The dead US Capitol Police officer's body was just driven in a motorcade down Constitution Avenue. Secret Service saluted ad thr body passed.
Here's more of the procession for the fallen Capitol Police officer. The Secret Service were emotional in a way I have never seen before. Incredibly sad.
Video footage of the processional and salute for the fallen Capitol Police officer on Constitution Ave by the White House.

Looks like this was the first part of the procession. So sad.

.@KJP46 has become the first Black woman to hold a White House press briefing in about 30 years.

Here's a picture of her gaggle on Air Force One yesterday.

I took it because I had the sense I was witnessing history.
I recently wrote a story about @JudySmith_, a trailblazer who became the first Black woman to conduct a briefing in 1991. google.com/amp/s/news.yah…
Karine's first gaggle on the plane actually came when Biden went to Atlanta on 3/19. I believe the great @dougmillsnyt may have a photo. But yesterday was her first gaggle that was fully streamed on the White House site since it was the big infrastructure bill rollout.

Some news this morning! I am writing about with my good friend @nycsouthpaw about the rise of the New American Left and its future. We are both incredibly excited to get started and hope it's something you'll all want to read.

This is a time of seismic shifts in our politics. While the turmoil on the right has been exhaustively chronicled there are also transformational forces shaping the left and their story has yet to be fully told. We can't wait to share it with you.
I am incredibly grateful to our rockstar agent @ameliaatlas, our publisher @wwnorton, and the many people who have shared their stories with us. I also could not have done this without the support of my family and my partner in crime @nycsouthpaw.

There are a lot of far right commentators sharing this horrific story and highlighting the fact the perpetrators are Black.
But there are also more mainstream conservatives sharing this story including from outlets like the Daily Caller and GOP operatives. In some cases, they're cooying videos taken directly from the far right explicitly racist voices including popular Gab and Telegram accounts.
Anyone who truly though Anwar's life mattered, would not use his death to make straw man arguments in some unrelated political argument.

This is literally a video of Peter Doocy complaining that he doesn't get to ask questions the White House while asking a question at the White House
You should make an NFT if this tweet @atrupar it's really an incredible historical artifact.
In today's briefing, @pdoocy said there is a "list" that gets to ask Biden questions and Fox is the "only" TV network that is not selected.

At this event on 1/25, Biden personally called on Doocy and said, "He always has an edge but I like him anyway." c-span.org/video/?c495450…

This article is missing *tons* of vital context and all involved here should know better.

In fact, it's missing so much I can't fit it into one tweet and will post the details below.
Firstly, it's not good to muddle solo news conferences and joint pressers with foreign leaders. They're very different — including in the amount of questions and how they're asked. I have basically written a whole article on this point. yahoo.com/news/president…
And as you can see in my article, after his initial solo press conference, Trump proceeded to avoid press conferences for a record stretch. That's not even mentioned in this WaPo piece, which is a pretty glaring omission.

Democrats I spoke to are concerned McConnell wants to limit a 1/6 commission to a review of security failures because he's "concerned with shielding his members" from scrutiny about their conduct that day. yahoo.com/news/matt-gaet…
There have been some links between GOP House members and 1/6 organizers. "Stop The Steal" rally leader Ali Alexander claimed Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, and Paul Gosar helped him plan events that day. I got this statement from Brooks' office when I asked about that. Image
Ali Alexander's January 6 "Wild Protest" site listed multiple GOP House members as invited speakers including Gosar. Then this week, Gosar's chief of staff @VanFlein was hanging with Ali - who's reportedly in hiding - on Clubhouse. They didn't respond to my questions about this
