Inbox: Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina will have her appeal of a $5,000 fine for allegedly evading House metal detectors upheld, the House Ethics Committee announces.
Foxx was heading to a vote & according to an incident report by U.S. Capitol Police in May, she evaded a magnometer, brushed off a request for her to stop and then allegedly told reporter Olivia Beavers "Why don't you deal with things that are important?"
forbes.com/sites/andrewso…
The comment to Beavers, as first reported, was prompted because Beavers saw Foxx skip past the magnometer and said, "I don’t want to get you guys in trouble, but I’m going to be reporting on that."

Starting today in Virginia: Adults 21 and older can legally possess weed in the commonwealth. You can't have more than 1 oz of cannabis though + no intent to distribute. The commonwealth legalized it back in April. Ppl with over 1lb of weed? You face up to 10 years in prison.
cc: @CourthouseNews
Though legal possession of small amounts of marijuana is effective today in Virginia, you still cannot legally consume it public. And you can only own up to 4 plants at home for personal use.

Now on the House floor, 1HR of debate for the Inspector General Independence and Empowerment Act ahead of a vote on passage.
Its aim is to prevent political retaliation and would not allow an IG to be removed for anything other than a documented cause & for non partisan reasons.
You may remember why this is important if you remember last spring when Trump fired and sidelined IGs like it was going out of style.
Glenn Fine was removed as acting DoD IG by Trump, blocking him from serving on pandemic response accountability committee, overseeing trillions.
Trump also removed Mike Atkinson, the intel community's IG. And Trump removed Mitch Behm as acting transportation IG. And Steve Linnick who was investing former SoS Pompeo's abuse of resources,. Trump removed IG Christi Grimm at HHS too.
