

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govDec 5(source)

House procedure can be wonky, so let’s discuss what might happen TODAY on my resolution to release the Gaetz Report. A short thread 🧵 1/

Resigning from Congress should not allow Members to avoid accountability for allegations as serious as those faced by Matt Gaetz. The Ethics Committee has often released reports on former Members. That's why I'm forcing a vote on the release of the Gaetz Report. casten.house.gov/media/press-...

Everyone deserves the right to safely access health care. That’s why I introduced the FACES Act – to ensure patients, providers, and health care staff are able to seek and provide reproductive health care. casten.house.gov/media/press-...

More and more consumers are interested in the environmental impact of the food they purchase at the grocery store. That’s why I introduced the Voluntary Food Climate Labeling Act with my colleague, Congresswoman Julia Brownley. casten.house.gov/media/press-...

Casten Introduces Legislation to Require the Consideration of Climate Impacts for New LNG Export Terminals | U.S. Congressman Sean Casten

The Official U.S. Congressional website of Congressman Sean Casten

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govNov 25(source)

Last week, I introduced the LNG Public Interest Determination Act of 2024. This legislation would require the Department of Energy to examine impacts on climate stability, consumer energy costs, and environmental justice when considering permits for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals.

November is National Diabetes Month. I was proud to support the Inflation Reduction Act, which helps Medicare beneficiaries in our district save an average of $490 each year on their insulin.

As I said on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social, it remains important to the integrity of the House of Representatives that we not let the Gaetz report be swept under the rug. I'm pushing forward with my resolution to force a House vote on releasing the Gaetz report.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govNov 24(source)

We have to remind the American people that, in the House of Representatives, we care about ethics. That's why I'm pushing for the House to release the Gaetz report.

This morning, I joined community leaders at the groundbreaking for the new 294 interchange in Justice. This project is a great example of state and federal funding working to attract new businesses, create job opportunities, and reduce frustrating traffic bottlenecks in southwestern Cook County.
