Goldman: No no no.. let’s not listen to the FBI director. Let’s listen to— sorry what’s your title? Senior writer at Townhall.

Crockett: My Republican colleagues want to talk about keeping DC streets crime free. They can’t even keep the halls of Congress crime free.. My freshman colleague has just been indicted on 13 counts…

Moar!
Crockett: I am so excited that my colleagues across the aisle care about sexual abuse considering the front runner has just been found liable for sexual abuse..
The House Oversight Committee loves to talk about crime in the District of Columbia. You know what crime they don’t love to talk about? Gun violence.

Do it! He is THE up and coming superstar. I well remember hearing him on MSNBC (usually Nicolle Wallace) years ago and thinking, "what a stilted dude." Wow, has he blossomed.
Where did the charisma come from? And the emotion? I love it.

I will get to it in the near future. Thread title suggestions welcomed, I'm not as clever as the rest of you. But yeah, he's just amazingly effective in the committees. I don't think he's on the judiciary committee, a pity if they do get Durham up there to testify.

Did you know that he is heir to the Levi Strauss fortune? He's currently worth around a quarter billion, making him one of the wealthiest members of congress.

Rep Dan Goldman: Future NY Senator (goodbye Chuck).
He may not be on the Judiciary Committee, but can't then invite him in for the day? I know the Rs do that all the time w Jordan and others, and I think the Dems did that for the "Field Trip."

Luna ain't her real name, look it up. Are her fans Lunatics?
I'd like to see Adam Schiff in the Senate. He's the best candidate for Feinstein's seat. He's sharp.

WASHINGTON — A bipartisan bill set to be unveiled Thursday by Reps. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., would block members of Congress from getting paid if the U.S. enters debt default or if the government shuts down.
The No Pay for Congress During Default or Shutdown Act, shared in advance with NBC News, would withhold lawmakers' pay for the duration of a debt limit breach or lapse in federal funding, an attempt to motivate legislators to prevent either situation.
The bill comes amid growing fears that the divided Congress may not meet the June 1 deadline set by the Treasury Department to raise the debt limit or risk a catastrophic default on U.S. obligations. And the proposal, from two politically vulnerable members in competitive districts, represents a populist move to channel voter anger toward Congress, which is strong among both parties’ bases.
"If Congress can’t fulfill basic obligations tied to the strength and security of our country, lawmakers should not be rewarded with our salaries until we do our jobs," Spanberger said.

The Constitution very explicitly forbids withholding the pay of Congress or Federal Judges. If the US defaults, they are likely the only ones who will get paid.
I was wrong about that, it applies only to Judges...
Article III, Section 1:
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

I think Biden should just declare the debt ceiling unconstitutional and we're paying our debts like every other civilized country, and tell them to sue if they don't like it. Get 'em, Unca Joe!
