Old (internet) habits die hard.

When The Daily Beast revealed in January that Rep. Jamaal Bowman had promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories on his blog while working as a public school principal, the New York Democrat maintained it was just a bygone phase, and that his days of marinating in the nether-swamps of online paranoia were long over. But his personal YouTube account, where he continued to follow new channels and create playlists as recently as last month, indicates his taste for fringe content has endured into his tenure on Capitol Hill.

House members voted again Thursday to punish one of their own, targeting Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman for triggering a fire alarm in a U.S. Capitol office building when the chamber was in session.

The Republican censure resolution passed with a few Democratic votes, but most of the party stood by Bowman in opposition of an effort they said lacked credibility and integrity. The prominent progressive now becomes the third Democratic House member to be admonished this year through the censure process, which is a punishment one step below expulsion from the House.

House Republicans censured Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) on Thursday after he falsely pulled a fire alarm in a House office building in September, hitting the New York Democrat with a congressional reprimand that liberals derided as “extreme” and “profoundly stupid.”

The chamber voted 214-191-5, mostly along party lines, on the resolution to censure Bowman. Three Democrats — Reps. Chris Pappas (N.H.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.) and Jahana Hayes (Conn.) â€” voted with all Republicans in favor of the censure. Four Democrats and one Republican voted “present.”

The House of Representatives is formally reprimanding Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., on Thursday morning over his pulling of a fire alarm earlier this year.

The House voted largely along party lines, 214 to 191, to censure Bowman, who pulled the alarm despite no immediate threat of a fire in the middle of a dramatic floor vote. Three Democrats voted with Republicans to censure him — Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash.; Chris Pappas, D-N.H.; and Jahana Hayes, D-Conn.

Five members of the House Ethics Committee voted "present."

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is the latest House member to face a censure vote over accusations the New York Democrat intentionally disrupted congressional proceedings by pulling a fire alarm in a congressional office building earlier this year.

Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) filed a privileged censure resolution on the floor on Tuesday, forcing a vote on the measure within the next two legislative days. The move builds on previous efforts by McClain to punish Bowman for the misconduct, which has so far failed to make it to the House floor for a full vote.

Representative Jamaal Bowman was already facing blowback from Jewish leaders in his district and a growing primary threat for bucking his party’s stance on Israel.

But on Friday, he did not show any hesitation as he grabbed the megaphone at a cease-fire rally back home in the New York City suburbs to demand what only a dozen other members of Congress have: that both Israel and Hamas lay down their arms.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) can be seen on video removing warning signs from an emergency exit before pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building last month.

The footage of the incident from Sept. 30 shows Bowman pulling the signs off the door, pulling the fire alarm, and walking away. The New York Democrat was charged with a misdemeanor for the incident that prompted an evacuation of the building ahead of a pivotal vote on a stopgap measure to avert a government shutdown.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York Democrat, pleaded guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor charge for falsely triggering a fire alarm in a House office building.

Bowman struck a deal with the Washington, DC, Attorney General’s office, in which he pleaded guilty to the single misdemeanor offense.

According to the terms of the deal read aloud in court, Bowman’s sentencing will be deferred for three months. During that time, Bowman will be on probation, will pay a $1,000 fine and will write an apology letter to the US Capitol Police.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) pleaded guilty Thursday to one misdemeanor for falsely pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building last month ahead of a key House vote.

A stone-faced Bowman appeared in D.C. Superior Court on Thursday for his arraignment, one day after he was charged. Under an agreement with prosecutors, he will pay a $1,000 fine and write an apology to the Capitol Police.

Under the agreement, the charge will be withdrawn in three months at a court hearing set for Jan. 29, 2024.

Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Thursday pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge relating to pulling a false fire alarm in a Capitol building, The Hill reports.

District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb charged Bowman with a violation of the D.C. code for pulling a fire alarm inside the Cannon House Office Building during a Sept. 30 House vote on a GOP funding package. The House scrambled to vote on a funding package to keep the government open as the 2023 fiscal year came to an end.
