Shocking?
Late yesterday Tommy Tuberville told Hill poolers that he's considering voting to convict, saying he & "others" are waiting to hear what defense posits today but wants to consider all 'evidence'
This could be a deliberate false flag as GQP like to say...
We'll see
1/
He said:
"I think [Dems] made some good points that I hadn’t seen..I was open minded when I started. I'm a President Trump supporter ever since he got elected, and he helped me get elected, but this is a trial.
2/
"Yeah, I mean, you know, they put their facts forward and let's hear what they do tomorrow and then we'll talk about some questions and go to that point … I think there's a lot of people like that too.
3/
"I don't think I think it's -- everybody thinks that, you know, just because who you supported, who you voted for -- this is a different scenario.”

Relief bill got thru Ed & Labor markup yesterday
Today it'll be marked up by Agriculture, Financial Svcs, Transportation & Ways & Means comms
Ways & Means has over $900B of it, w direct payment language & Neal's child tax credit
House GOP expected to make some noise @ this today!

-they just feel like it
so..
Ranking [GOP] subcommittee members-including Nunes, Walorski & Smith are said to have a rash of amendments designed to slow the relief markup down at every turn

"As [GOP] get ready to beat back a Trump impeachment conviction for the second time, sources close to the former president say he’s already imagining his comeback.

“He’s compared it to that time in between seasons of ‘The Apprentice,’ building anticipation and wonderment for what’s to come,” one adviser told us of the period between his White House exit, eventual acquittal and his second act
2/
"Other Trump advisers said he has reveled in his silence on Twitter — expressing amazement at how much coverage his few public statements have garnered. “He finally realizes less is more,” one of them said"

A bit from Playbook this am @ how some GOP are reacting to last night's Greene speech:
Thread:
"Many Republicans now plan to give Greene a chance. She received a standing ovation at the conference meeting after she disavowed many of her previous beliefs.
"She told a story about a dark point in her life when she apparently turned to QAnon, according to a person in the room. She said that was a mistake, walked back suggestions that 9/11 & school shootings were a hoax & apologized for how her past statements were affecting them all.
"After she spoke, even Rep. TOM REED (R-N.Y.), a leader of moderate Republicans, stood up to thank her for sharing her story and indicated he’d give her a chance.

From Playbook am @ what happened in the McCarthy/Marjorie Taylor Greene mtg last night (sounds like Greene told McCarthy she won't cooperate)
Thread:
"During a two-hour meeting Tuesday night with Greene, McCarthy explained to the QAnon supporter that her
"controversial past statements were coming to a head. The problem, McCarthy told her: Democrats are threatening to force a vote to remove her from her committees — and that puts the entire GOP Conference in a bad spot. McCarthy tried to give Greene options,
"according to a person familiar with their talk: She could denounce QAnon and apologize publicly for espousing hurtful conspiracy theories and endorsing violence on Democrats. She could remove herself from the panel to spare her colleagues a vote on the matter.
