In the Trump impeachment trial, Democrats are showing more video of the attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters. ImageImageImage
Today's videos include police communications Image
Surveillance video from the first floor, Senate side. Can't tell what kind of flag the guy at the bottom right has. Image
Security footage of Vice President Pence and his family being evacuated. Rioters were just down the hall. Image
And Officer Goodman may have saved Mitt Romney's life.
We know Romney yelled at other GOP Senators on the floor. That might have taken place just after this video, when Romney goes back after Officer Goodman warned him of the approaching rioters.

Remember - there was about a 5-10 minute period where Senators were stuck on the Senate floor, with rioters in the hallways, before they were then taken to a secure location. It could have been a disaster. Image

Before the House Rules Committee, Rep. Ted Deustch D-FL got choked up for a moment as he discussed the mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and said it was flat wrong for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-GA to have harassed survivors of that event.
Rep. Jackie Walorski R-IN, the top Republican on the House Ethics Committee, says while she denounces Greene's comments, the move to strip Greene of her committee assignments is wrong. "What are we doing here?" Walorski asked.
Walorski says because many of Greene's comments came before she was a member of Congress, the Ethics Committee should have no jurisdiction over Greene's behavior before January 3, 2021.

Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks of winter.

Does that also apply to the GOP staying in control of Senate committees? Because it's Groundhog Day in the Senate on that again, with no organizing resolution yet.

This is *not* Regular Order.

It's just so normal now for Republicans to still be in charge of Senate committees - even though the GOP lost its majority - that it didn't even merit a mention as Sen. Jim Inhofe R-OK gaveled a nomination hearing to order this morning. Image
