Earlier today Speaker Nancy Pelosi delayed a vote that would've allowed most members of Congress to stay at home and vote by #proxy -meaning a fellow lawmaker could cast voted on their behalf.

Republicans strongly opposed it, now both parties are "Studying" the issue #NexstarDC

@GOPLeader

House @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy tells me he was against the proxy vote idea bc Republicans weren't at the negotiating table. Says one party is reversing 200 yrs of tradition. #NexstarDC

"What I'm opposed to is changing that without working in a bipartisan area."

@RepBarragan

Some dems tell me there are many Republicans privately in favor of the proxy voting plan, even as Republican House leaders are fighting it. Congresswoman Nanette @RepBarragan is for Proxy Voting, says Congress has to make changes even beyond #Coronavirus crisis #NexstarDC

@NewsNationNow

10 Democrat Senators signed this letter addressed to Sen. Lindsey Graham calling on him to state unequivocally that he will not consider any nominee to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat #RBG #RuthBaderGinsburg @NewsNationNow

The letter quotes Graham directly from 2016

1) “If there is a Republican President in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say ‘Lindsey Graham said let us let the next President, whoever it might be, make that nomination.’

2) And you could use my words against me, and you would be absolutely right.”

@NewsNationNow

From President Trump's memo on defunding cities w/ social unrest "...it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction." @NewsNationNow #NexstarDC

@NewsNationNow

"Yes, the President is serious about this."-Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany got a few questions on this, mostly when pressed that the move is unconstitutional. POTUS does not have the authority to unilaterally withhold funds appropriated by Congress. #NexstarDC @NewsNationNow

@NewsNationNow

McEnany broke down what this White House memo tries to accomplish in 3 parts...The legal experts & members of congress we've spoken to today say this is unconstitutional and will almost immediately be met by legal challenges. #NexstarDC @NewsNationNow
