Highly unusual:
A group of Dem House staffers circulating a letter they'll send to upper chamber urging Senators to vote to convict Trump and bar him from ever holding office again
Here:
politico.com/f/?id=00000177…
2-“As employees of the U.S. House of Representatives, we don’t have a vote on whether to convict Donald J. Trump for his role in inciting the violent attack at the Capitol, but our Senators do,” they write.
3-"“And for our sake, and the sake of the country, we ask that they vote to convict the former president and bar him from ever holding office again.”
This is just beginning to circulate, more than 100 staffers have signed it
Today they'll take it to GOP staffers for signatures ..

Word today that the reason Biden's Cabinet noms are moving so slowly is bc McConnell is gumming up the works over this filibuster deal he wants Schumer to cut
Mitch won't agree to an organizing res w/o it
Chuck won't do it (he shouldn't)
W/o it GOP still tech run the Committees
1
McConnell's doing it again..
It's not clear what will break this stalemate
But the pressure on both parties is growing
Pelosi told donors last night that she wants to pass relief in 2 wks using budget reconciliation
But she (America) has to wait bc Mitch won't budge
2
And we all know that the second GOP take power back if Mitch wants to, he'll pop that filibuster sky high
Schumer knows it too
But Manchin (him again), Tester & Sinema want to keep it
Harris & 26 other Dems signed a ltr in '17 saying keep it
While AOC & even Obama say dump it
