1) Fox has obtained a memo, put out on USCP letterhead and signed, anonymously by “Proud Members of the United States Capitol Police,” about the 1/6 commission bill.
2) Fox has asked the USCP if this letter is the official position of the USCP. Fox has not heard back.
3) But the letter, sent to multiple Congressional offices, expresses “our profound disappointment” with both House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) about their opposition to the 1/6 commission.

1) We expect the House to consider a special resolution today by Republicans asking the Office of the Attending Physician to update the mask policy in thw House.
2) We could have a vote RELATED to the resolution today, but not actually on the measure itself. Probably a vote to table or kill the resolution.
3) The resolution asks Monahan to revise the mask policy to align with CDC guidance. In other words, vaccinated persons may ditch masks while inside the Capitol complex.

A) McConnell: About the disappointing fall-off in hiring, despite an historic number of open jobs, after Democrats renewed a federal program that pays people extra not to work.
B) McConnell: Well, here’s another misplaced priority from that spending spree: Our Democratic friends’ insistence on stuffing another wheelbarrow of cash into the accounts of state and local governments that were already rebounding from the crisis
C) McConnell: Rising tax revenues had put these states in a position not only to weather pandemic-related downturns, but to fill in pre-existing budgetary potholes that had nothing to do with COVID hardships.

A) McCarthy announces he opposes creation of bipartisan commission with equal representation between Democrats and Republicans. That bill goes before the Rules Cmte today and will be on the flr this week.
B) McCarthy: There are ongoing bipartisan investigations into all facets of the January 6 events occurring inside the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, as well as the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.
C) McCarthy: The legislation being considered in the House this week is drafted in such a way that could interfere with and ultimately undermine these ongoing prosecutorial efforts – just one byproduct of a process that circumvents committee markup

A) McConnell on Mideast: We are already seeing some push the false narrative that this conflict is a tragic dispute between two legitimate combatants where both sides share blame that is roughly equal.
B) McConnell: This yields calls for blanket ceasefires, and people wagging their fingers at both sides. This camp apparently includes some of our Senate colleagues.
C) McConnell: To say that “both sides” need to de-escalate downplays the responsibility the terrorists have for initiating this conflict in the first place, and suggests Israelis are not entitled to defend themselves against on-going rocket barrages.
