WHO REQUESTED HOUSE EARMARKS. Per my datacrunch (and confirmed by committee):

- 106 House Republicans. That is just under 50% of all H. Republicans.
- 221 House Democrats.
- Just 1 House Democrat did NOT request earmarks - @RepKatiePorter. She adamantly opposes the concept.
@RepKatiePorter Who requested earmarks? Easier to tweet the names of those who did not.

So here you go.

What is happening now? Leader Schumer raised a point of order that the impeachment articles themselves are unconstitutional - that they do not rise "high crimes or misdemeanors".

Senate is voting on that. No debate is warranted for this point of order in impeachment court.
Staff and senators are now huddling, seemingly to discuss the procedural mechanics, maybe options here. Note that Leader McConnell's staff is huddling with conservatives as McConnell listens from just outside the circle.
Prior to this interlude, Schumer offered Republicans the chance to vote on the trial structure and have debate.

- That would have teed up resolutions from Sens. Lee and Cruz.
- And allowed for likely 3 hours of debate altogether.
- But Sen. Schmitt objected.
- And here we are.

NEWS here. @SpeakerJohnsontext to House members:
"the House Rules Committee will be posting soon today the text of three bills that will fund America’s national security interests and allies in Israel, the Indo-Pacific, and Ukraine, including a loan structure for aid..."
That is a main headline. Here is the full text sent by @speakerjohnson:

"After significant Member feedback and discussion, the House Rules Committee will be posting soon today the text of three bills that will fund America’s national security interests and allies ...
@SpeakerJohnson "... allies in Israel, the Indo-Pacific, and Ukraine, including a loan structure for aid, and enhanced strategy and accountability.

These will be brought to the floor under a structured rule that will allow for an amendment process..."

New and newsy letter now out from @SenSchumer. Many bottom lines:
- Baltimore: The WH sent over a authorization request this morning for the bridge and port. That will need bipartisan support to move.

1/
@SenSchumer - Ukraine aid: Waiting on Speaker Johnson. "Speaker Johnson has to ultimately decide for himself whether or not he will do the right thing for Ukraine ... if he’ll allow the extreme MAGA wing of his party to hand Vladimir Putin a victory"
- Israel: Is NOT mentioned.

2/
- (Schumer does push the Senate-passed security bill, which includes Israel funding.)
- FISA. Also, waiting on Speaker Johnson and the House. W/ clock ticking to wiretap program ended April 19.
- Pinnable quote: "The House is working on a path forward for their legislation."

NEW: House has released another 5,000 hours of footage from J6. The prev. release was what Tucker Carlson got plus some cameras far from central areas.

Not sure yet what is in here - looking. And you can too! Reply with anything interesting.

rumble.com/c/CHASubcommit…
Here is footage of a moment rioters broke through, on the East Front on J6. (The side we have seen less footage from.)

These were the folks I saw violently breaking through the giant brass doors of the Capitol.

rumble.com/v41geie-camera…
One person I interviewed, immediately after they broke into the Capitol, told me they ran to the Capitol b/c police were firing rubber bullets.

He showed me a rubber bullet.

But this video it is clear backing of what USCP have said - the rioters were the absolute aggressors.

Hunter Biden transcript:

This is dense. Still going through it. Many detailed questions and answers.

But as I compile/sort out if anything is new here on Hunter, there are a number of exchanges about Hunter Biden's addiction that stand out.
Rep. Gaetz: Were you on drugs when you served on the Burisma board?

Hunter Biden: Mr Gaetz, look me in the eye. You think that's appropriate to ask me?

Gaetz: Absolutely.

Hunter Biden: Of all the people sitting around the table, you think that is appropriate to ask me? Image
Biden's attny repeatedly argued that qs about Hunter's drug + alcohol use were unrelated to the hearing.

The GOP disagreed and asked many times. The words "addict" or "addiction" are in the transcript 63 times.

Nearly as much as "Burisma" (86) and much more than "CEFC" (28).

OK. I have a lot of reporting on the - what is the right word? - unusual, explosive briefing that just happened in the U.S. Senate on Ukraine and border.

1/
First, the room, briefing. TOP officials. Some of the most important military and diplomatic personnel in the world

Sec of State, Antony Blinken
Secof Defense, Lloyd Austin
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General C.Q. Brown
USAID Deputy Administrator, Isobel Coleman
Then senators of both parties.

Early on, Sen. McConnell tells the group something along lines of "no one supports Ukraine more than me. But we have to talk about the U.S. border."

He turns it over to Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., who makes his best pitch for GOP plan.
