One side effect of Denver Riggleman’s loss in #VA05: it brings an end to President Trump’s perfect record of GOP primary endorsements this cycle, which the Trump campaign and RNC had previously boasted about.
Trump endorsed Riggleman, who was defeated for renomination by former Liberty University athletics director Bob Good, in December. https://t.co/bLqryp55nh
Trump’s endorsement record seems poised to take another hit tonight. His candidate in #NC11 is trailing badly, while Rep. Thomas Massie (who Trump called to be “thrown out” of the party) is in the lead in #KY04. https://t.co/K2ajVGZE8I

THREAD: This week, Congress sent a bill to the president’s desk that I can almost guarantee you haven’t heard of.

How can I be sure?

**Not a single article has been written about it by any news outlet, anywhere** Image
As has been reported elsewhere, the Senate passed a lot of bills by unanimous consent this week before adjourning for the year.

Two of these bills got a lot of news coverage: a bill transferring control of the old RFK Stadium site and a measure funding pediatric cancer research. Image
But a third House-passed bill sailed through the Senate, too, and this one hasn’t gotten any of the attention.

It’s called the Supporting America’s Children and Families Act, and it’s the first major overhaul of our federal child welfare system in more than 15 years. Image

It appears we have a visitor on campus today…
Unclear why @POTUS is visiting Georgetown. He is at Wolfington Jesuit Residence Hall, where he visited about two weeks into his presidency to receive his ashes for Ash Wednesday.

My report for @thehoya at the time: thehoya.com/biden-receives…
Biden just walked out and went over to a group of students to say hi

Biden interrupted by some protestors soon after taking the stage in Arlington.

“Why don’t you hang out and talk to me after this is over?” he says.

To the crowd, Biden adds: “This isn’t a Trump rally. Let them holler.”
Biden notes that his wife teaches at Northern Virginia Community College.

Which means, he leans forwards and adds with a whisper: “Terry’s gonna be her boss.”
Biden has often avoided speaking about his predecessor, sometimes referring to him as the “former guy.”

Not tonight: Biden is going after Trump directly at length, tying him to Glenn Youngkin and decrying the “big lie” and Jan. 6 riot.

This! Every piece of legislation or court ruling that’s mentioned in Wake Up To Politics includes a link to the full text so my subscribers can read for themselves and take a look at the documents that are being passed around the halls of power.
Plus: Every day, I include links to every bill being considered in Congress that day. Not many other sources put them all in one place — and it can get lengthy — but I get emails all the time from readers who appreciate being able to actually see what our leaders are voting on.
Anyways, if you’re a fan of transparency or if you’re curious what the President, members of Congress, and judges are doing and working on each day — subscribe to Wake Up To Politics: bit.ly/3otWkXq

Welcome to DC: It turns out Kamala Harris’ condo is not too far from my new apartment for the semester. The street is blocked off and there’s a small security presence (note the “VPPD” plates), although she will now reside at the Naval Observatory like past VPs.
UPDATE: Apparently the Vice President will be actively living down the street from me? If anyone’s looking for me, I might just be staking it out at all times trying to confirm.
The security presence outside the Vice Presidential Condo is growing — as is the crowd of well-wishers hoping for a glimpse at @KamalaHarris.

Some news from the home front: The colorful St. Louis attorney Albert Watkins — last seen representing the McCloskeys — has now taken on the “QAnon Shaman” as a client
Watkins’s defense of Chansley is that he only “accepted President Trump’s invitation to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.”

“The words and invitation of a president are supposed to mean something,” Watkins says. He’s asking Trump to give Chansley a pardon.
I guess this is answers the question @RepBrianMast dramatically asked on the House floor yesterday, about whether any of the rioters had said they came to the Capitol because of Trump. (Chansley’s defense is that Trump “invited” him there.)
