This was entirely predictable, because the House GOP’s fealty to Trump is completely genuine at this point, and honestly, good on Liz Cheney for voting her conscience.
Like, voters aren’t *calling out* for Liz Cheney to be removed as the House Republican Conference Chair.

This is just a bunch of aggrieved men going ‘HOW DARE SHE???!?!??’
House Republicans: Donald Trump shouldn’t be impeached. It was just a little insurrection.

Also House Republicans: LIZ CHENEY MUST BE REMOVED FROM HER POSITION SHE OPPOSED OUR PRESIDENT SHE DOESN’T REPRESENT US IN HER MEANINGLESS POSITION AS CONFERENCE CHAIR THIS IS TYRANNY!!!
The best part about this is Donald Trump probably doesn’t know the names of 100 of these clowns who are willing punish someone for voting their conscience.

Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) had something on him. I believe it was a gun because a cop made a side holster motion to another cop. They refuse to let him in.

He goes toward the elevators, asks a member to take something from him, the member says he doesn’t have a license.
I also heard Andy Harris say he told his staff to remind him.
Andy Harris comes back, puts his cell phone and key on the desk, steps through the magnetometer, doesn’t set it off, and is now on the House floor.

Rep. Virginia Foxx absolutely walked through the metal detector, set it off, and kept walking.

I’m not going to make up a story.
The most charitable explanation I can offer is that she didn’t realize she set off the magnetometer.

The most likely explanation I can offer is that she’s just straight up lying.
Another explanation: Her staff asked her if she blew through the metal detector, she said no, and they tweeted this.

Either way, this is 100% a lie.

Kevin Brady says he opposes $2,000 checks because it would go toward people paying down credit card debt or making “new purchases online at Wal-Mart, Best Buy or Amazon.”

Funny, how people spent money didn't seem to be a huge concern when Republicans passed their tax cut bill.
You know, I just remembered that the day House Republicans passed their tax bill — a bill that Brady was instrumental in writing — he was one of the many Republicans who couldn’t name the tax brackets.

Listen to interview. Read the story.

The video with the interviews really is a trip.

I just went through the Twitters of all 126 House Republicans who signed on to that Texas lawsuit petition.

A few thoughts: [Thread]
The first takeaway is that the vast majority of these members — probably close to 100 — seem to have said nothing at all about the petition.

They didn’t note that they signed on, and they haven’t noted that the Supreme Court quickly rejected the case.
My best guess is that the majority of these Republicans would love to memory-hole the fact that they signed on to an effort to toss out the election results and disenfranchise millions of voters.

It’s simply another act of service for Trump to them.

A Thom Tillis staffer told a a 3-time cancer survivor that buying health insurance is the same as buying a dress shirt.

The woman, Bev Veals, asked him to imagine his parents in her and her husband’s situation.

He told her his parents would “gladly die.” m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5f…
This whole exchange is pretty informative, because the reality is this is the GOP position on health care: If you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t get it.

It really is just like a dress shirt to them. And some staffer got in trouble for telling the truth.

m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5f…
Tillis hasn’t apologized to Bev, though they’ve apparently “reprimanded” the staffer.

Bev’s husband theorized that Tillis hasn’t apologized because he doesn’t have an answer for what they should do. His position was accurately described by the staffer.

I got a Coronavirus test just now. And I learned a few things.

A short thread:
To start, one of the reasons it takes so long to get the results back is because we have to send the swabs to testing centers.

For DC, that means freezing your swab and sending it to North Carolina, where they’re already backed up.
Another thing I learned is that, to re-enter society after having Covid-19, you’re supposed to have two negative Coronavirus tests.
