Liz Cheney is out of leadership. The House GOP booted her from her post over her repeated criticism of Trump. politico.com/news/2021/05/1…
Cheney briefly addressed the conference before the voice vote.

"If you want leaders who will enable and spread his destructive lies, I’m not your person, you have plenty of others to choose from. That will be their legacy," Cheney said. politico.com/news/2021/05/1…
Cheney’s removal from leadership delivered a demoralizing blow to the small but vocal anti-Trump wing of the GOP, while serving up a major victory to hard-line conservatives who failed to take her down in Feb. and have agitated for her removal ever since

"We cannot both embrace the 'Big Lie' and embrace the Constitution," Cheney told reporters after the vote politico.com/news/2021/05/1…

The vote to oust Rep. Liz Cheney is all but a foregone conclusion; we already know she is a goner. But there are quite a few unknowns to keep an eye on 🧵 politi.co/3tGZJnp
Will Cheney, or another member, call for a recorded vote or allow it to pass by voice vote?

It's been estimated that as much as 90 percent of the conference would vote her out – a landslide loss.

Will members be allowed to speak?

We expect it will be a quick meeting, with some House Republicans estimating it could wrap in an hour and a half (the last vote to oust Cheney took four hours). politi.co/3tGZJnp

Trump still blocked from Facebook — for now politico.com/news/2021/05/0…
Former President Trump’s Facebook account should remain suspended, the company’s oversight board announced this morning while leaving the door open to his possible return down the line politico.com/news/2021/05/0…
The oversight board's decision comes nearly 4 months after Facebook suspended Trump’s account over fears he might incite additional violence following the Jan. 6. attack on the Capitol by his supporters. politico.com/news/2021/05/0…

🧵 The 117th Congress is the most diverse ever, not only racially and ethnically, it also has more women & members of the LGBTQ community.

We sat down with 5 of the newest members from both sides of the aisle to get a better look at how they tick. politi.co/3nqNYQv
1️⃣ @ByronDonalds is one of only two Black Republicans in the House. He made headlines by running on controversial ideas like speaking out against Covid-19 safety measures and contesting the 2020 election. politi.co/3xAji3X
2️⃣ @NikemaWilliams' election win was marked by history. She became the first woman to represent Georgia’s 5th district, taking over the seat of her mentor, the late civil rights icon John Lewis. politi.co/3nMOnx7

🧵 Starting the day Joe Biden took office, photographer @StephenVoss roamed the halls & streets of D.C. to capture the strangeness of life in D.C. at the dawn of a new presidential era.

Here’s what the first 100 days of Biden’s Washington looked like 👉 politi.co/2ShPsBe
Days into Biden’s presidency, the focus in Washington was still on Donald Trump, whom the House had voted to impeach for inciting the Capitol insurrection.

Trump became the first U.S. president to be impeached twice. A handful of lawmakers walk...

Today is President Biden’s 100th day in office.

Take a look at a few things he has and hasn’t done so far – and what next on his list. 🧵 Image
•The pandemic•

Biden’s first 100 days saw real gains against the pandemic with the vaccine rollout and passage of a massive relief package.

But the next 100 days — and the 100 after that — will determine how well Covid-19 is contained. politi.co/3gJ046r
•Next up on vaccinations•

Biden hit his goals, and more than 1/2 of adults have gotten at least 1 shot. But now supply is exceeding demand in rural areas and big cities.

Governors say they need help to reach the 16% of adults who are vaccine hesitant. politi.co/3asX9ur

Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi elbow bump before Joe Biden's joint address to Congress.

For the first time, it's two women flanking the president, notes @davidsiders.

More live analysis of Biden’s joint address to Congress: politi.co/3u1G96h
The VP and House Speaker typically sit behind the president for speeches to Congress. This year, for the first time, that's two women.

Biden says “it's about time.” politi.co/3gMez9j
