Washington Post: “Swalwell’s career took off like a meteor at the same time women allege he was harassing them. His political trajectory — described here with the help of interviews with more than a dozen former staffers and political operatives, some of whom who spoke on the condition of anonymity to recount private discussions — suggests a Democratic Party enamored with a young congressman’s talent for sound bites and landing blows against President Donald Trump.”

“Rumors that Swalwell, 45, had affairs in Washington followed him, but there is no evidence that the more serious allegations of sexual assault were circulating among Democrats while his career took off.”

NPR: Eric Swalwell faces new sexual assault allegations.

Politico: “The pressure on Reps. Tony Gonzales and Eric Swalwell to resign Tuesday amid serious sexual assault accusations from former staffers have shown there are limits to what lawmakers will tolerate from their colleagues. And Mills, a Florida Republican, has for months been under scrutiny for allegedly breaking campaign finance rules and threatening to release nude videos of an ex.”

“But key leaders and several rank-and-file members from both parties signaled this week they will wait for the conclusion of an active House Ethics Committee investigation into Mills before moving to punish him. That will include House Republicans protecting Mills from being expelled — a lawmaker could force an expulsion vote as soon as next week — until the panel releases a final report into its findings — which could come at any time.”

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told reporters he asked that President Trump take down an AI-generated image he’d posted on social media depicting himself as Jesus, Politico reports.

Said Johnson: “I did ask him to delete it.”
