Plaskett narrowly escapes censure over her Epstein texts




Plaskett narrowly escapes censure over her Epstein texts


The Democratic delegate will keep her House Intel post after the House voted down a formal reprimand.
11/18/2025, 9:11pm ET


The House voted 209-214 Tuesday night against formally reprimanding Del. Stacey Plaskett for communicating with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 Oversight Committee hearing.

Three House Republicans — Reps. Don Bacon of Nebraska, Lance Gooden of Texas and Dave Joyce of Ohio — voted with all Democrats against the measure. Three Republicans voted present: Reps. Andrew Garbarino of New York, Dan Meuser of Pennsylvania and Jay Obernolte of California.

Plaskett drew scrutiny after documents released from the Epstein estate revealed her texts with him. She’s denied wrongdoing, saying on the House floor Tuesday that Epstein was a constituent, that her contact was limited to information-gathering and that it was not public information at the time that Epstein had been under federal investigation.

“I know how to question individuals. I know how to seek information. I have sought information from confidential informants, from murderers, from other individuals because I want the truth,” she said on the House floor.

Republicans contend Plaskett’s contact with Epstein was more substantive and shaped her questioning during the hearing, which Plaskett denies.

“Standing against a convicted predator’s influence in our proceedings is not partisan. It’s basic decency,” said Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), who brought the measure to the House floor through a fast-track process bypassing committees and Hill leadership.

But the measure rejected Tuesday by the House would have also removed Plaskett from the House Intelligence Committee, a step too far for some lawmakers. She would have been the latest House Democrats to be removed from a committee position by Hill Republicans after Republicans voted last Congress to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for her past comments on Israel.

The failed vote to reprimand Plaskett comes on the same day the House voted almost unanimously to force the Department of Justice to release more files about its case against Epstein. The controversy has roiled Congress and split the MAGA base for months.

In retaliation for the move against Plaskett, Democrats introduced a measure to censure Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and to remove him from the House Armed Services Committee. He’s faced a spate of ethical issues including an since-withdrawn allegation of assault and an ongoing legal dispute over a previous relationship. But that measure is likely to be withdrawn now that the Plaskett effort has failed.

The failure of the Plaskett measure prompted an outcry from conservative Republicans who had pushed for it, with some accusing leaders of cutting deals to avoid a vote on the Mills resolution.

“They’re brokering back end deals to avoid bringing forward justice in both Democrat and Republican chambers,” said Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.). “So it’s literally covering up public corruption.”

God Complex: The Rise Of America's Censorship Machine

For generations, Americans have believed the First Amendment was untouchable — the cornerstone of our Republic. 

But today, that freedom is under attack. Behind closed doors, government agencies, Big Tech, universities, and NGOs built a powerful system to control what citizens can say, hear, and believe. 

This is not speculation. It is a documented reality — and it strikes at the heart of our liberty. 

God Complex: The Rise of America’s Censorship Machine is a Big Picture Originals documentary that reveals how this system came to be, how it operates, and why every American who values freedom must pay attention. 

Because when free speech is silenced, the truth disappears — and with it, every other right we hold dear. 

God Complex premieres on October 16.

Rashida Tlaib hit with House censure threat, accused of 'celebrating terrorism' in pro-Palestinian speech


Rep Buddy Carter's censure accuses Tlaib of 'vilifying her colleagues, endangering the lives of Jewish people, and celebrating terrorism'

'The Five' co-hosts discuss 'Squad' member Rashida Tlaib refusing to say whether she condemns 'children's heads being chopped off' by Hamas terrorists.

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is facing a GOP-led censure resolution on Wednesday after her fiery remarks at a pro-Palestinian conference.

Tlaib spoke at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit over the weekend, when she condemned both Democrats and Republicans for supporting Israel as its military campaign in Gaza continues.

Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., who introduced the measure, accused Tlaib of "vilifying her colleagues, endangering the lives of Jewish people, and celebrating terrorism."

"Her conduct is beneath that of a civilized person, let alone a member of Congress. I am calling on the House of Representatives to censure her remarks and put Democrats on notice for enabling and cheering on antisemitism in their own party," Carter told Fox News Digital.

Atlantic Union Seeks to Ban Conrad Vine, Oversteps Authority


July 4, 2025 Fulcrum7 Staff



Back in November, the Atlantic Union executive committee voted to ban Conrad Vine from every pulpit in their union.

The Northern New England Conference believes that the AU acted outside their authority as outlined in the Church Manual. This ban would give higher entities in our organization the authority to circumvent local church business meetings and to impact the standing of members even outside of their Union. They chose to not be a party to this decision, as it undermines the sound, Bible-based practices and procedures outlined in the Church Manual and erodes proper church order.

Europe is Watching The Village Church and Michigan Conference Saga






Europe is Watching The Village Church and Michigan Conference Saga

December 27, 2024 Fulcrum7 Staff

About the Author

My name is Vincent Dehelt. I am an elder of the SDA church of Anzegem, a village in Belgium, Europe.

I can assure you that the recent events in the Village Church, as well as the many points raised by Dr. Conrad Vine, are being followed closely here. I am referring primarily to our church here in Belgium, but also to many brothers and sisters throughout Europe. In contrast to this silent majority, there are also many brothers and sisters who understand the scope of what Dr. Vine has revealed, as well as the events in the Village Church.

At the moment I am serving as General VP of ASI France-Belgium. From 2017 to 2024 I was part of the excom of ASI Europe. First as VP Marketing & Membership Growth, then as VP Evangelism. So I know many brothers and sisters all over Europe and I can assure you that in every single country there are brothers and sisters who are following this whole situation closely and are outraged by the recent events. Here is my letter:

To Everyone Involved in Recent Events at SDA - Village Church

The events in the Village Church have also been closely followed in Europe. The Village Church in general and Brother Conrad Vine in particular have been fighting for religious freedom and freedom of conscience for years. Principles that we as SDAs should hold dear.
