BREAKING MS NOW: The Trump White House hosted about two dozen election denial activists this week ahead of Trump's address where he's expected to spread election lies. The session was convened by conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell — who advised Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 result.

Expulsion takes 2/3 vote of the House to make it happen. With the House so closely divided, it'll be interesting if enough votes can be garnered to expel either one of them. My guess is, enough Democrats will vote to expel Swalwell, but not enough republicans to expel Gonzales.
