Hell, McCarthy doesn't even listen to McCarthy. Can ya blame him?

Don't forget to ask for a pony with their demands.
You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion.

I think the Hill reporters to start asking this question.As long as we're talking about politically motivated prosecutors, did John Durham ever submit his final report after his two flaccid prosecutions? Or are we still paying him for a big bag of nothing

Actually, I think this falls more into the, “You’re not the boss of me!” category.

The irony of this letter is not lost on *everyone*.
The 118th Congress with Kevin "My Kevin" McCarthy, Speaker /Clowns
I am . All this outrage from the pubs over Bragg and prosecutorial misconduct, must have testimony and documents. I am old enough to remember when the Santos scandals hit, did the same group blow off any responsibility because its up to the NY voters and not Congress? I believe Bragg was elected, so isn't it up to those voters and local jurisdiction? Seems like more pot meet kettle going on.

VOTERS: gee, would be nice if Congress could do something about inflation and maybe make me feel a little safer too

News: Comer and MTG tell me she and Oversight staff are working to set up a congressional delegation to visit those jailed on Jan. 6. (Investigating this was a commitment she asked for last year.)
MTG would lead the trip (date TBD). Letter expected to go out this week.
<<<<NewThis trip is happening on Friday, per Comer

Yeah yeah yeah. I sure do yearn for a time when a good old fashioned pimp slap and a "who do you think you are? Michael Corleone?" becomes socially acceptable.

Nope, I think I knew the answer. CNN/Inside Politics actually had a nice discussion panel this morning about how they're not getting anything done with that small majority.

The House has passed 37 Bills, none of which have been passed by the Senate. They've passed 5 Joint Resolutions, 1 passed into law (nullifying DC's Criminal Code Reform Act of 2022) and 1 vetoed by the President (would nullify a rule allowing plan fiduciaries to consider ESG), the other three have not passed the Senate. They've passed 4 Concurrent Resolutions, the only one the Senate so far has agreed to was to invite the President for the State of the Union Address. They've passed 36 Resolutions, which have no force of law. And finally, they've passed 1 Bill initiated by the Senate, the Covid-19 Origin Act, which requires ODNI to declassify details on any links between Covid and the Wuhan Institute and submit a report., which has been signed into law.

This is also key, in statement from Rep. RASKIN ahead of the visit: None of the Republican members of Congress claiming there are “political prisoners”
in the DC jail have named or identified a single one — because doing so would subject the claim to scrutiny.

Disgusting. One of the Dem congressmen that went to jail was on Deadline WH this afternoon. IIRC, he said something about chants of let's go Brandon, yah know - real patriotic stuff.
DLWH also had Brian Sicknick's brother on today. The family just can't get a break. It was pointed out that it took some effort for McCarthy to meet with his mother and officers, while Babbitt's mother seemed to get right in. Kevvy probably gave her more attention then he did at meeting with Sicknick's mother.
Warning on the audio on those two tweets, there was a protester there really blowing his whistle and might be a bit loud on the bus/plane/train with others around.

The GOP member news conference outside jail drew heckler, protestor with a whistle… and a mobile video projection screen showing attack video produced by Jan 6 committee ===>

Good move bringing in the truck with video.There were protesters against Greene’s visit on site, including this truck blaring violent images of Jan. 6 as she spoke.
Lemme guess, nobody passed any legislation today, ammirite?

Green: "we tried to have them arrested" --- glaring ignorance of what the 1st Amendment includes. Except when they themselves use those freedoms...
