In a prelude to the House passage of the 1/6 Commission Bill- Homeland Security Chair Benny Thompson said that leadership (aka Pelosi/ McCarthy) was kept in the loop and offered changes and suggestions throughout his negotiations with GOP Ranking Member John Katko. Image
“It’s quite unfortunate that the Minority Leader has, at the last moment, raised issues that, basically, we had gone past, and there was no issue, despite all his talk now. But I guess that’s politics,” Thompson said.
.@SpeakerPelosi stops short of warning that if the Commission plans fail that she will call for a select committee.
“I certainly could call for hearings in the house with a majority of the members being Democrat,” she said (more)

NEW: Gaetz sighting--> Rep. Matt Gaetz will make his first public appearance since the revelations of an FBI investigation into his conduct.
The Florida Congressman will speak Friday at the "Women for America First" Save America Summit at Trump National in Doral, Florida.
This development.. and more news on the situation with Gaetz in our latest dispatch on the topic w/ @JeremyHerb & @DanaBashCNN
cnn.com/2021/04/06/pol…
Among the nuggets:
*Leader McCarthy had said he planned to meet with Gaetz to discuss the investigation- his office won't say if that meeting has occurred.
*We polled a dozen or so GOPers who took campaign $$ from Gaetz- only one said they planned to donate or return the money.

BREAKING: USCP Acting Chief Pittman announces that one of her officers was killed during the confrontation in front of the U.S. Capitol.
Pittman did not reveal name of the officer who was killed. She said they are still in the process of notifying next of kin.

Unbelievably tragic news.
JUST IN: @SpeakerPelosi has ordered the flags at the Capitol to be flown at half staff in honor of the fallen Capitol Police Officer

House Democratic leaders pushed back today on worries from progressives that the covid relief pkg is the only hope for passing a minimum wage increase in this Congress. ⁦@SpeakerPelosi⁩ told me “we will have other reconciliations.” Image
Pelosi said her conference will not stop their efforts to get the increase- but said if it is not in the final Covid relief pkg it should not prevent that pkg from being passed.
"Let's not be diverted into thinking into what is not in it, but lets respect it for what is in it.”
.@LeaderHoyer said the Senate's filibuster rules should be modified:

"I am one who believes the filibuster is an undemocratic
utilized in my early generation when I started in an interest in public affairs, to undermine the rights of citizens of color in America."

Just emerged from the Senate Chamber where I watched the reaction as the video presentation began. Every Senator was watching with rapt attention. At one point Senators Bennett & Warner stood up from their seats to get a better view of the screens.
Watched for another more than hour and it was unbelievable how close the Senators in the room paid attention to each part of the presentation. In many cases they seemed to be in stunned silence as the presentation played out.
At one point- When the video played of a rioter ending his remarks by yelling “Peace out” into the camera- Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) shook his head in disgust.

Dramatic moment on the House Floor- Majority Leader Steny Hoyer walked a giant picture of a @RepMTG tweet across the House floor. The tweet features an AR-15 and members of the so called “Squad”.
The tweet read:

“AR-15- the squad’s worst nightmare.”
 
Hoyer said: “They are not the squad- they are Ilhan, they are Alexandria, they are Rashida. They are our colleagues.”
More from Hoyer-
“No member ought to be permitted to engage in the kind of behavior that Rep. Greene has and face zero consequences.”
