U.S. Capitol Police are investigating a series of unsolicited pizza deliveries to the homes of multiple lawmakers and law enforcement leaders.

Transgender lawmaker Zoe Zephyr was censured by the Montana House of Representatives after telling colleagues they would have "blood on their hands" for supporting a ban on gender-affirming care. The censure prevents Zephyr from participating in floor debates but allows for continued voting. Critics of the lawmaker argue the statement violated legislative decorum, while supporters view it as a necessary defense of the LGBTQ community.
