Exiting WH, Susan Collins calls 2 hour meeting with Biden "very productive" and "cordial"
Collins: "It was a very good exchange of views. I wouldn't say we came together on a package tonight, no one expected that...but what we did agree to do was to follow up at the staff level...on how we can continue to work together"
Collins: "It was an excellent meeting and we're very appreciative that in his first official meeting in the Oval Office the president chose to spend so much time with us"

Fresh reminder that Dems still don’t control Senate committees because there’s still not a deal on the organizing resolution.

Durbin writes to Graham, who is still the chairman of Judiciary, asking him for a Feb. 8th hearing for Merrick Garland’s nomination to DOJ.
Durbin writes to Graham: "It is my hope....that you will reconsider your objections to proceeding with a February 8 hearing."

Stunned. Just stunned.
“If I walked into my place of work tomorrow and I saw this, I’d be stunned myself,” one National Guard soldier tells me after I expressed my shock in some impolite terms

Completely forgot I tweeted this on the morning of Jan 6, walking into work
You can see police set up a perimeter of barricades far away from the building that morning. I remember flashing my badge to a cop at one of these barricades, again, far away from the building. Somehow this perimeter completely collapsed in just a few hours.
You can see this perimeter in this photo I took looking out the north side of the building at 1:48, when Trump supporters first started streaming in from the Mall.
