Big flurry of votes now on the Senate floor; Flake changes from No to Yes. Corker votes Yes - now tied at 47-47.
Jones D-AL votes "Aye" - the only Democrat to do that on the motion to proceed. VP Pence breaks the tie.
McConnell says it's up to Democrats to cut a deal with the President. There seems to be no deal in sight.

VP Pence now in meeting just off the House floor in Speaker Ryan's ceremonial office. Photos not allowed. Lots of security. Lots of reporters.
Secret Service seems especially skittish outside Pence meeting. We have been specifically warned not to push too closely for comment upon departure. Normally Pence walks by us without any issue.
Pence, Kushner, Mulvaney leave without comment. Meadows says talks are 'ongoing'

.@POTUS What the #DOJ #FBI #JTTF #DHS have done is to take the most "successful" tenets of various torture protocols & have deployed them here in the USA, thru #ThreatFusionCenters.

2) What #DOJ refers to as #TheProgram is in reality not a #CounterIntelligence Program (#COINTELPRO) but rather a counter-terrorism program in which #terrorist tactics r used against the targets; i.e. anyone who has been put on the shitlist by rogue feds/LE. This is #terrorism.

I think I understand some of this succession stuff ... for the dummies like me out there: It only matter whether #Rosenstein was fired or resigned for his duties as deputy attorney general.
But he was overseeing the Mueller probe as the acting attorney general (because Sessions had to recuse).
Whoever replaces him as acting deputy attorney general (until Trump appoints someone new) cannot also perform the duties of acting attorney general. No "acting-acting" allowed.

Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein suggested he secretly recorded @POTUS and discussed the 25th Amendment, reports @nytimes. nyti.ms/2xxNdwl
“The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect,” Rosenstein said in a statement. “Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
My colleague @masoodfarivar relays from source who was in room (with DAG when he made the comment): “I remember this meeting and remember the wire comment. The statement was sarcastic and was never discussed with any intention of recording a conversation with the president.”

Attorney General Sessions Delivers Remarks on the Administration's Continued Commitment to Protecting First Amendment Freedoms at the Justice Department’s Forum on Free Speech in Higher Education
Thank you also to Jesse for his remarks and all of our panelists—especially the fabulous Heather Mac Donald, who I think provides some of the best insight on criminal justice issues in America today.
And Nadine Strossen, the always principled and challenging former president of the ACLU, our keynote speaker.

I’m looking forward to this afternoon’s conversation between Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and my good friend and our former Secretary of Education,

Thank you Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Acting Associate A.G. Panuccio.

Thank you to Rhea Walker for once again lending your beautiful voice to this ceremony.

And thank you all for being here.

At this very hour 17 years ago, our country was changed forever.
We had been struck with the deadliest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.

Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives. More than 1,300 children became orphans and more than a dozen unborn children lost fathers they would never meet.
