In the first, ar orie aylor reene filed a report against Democratic ep. ake uchincloss s top aide because he had placed stickers over a transphobic sign that the far-right eorgia congresswoman had displayed outside her office.

he second complaint came from an official with the Biden- arris administration over an especially combative and anti-trans email that was sent by the highest-ranking deputy in a West irginia epublican s congressional office.

he two cases are not otherwise analogous. s the emissaries of lawmakers who are responsible to their constituents, staff should be held accountable for out-of-bounds behavior like sending offensive emails to harass colleagues on Capitol ill or in the federal govern5&7$2#

By contrast, decorating a poster in the ongworth ouse ffice Building without permission is hardly a crime that should be escalated to the Ethics Committee, particularly not when the poster is offensive to members of a marginali ed community and was hung in the first 1()4&#$.#10.>.6&#)#4.((&)</&#)40.""#$%&#%)((#9%.#%)"#)#$0)7"#*)/<%$&02

If a months-long probe e ploring whether a career ill staffer had brought discredit upon the ouse of epresentatives with his stickers was not absurd enough, it was kicked off by none other than ar orie aylor reene, who has been guilty of that charge virtually every day since she was first elected. ecall, for instance, that she has called for violence against her political opponents, including by publishing a video on social media in which she said then- ouse Speaker ancy elosi deserves the death penalty.

member of Congress wields a tremendous amount of power relative to even the senior most Capitol ill staff, a fact that was brought into sharp relief for uchincloss s chief of staff as he sought to defend himself against not ust the committee s investigation but also an affidavit by the Capitol olice in support of an arrest warrant along with threats and harassment so severe that his home was monitored by law enforcement.

he ouse Ethics Committee declined to comment when I reached out last week to confirm receipt of the complaint filed against the staffer, ust as they had refused to provide information about the status of the case initiated by reene s report.

he committee s Senate counterpart is even more of a black bo .

n illustrative e ample was outlined in an article by the Campaign egal Center, a nonpartisan government accountability group, which noted that in the recent indictment of ew ersey Democratic Sen. Bob enende , the shocking details revealed by the allegations seemingly had no end.

he evidence against him was sufficiently agrant and longstanding, the article argues, to beg the uestion Is the Senate incapable of finding and rooting out potential corruption before it becomes a crime

art of the problem, according to C C, is that the pper Chamber s ethics committee provides no means by which a complaint can be seen through to its investigation and resolution. he public knows very little about what the committee does, and perhaps because the committee does very little study in found that none of the , reports that were filed over a period of years resulted in any formal disciplinary sanctions.

bviously, full transparency is impossible when sensitive information must be kept confidential to protect the integrity of an investigation. owever, if we are going to continue seeing cases involving complaints against congressional staff rather than the lawmakers they serve, $%&#$!5&#$.#4.7"!*&0#0&=.05"#!"#7.92

easures could include safeguards to mitigate the risk of unfair outcomes when investigations are brought by members of Congress and target those who have far less power, or a mechanism by which the committees would be re uired to share more information about cases under their review to the e tent possible .

Even when the alleged conduct by a staffer fully warrants an ethics committee probe, time and resources might be better spent rooting out misconduct by members of Congress, which is almost always far more conse uential.

emorial Day weekend, a time to honor the sacrifices of the men and women of the .S. rmed orces, also marks the unofficial start of summer. Beyond its significance as a day of remembrance, it has become a prime period for the real estate market. he long weekend provides a uni ue opportunity for home buyers and sellers, making it one of the busiest and most strategic times in the housing market.

emorial Day weekend is often a time when people head to the beach, the country, or the mountains for rela ation and to oin in the local festivities. his long weekend offers a break from routine, a chance to honor those who have served, and an opportunity to en oy the beginning of warmer weather.

or real estate agents, however, emorial Day weekend can be a blend of work and leisure, especially in resort communities where the real estate market is particularly active during this time.

summer months, when the weather is inviting and the potential for rental income is high. eal estate agents who serve beach towns such as cean City, d., irginia Beach, a., or ehoboth, Beach, Del., often mi business with pleasure as they seek out new clients. lternatively, if the rela ed life in the country is more to your liking, places such as he mish area of ancaster County, a. may be for you. Charles own, W. a., and shland, a. have a robust military history and may be what you re looking to en oy. If mountains and lakes are more your style, the Blue idge mountains of irginia, the ppalachians of West irginia, or Deep Creek ake, d., may fit the bill, so let s look at a few properties "$*%+(*',-.(%*%"!,/)

In cean City, you can find an oceanfront, one-bedroom condominium with beach and sunset views in a short-term rental building for , . s you can imagine, it already has four weeks booked for the summer. he historic district of Charles own, W. a., offers a , -s uare-foot ictorian home built in .

While many people ock to nearby vacation spots purely for rela ation, real estate agents often find themselves working diligently to learn about different areas and capitali e on the increased interest in local properties. By doing so, they can help clients find their dream homes, whether for retirement, short getaways, or investment potential.
