At 10AM ET, the House Judiciary Subcmte on Courts meets to discuss "The Need for New Lower Court Judgeships, 30 Years in the Making."
I will have the report for @CourthouseNews.
The witness list for today's hearing on the need for new lower court judgeships:
And a link to the livestream here:
WASHINGTON (CN) — The number of cases fought in U.S. lower courts has increased exponentially over the last 30-plus years, but the number of judgeships has not — a disconnect that took the focus of House lawmakers on Wednesday.

Hearing is underway now on the rise of domestic terrorism in the U.S. I'll have coverage for @CourthouseNews later.
Rep. Jackson Lee, at today's hearing on rise of domestic terrorism in the US and speaking of the continued presence of white supremacist threats, holds up this image from Jan. 6. There's no question what was intended here, she says. "We all know what this is meant to say." Image
The very next round of questions at today's hearing on the rise of domestic terrorism began w/Rep Andy Biggs of AZ asking panelist Andy Ngo about the threat of "antifa violence." He did not address 1/6 violence after Jackson Lee's initial q's.
More later for @CourthouseNews

An update.
As I write this I am getting ready to relieve the nighttime caregiver that all of you who donated helped me hire for a couple days each week. I would have been squeezing in winks in a chair next to her in home hospital bed (thank you hospice) otherwise. As for her...
She's getting near the end. We all know this in my family, including her. With the level of pain she is enduring and has endured, there will be some relief in knowing when this is over, as much as it will shatter me, she won't be suffering so intensely. She doesn't deserve that.
Because of all of you, Ive been able to help her so much more than I could have done alone. Medicine, diapers, nutritional needs, even the ability to hire a person to help me physically lift her these last 2 weeks from one side of her bed to another...you don't know what it means

Today at 10AM ET, the Senate Rules and Senate Homeland Security committees convene for a joint oversight hearing on the security failures at the Capitol on 1/6. Witnesses below. Story later for @CourthouseNews.
You can catch a live stream of today's hearing here: c-span.org/video/?509061-…
What's on the menu today? Senators will zero in on the role of Cap security leadership during the siege. Sund, the former US Capitol police chief as well as Irving and Stenger - the House and Senate sergeant at arms respectively - each resigned after the attack.

I'll be off this week as we continue to get mom's care sorted out.
That said, what we are doing this wk would have been literally impossible w/o everyone's kindness and generosity, including getting overnight help a couple times this week so I can sleep more than 2hrs a night.♥️
I tried to go through each donation and say thanks in the last week or so but it has been difficult to start one thing, even simple, and finish it. If I havent said thank you individually: please know I really am grateful. I hope one day your compassion is rewarded & returned.
I should also note how lucky I am to have an employer who has been supportive of my time and needs. Its part of why I dont mind burning midnight oil when I do! If you enjoy my reporting and you haven't told your friends about @CourthouseNews I hope you will.

Defense team has up to 16 hours over two days to make their case but the rumblings around town are Trump's attys want to end this expeditiously, so we could very well see this thing come to a close on Saturday.
