Ted Cruz couldn’t possibly be flying to Cancun in the middle of this, could he? Like, truly?!
I mean, we’ll see, but there are a bunch of pictures being circulated — and there are several! — that sure look like him and tweets that claim that he took a flight to Cancun this evening. If anyone has a denial from Cruz’s office, please share!
I do feel like they’d have been able to deny this by now if it was false. Image
Or, definitely by now. Image
And, yes, I am aware that *one* reporter has tweeted that he confirmed it, but it’s not been matched by anyone and he has not responded to questions about the non-sourcing in the tweet. If Cruz is in Cancun (or Fort Lauderdale), I imagine we’ll find out by morning.
Also: Ted Cruz will still be Ted Cruz in the morning, regardless of where he is.

Thoughts tonight with his & Abbott & Paxton & Patrick & Cornyn’s constituents. People deserve competence, protection, & support from their government — particularly when at their most vulnerable.
Good thing the police in Houston didn’t have anyone or anything else that they needed to be worried about yesterday.

Lol. Half of this Nadler clip about Clinton doesn’t apply to Trump. Does Schoen know that? Was he allowed to watch this before playing it?

We still have not heard from #SCOTUS about the pending requests in Alabama’s attempt to execute Willie Smith. The state is asking #SCOTUS to lift two stays granted by lower courts, so the execution will not proceed unless the justices grant those requests.
Here are the two relevant dockets:
* spiritual advisor issue: supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?Fi…
* method of execution and ADA case: supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?Fi…
As Alabama acknowledges in its filing, it will not be able to proceed with Smith's execution at this time if SCOTUS doesn't act in the next 83 minutes because "Alabama’s execution warrant is only valid for twenty-four hours, until 11:59 p.m. CST tonight."

Mike Lee, what are you complaining about?
Nobody knows what they’re voting on or why. Not a good job by Leahy here.
Here’s an article about Lee & Tuberville, but not one that raises the concerns Lee raised: deseret.com/utah/2021/1/7/…

This is all you need to know about the cat attorney. He's all good with the joy he let loose today.
Have your fun, and don't feel bad.

Also: Is this the first time Twitter's character of the day had the pitch perfect response?
Sal talked to him, too! Good on Rod for taking this all in stride. [Insert cat pun here.]

Why is this guy talking about Pelosi delaying when McConnell was the one who said he wouldn’t bring the Senate back? Shouldn’t this complaint be addressed to Mitch?
What version of the Constitution is this?! Why does he have his tabs like that? I’m appalled on all fronts! Image
Howard has a better capture. Obviously.

Breaking: A large coalition of civil rights and civil liberties groups call on Biden to commute federal death row immediately. aclu.org/letter/coaliti… Image
The coalition — which includes @civilrightsorg, @ACLU, @amnesty, @NAACP_LDF, @LambdaLegal, @acslaw, @innocence, @verainstitute and more — calls for Biden to dismantle the federal death chamber and stop new capital federal prosecutions as well. Image
Not to be missed on this coalition letter: The former head of the lead org — @vanitaguptaCR had run @civilrightsorg until the past month — is Biden’s nominee for No. 3 at DOJ.
