A) From colleagues Peter Doocy/Pat Ward. GOP KY Sen Rand Paul on envelope sent to his house. Envelope says “I’ll finish what your neighbor started you motherf*****”
B) Paul blames singer Richard Marx, who tweeted: “I’ll say it again: If I ever meet Rand Paul’s neighbor I’m going to hug him and buy him as many drinks as he can consume.” That’s a reference to the 2017 assault on Paul which broke his ribs.
C) Paul: “I take these threats immensely seriously. I have been targeted multiple times now, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to advocated for violence against me and my family. This must stop.”
D) Paul: “Just this weekend Richard Marx called for violence against me and now we receive this despicable powder filled letter.”

1) The House of Representatives fined multiple Republicans recently for failing to don a mask on the floor. $500 for a first offense. $2,500 for a second offense.

There’s a general premise on Capitol Hill that Members of Congress don’t like to be told what to do.
2) But, lawmakers agree to a certain set of rules – on which Members themselves vote – for how the House and Senate operate. A lot of those rules deal with how lawmakers comport and conduct themselves and respect the institution. Lawmakers may vote no or disagree with the rules.
3) But…

Them’s the rules.

Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution grants both the House and Senate the authority to establish their own rules. For a short period, or, practically indefinitely.

A) GOP GA Rep Greene: The media and Democrats and everyone feeding into it is allowing them to hide the truth, which is the disgusting anti-Semitism within the Democrat Party.
B) Greene: At a time when the Socialist Democrats and the Jihad Squad are supporting terrorist Hamas, and their supporters are attacking Jewish people on the streets of America, it's never been more important than now to stand up against forced vaccinations and mask mandates
C) Greene: Their attempts to shame, ostracize, and brand Americans who choose not to get vaccinated or wear a mask are reminiscent of the great tyrants of history who did the same to those who would not comply.

1) The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Where Infrastructure Stands the Future of the Filibuster
2)There is a lot of chatter about Democrats being forced to go it alone to finish the work on a potential infrastructure bill. Republicans and Democrats appear far apart after bipartisan negotiations seemed to have stumbled.
3) So some Democrats are pressuring Democratic leaders to drop the bipartisanship dalliance and move the bill on their own.

1) GOP WI Rep Gallagher on Fox on Wuhan lab theory for COVID-19: While I'm glad that Dr Fauci is finally supporting an investigation into the lab leak hypothesis, the fact is he spent the last yr throwing cold water on that..denigrating anyone who suggested we should look into it
2) Gallagher on Fauci: I do not believe he is being forthcoming about the fact that US taxpayer dollars grants from his organization..went through third party groups to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to support this dangerous gain of function research.
3) Gallagher: So Fauci needs to be far more transparent than he's being right now. And the fact is, evidence continues to stack up in favor of the lab hypothesis.

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.
