Three of the court's judges ruled unanimously that Owens' visit to Australia risked causing dissension or strife on matters of politics, according to Reuters. They cited her past rhetoric regarding Muslims, Jews, vaccines, the LGBTQ community and "Holocaust denial" as reasons for rejecting her visa application.

U.S. Capitol Police were called about an American flag altered to include a swastika and displayed inside the office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio), his spokesperson said. POLITICO obtained an image taken during a virtual meeting that shows the flag pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, one of Taylor's staffers. Alongside the flag " with altered red and white lines in the shape of a swastika " are pinned images, including a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. It is unclear what role, if any, Elia had in the incident. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
