“U.S. Speaker Paul Ryan and his Republican lieutenants want to hit fellow lawmakers with fines and potential ethics violations if they engage in live-streaming or other disruptions on the House floor.

This is but one of the changes the House proposes making in its proceedings. Reportedly, appropriations legislation might again be subject to the “Holman rule.”
