I saw a link in the lead ([1]https://www.mediaite.com/politics/congressional-staffer-reportedly-filmed-porn-in-senate-hearing-room-appears-to-be-unprotected-sex/) which had come and gone several times. I am aware of the story, and am also aware that the staffer is not a staffer anymore. Furthermore, if you do choose to add it to the article, I think it should be done in an objective manner, as in taking both sides into consideration.

Well you're pretty quick to rule that out.

It has nothing to do with Cardin directly. It could become a line on a List of United States Congress scandals page if one exists, but I fail to see how this situation relates to Cardin's BLP given that he wasn't one of the participants. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:15, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231217001500","author":"Muboshgu","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Muboshgu-20231217001500-Unknown0124-20231216224100","replies":["c-Unknown0124-20231217003700-Muboshgu-20231217001500"]}}-->
I see. There is no List of United States Congress scandals page yet (though I see what you were getting at), but I can see it more as a line in the List of federal political scandals in the United States page.

I would like to reenter the previous entry about Senator Cardin's blockage of the bill with new resources Muboshgu Are there any objections?

I don't know those outlets. "BNN Breaking" looks suspect to me and some hits on Google suggest they are fake news. The Jewish Insider piece looks to be neutrally written. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240116220100","author":"Muboshgu","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Muboshgu-20240116220100-IranianDiaspora-20240116192100","replies":["c-IranianDiaspora-20240117003300-Muboshgu-20240116220100"]}}-->
I am not familiar with BNN Breaking myself either. I will just cite the Jewish Insider.
