  1. US Congressman #DougLaMalfa dies unexpectedly at 65

    Ana Faguy, January 6, 2026

    "Doug LaMalfa, a Republican Congressman from California, has died unexpectedly at age 65, colleagues announced on Tuesday.

    [...]

    "The congressman's cause of death was not immediately clear. LaMalfa was a former rice farmer elected to congress in 2013. He focused on water and agriculture issues during his tenure.
    His death shaved an already-thin Republican majority in the US House of Representatives to just a few seats, following the resignation on Monday of former Trump ally #MarjorieTaylorGreene.

    " 'He was a fantastic person,' Trump said. 'He voted with me 100% of the time.'
    Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer called his colleague a 'staunch advocate for his constituents and rural America'.
    LaMalfa earned a degree in agriculture business from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo.

    He served as a state lawmaker before being elected to congress, where he fought for help for fire victims in his northern California district and "worked to protect families from #overregulation [you know, like pesticides and working in the heat without water, shit like that], ensure American farmers and ranchers can continue to feed the world' [by sticking to #monocrops and pesticide use], according to his congressional website.

    "Greene's resignation and LaMalfa's death left Republicans with a 218-213 majority, meaning they have only a two-vote cushion - if three don't vote or side with Democrats, Republicans lose." [GOOD!]

    @WIRED @politics-WIRED

    Weird how #governance issues beset a total #GOPmajority like the 45th administration replaying hits 🥁 via another #GOPGovernmentShutdown due to #NoArtNoDeal #GOP negotiations breakdowns in the 47th administration 🥁💥
