After Bowman activated the fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building on Saturday — presumably in an effort to delay a vote on a spending package to avert a government shutdown — Bowman's office circulated talking points to other House Democrats.

OCTOBER 02, 2023
A Georgia prison guard was killed when an inmate — already in jail for murder — pulled a “homemade weapon” and attacked the correctional officer from behind as he escorted him from a jail dining hall, officials said.
Robert Clark was killed and another inmate who tried to intervene was wounded Sunday after prisoner Layton Lester allegedly launched at the 42-year-old victim inside Smith State Prison on Sunday, the Georgia Department of Corrections said in a press release.
Clark was assaulted using a “homemade weapon” while taking the two inmates from the dining area, officials said. The other inmate, Marko Willingham, was injured when he tried to help Clark.
Clark, who only started working at the prison in April, was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Willingham remains in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the corrections department.
“The entire [Georgia Department of Corrections] team is mourning the loss of one of our own and we collectively express our deepest condolences to Officer Clark’s family and friends,” GDC Commissioner Tyrone Oliver said in a statement. “We will support them as they navigate this tragedy over the coming days, weeks and months.”
Lester is expected to be charged with the assault and resulting death of Clark, as well as the assault on Willingham.
He was already behind bars for numerous crimes, including a 2007 murder, according to state jail records.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp expressed his condolences over the killing.
“Today we join the public safety community in mourning the loss of Corrections Officer Robert Clark,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“Please join us in praying for his family, loved ones, and the Georgia Department of Corrections at this time.”
Few more details were revealed about the deadly attack.

A plus-size influencer who previously demanded airlines comp larger passengers for extra seats is now asking hotels around the world to make a number of changes to better accommodate overweight guests — including by making the hallways wider.
In a video posted to her TikTok last month, Jaelynn Chaney listed several ways hotels can create “size-inclusive” amenities.
She said she is “on a mission to revolutionize the travel industry, and make it a more accessible, accepting, accommodating place for all,” adding: “The needs of plus-sized travelers matter just as much as anybody else.”
“We deserve an environment that respects our needs and body diversity,” Chaney claimed.
Among her many demands were to “make elevators and hallways [more] spacious, to allow for easy movement of larger individuals, and those utilizing mobility devices.”
Chaney also suggested hotels raise their toilet seats and retrofit each room with handheld shower heads so bigger-bodied people can more easily wash themselves.
“Hotels should provide size-inclusive bathrooms,” she said in the video. “These should go up to size 6X and beyond.”
Additionally, Chaney said hotels should put up handrails in pools and invest in sturdier and wider chairs for the lounges and pool-side so that larger-bodied people can relax in peace.
And, she said, hotels need to “train staff to be respectful, understanding and accommodating to travelers of all sizes.”
In the caption, Chaney wrote: “Creating a space where every guest feels valued and comfortable is essential.
“Size-inclusive hotel amenities are more than just accommodations — they’re a statement of respect for diverse needs and body types,” she continued.
“From spacious chairs to thoughtful bathroom facilities, every detail matters,” she wrote. “Let’s make travel truly accessible and welcoming for travelers of all sizes and abilities.”
But Chaney’s demands were met with mixed reviews online.
“I agree this is ideal, but some of these are out of the hotel’s control — lift size for example,” one person wrote, using the British term for an elevator.
Another TikTok user, though, commented: “I’m backing you 100%.”
Others were harsher in their views of Chaney’s demands, with one woman asking: “How are you gonna ask for things to change, but refuse to change yourself?”
Another suggested, “It [would] be cheaper to diet.
“I am fat and I will let no airline or hotel pay for my eating habits,” she wrote, while a male user said Chaney was “entitled” for making these demands.
“Imagine feeling so entitled to demand that an entire industry accommodate your inability to put down the fork,” he wrote, calling it “wild.”
Chaney labels herself as a “Plus Size Travel, Fashion & Lifestyle” creator and has more than 134,000 followers on TikTok.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
