The U.S. House of Representatives has launched a new investigation of the January 6th Capitol insurrection. AP's Jackie Quinn has more.
Just two Republicans crossed the aisle to join Democrats. "Yeas are 222 and the nays are 190."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says it's imperative for democracy that investigators get to the bottom of what happened on January 6th and the factors that led up to the deadly attack on the American symbol of democracy.
"We will be judged by future generations as to how we value our democracy."
Minnesota Republican Michelle Fischbach sees it differently.
"Instead of working in tandem with our Senate counterparts, Democrats wanna politicize this issue even further."

President Joe Biden signed three separate laws Wednesday that dismantled part of the Trump era on payday loan interest rates, methane emissions controls and how the equal employment opportunity commission settles claims.
"Each of these bills, each of these bills reflects return to common sense and commitment to the common good."
Under former President Trump, payday lenders could charge interest rates in excess of what states allowed and avoid state usury laws by working with a commercial bank.
The Trump administration also loosened rules on methane emissions from leaks and flares in oil and gas wells.
The Biden administration said in a statement that the EEOC claims process had increased the risk of retaliation by making it easier for employers to demand the identities of those with information about unlawful discrimination.

美国众议院对1月6日的国会暴动展开了新的调查。美联社杰基·奎因将带来详细报道。
只有两名共和党人加入了民主党阵营。"222票赞成，190票反对。"

明尼苏达州共和党人米歇尔·菲施巴赫有不同的看法。

这个由13人组成的委员会将只调查国会暴乱。共和党参议员们在这场两党会议中取得了胜利，随后，委员会的大多数成员将由佩洛西任命。杰基·奎因在华盛顿为您报道。
周三，拜登总统签署了三项独立的法律，包括发薪日贷款利率、甲烷排放控制以及平等就业机会委员会如何处理索赔。这几项法案废除了特朗普时代的部分政策。
“每一个法案，每一个，都反映了对常识的回归和对共同利益的承诺。”
在前总统特朗普领导的时期，发薪日贷款人可以通过与商业银行合作，收取超过州允许的利率，同时规避州高利贷法律。
特朗普政府还曾放松了对油井、气井泄漏和燃烧产生的甲烷排放的规定。
拜登政府在一份声明中表示，平等就业机会委员会的申诉程序使雇主更容易获取那些曾起诉非法歧视的人的身份信息，从而增加了报复的风险。
