Prominent anti-LGBTQ+ attorney and former Harris County GOP chair Jared Woodfill is running for the Texas House and to replace House Speaker Dade Phelan.
Ladapo earns a $250,000 salary as surgeon general and a $262,000 salary from UF, according to state and university records. But some of Ladapo’s UF College of Medicine colleagues were concerned he bypassed crucial vetting during his whirlwind hiring process, regardless of whether it was legal.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went on a QAnon show to promote her new book, claim without evidence that the federal government may have been behind the January 6 insurrection, and call for investigating the House January 6 committee for “abus[ing] their power.”
