Earlier tweet deleted for correction: The House is technically voting to *condemn* Trump's recent racist remarks on lawmakers. Not technically a censure. But, if they did take it to this level, it would be historic since it hasn't happened since Andrew Jackson, 1834.
The parallels here are notable. Jackson's censure was triggered by his refusal to submit documents to Congress. Echoes of the past in today's administration.
And in a related development, the contempt vote for AG Barr and Secy Ross refusal to submit to subpoenas... that now moved from 7PM tonight to Wednesday.

Update on Bijan Rafiekian (aka Bijan Kian) trial here in EDVA. Prosecutors have rested their case, no more witnesses will be called. The defense will introduce their case soon and will ask for a motion to dismiss citing lack of evidence, reasonable doubt.
@CourthouseNews
Prosecutors asked Judge Trenga to hold off on a ruling until after the jury renders a verdict. He is considering that now on a short recess. This request indicates the govt is worried Trenga is leaning toward tossing the case. If he does, then govt will almost certainly appeal.
Update: Judge Trenga said there are "very substantial issues" with elements of both counts against Kian and things were "very circumstantial and speculative" but "there is evidence," he said and the court will allow the case to proceed.

At the Kian trial this a.m., we heard testimony from Jim Courtovich, a partner of Sphere Consulting, the company Flynn Intel Group hired to compile a video that they initially said would help private investors better understand why the coup in Turkey happened/Gulen's alleged role
Courtovich said of his first mtg with Ekim Alptekin - the Dutch-Turkish biz man who prosecutors say paid FIG $600K - Ekim was deeply disappointed with what Sphere had done so far. He was expecting Olivia Pope (of the TV show Scandal) Courtovich said.
Ekim told him: "I'm expecting investigations, congressional hearings, stories in the press. I'm getting none of this."
Courtovich said he "almost fell out of his chair."
The scope of the project FIG initially pitched had apparently changed drastically, he explained.

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
