Protesters have breached the Capitol. They’re outside the Senate chamber Image
This is happening Image
Police officers are holding them steps away from the Senate chamber, which is locked. Senators are inside. I see a few confederate flags. Image
Some sort of gas has been set off. I’m not sure by whom. Police seem to be trying to deescalate and talk to them. Image
“If we don’t get justice, this will never stop,” one protester yells

Katie Britt on Cruz's podcast recounted how Speaker Johnson told her not to worry about how past rebuttals went.

"He's like, 'People are going to tell you horror stories about all these things that happened, people's career will be blown up over it --it will be fine,'" she said
Britt said the media "didn't do their homework" on her speech.

"The liberal media isn't interested in the truth. They're interested in burying the truth about Joe Biden and his border crisis"

"When all the facts come out, people will see the truth," she added
Britt dismissed criticism of kitchen setting for SOTU rebuttal, noting that Warren launched her presidential campaign exploratory committee with a video shot in her kitchen.

"That's the place where we gather and I think that's threatening to them," Britt said

Lankford says he anticipates supplemental won’t pass Wednesday !
Wow. Lankford won’t say if he’ll vote to advance his own bill on Wednesday !

“The biggest issue that I have is obviously I've got a lot of members that have questions on it. It's not going to move and become law if we try to be able to force this right now on it.”
This is incredible. I just again asked Lankford to clarify if he’ll vote for cloture & he said:

“Why would we force a vote on something that would kill it to be able to force the vote now versus give it more time and give the opportunity to be able to be able to go through it?”

“It’s a very specific legal argument and I’m afraid I’m just not up on it enough to be able to comment,” GOP Sen. Rand Paul says of Trump’s immunity claims
Cornyn seems to be more up on the legal theory.

“I think the law should apply to everybody,” he says. “That’s one of the things that makes America unique and it’s very important.”
Rubio says presidents have immunity because “we don’t want one branch of gov’t being able to threaten another,” but adds they aren’t above the law.

“If some president is taking bribes, they’re obviously not going to be immune from prosecution

He called Jan 6 charges “a stretch”

GOP Sen. Mike Rounds: “You never like to hear a former president has been found in civil court guilty of those types of actions.”

Asked if he could support someone found liable of battery, Rounds said, “I would have a difficult time doing so.”

He heaped praise on Tim Scott
Sen. Kennedy declined to comment when asked about jury finding Trump liable of sexual battery.

“I don’t have anything for you on that.”
Cramer says he sees no reason to doubt the jury but he won’t rule out supporting Trump if its him vs. Biden.

“Obviously I’d rather have a president that isn’t found liable for battery,” he said

“t’s not a disqualifier, but it’s certainly not a check in the plus column.”

Graham on MTG, others applauding leaker of classified info:

"What they’re suggesting will destroy America's ability to defend itself. That it’s OK to release classified information based on your political views. That the ends justify the means. It is not OK," he says on ABC
Graham added: "There is no justification for this. And for any member of Congress to suggest it’s OK to leak classified information because you agree with the cause is terrible, irresponsible, and puts America in serious danger."
Graham on TX abortion ruling: "I don’t like a district court judge issuing a national decree. Even if I agree with the judge."

He says that allowing the abortion pill "to be sent through the mail violates an existing statute on the books" and that it'll be decided by SCOTUS

"Neither the intelligence community nor law enforcement obtained intelligence in advance of January 6th on the full extent of the ongoing planning by President Trump, John Eastman, Rudolph Giuliani
and their associates to overturn the certified election results." Image
re: delays to National Guard deployment, Jan 6 committee "recognizes that some at the Department had genuine concerns, counseling caution, that President Trump might give an illegal order to use the military in support of his efforts to overturn the election." Image
