The House of Representatives voted to establish an independent, bipartisan commission on Wednesday, but the bill still has a cliffhanger path ahead as supporters seek votes of 10 Republican senators needed to usher it into law. It remains an open, if perplexing, question if Republican senators will stand in the way of an investigation into an armed attack that sent them fleeing for safety.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - U.S. House of Representatives Republicans on Tuesday voted to remove Wyoming’s Liz Cheney from her post as chair of the House Republican Conference for repeatedly criticizing former President Donald Trump over his false claims of fraud during the 2020 presidential election and his role in encouraging a January attack on the U.S. Capitol as Congress certified the presidential electoral votes.

Facebook s independent oversight board has upheld a ban on former US president Donald Trump while ordering further review of the case, in a decision with a potentially far-reaching impact on the regulation of online speech.
Mr Trump, whose political influence has arguably been severely curtailed by the loss of his social media presence, responded with a statement slamming bans by the leading social network and other online giants as a total disgrace.
The oversight board, whose decisions are binding on Facebook, said Mr Trump had created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible with his comments regarding the 6 January rampage by his supporters at the US Capitol.
