RIGHT NOW: A lot of heat on the floor of the House after @RepRashida argued against funding for the Israeli Iron Dome security system, by citing a report that referred to Israel as an "apartheid state."
Fellow Democrat @RepTedDeutch of Florida rose to condemn Talib's comments- specifically the use of "apartheid state" and described the us of that language as "anti-Semitic".
House is voting now on a stand alone bill for Iron Dome funding. We will have to see how many progressive Dems break ranks.
Iron Dome Funding passes easily 420-9. 2 members voted “present”. 8 Dems voted no. 1 Republican voted no. Full rundown via @kristin__wilson:

MAJOR 1/6 Select Committee development.
President Biden has determined he will not executive privilege to shield Trump-era records per WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki in today's press briefing.
"We will respond promptly to these questions as they arise," Psaki said. "And certainly as they come up from Congress and certainly we have been working closely with Congressional committees and others as they work to get to the bottom of what happened on 1/6."
Psaki did make it clear this wasn't a blanket decision.. but that Biden was taking an "eye toward not asserting executive privilege," and that requests would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

NEW: A group of House Moderates just left Speaker Pelosi's office after an 1hr + meeting. Moderate leader @RepJoshG huddled with Majority @LeaderHoyer as the pair left the meeting.
.@LeaderHoyer told @mkraju
"I'm bringing the (bi-partisan infrastructure) bill to the floor on Monday," He also said they are "working towards" getting reconciliation to the floor as well. "Both bills are going to pass," he predicted.
I asked @RepJoshG if he would vote NO on reconciliation if the bi-partisan bill doesn't get a vote on Monday.
“I’m not going to answer that. I’ve got work to do and we have more work to do all weekend.”

NEW: A little bit of drama with the Dem passage of the CR/ Debt ceiling in the House. A group of progressives have told leadership they will not vote for the bill if it includes $1b in funding for Israel’s Iron Dome. The flap has led to the Rules Committee to go into recess.
UPDATE: A source confirms that Rep. Pramila Jayapal told her fellow progressives on call today that she will meet w/ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today. This comes as progressives have balked at $1b in funding in the CR for Israel's Iron dome. (@nicholaswu12 reported first)
MORE: The Iron Dome funding has been REMOVED from the CR/Debt Limit bill.

NEW: @January6thCmte has been huddled behind closed doors for a lengthy meeting tonight. Chairman @BennieGThompson tells @AnnieGrayerCNN & me:

“We will probably as a committee issue subpoenas either to witnesses or organizations within a week”
Thompson was responding to a question about how telecommunications and social media companies were responding to their records request. He said some have cooperated and some have not. (He would not say which ones)
Thompson said that while subpoenas of individual lawmakers have not come up at this point, that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

“They have not been discussed. But that does not mean it won't happen.”

The 1/6 committee is focused on those who played a role in the rally that preceded the insurrection. This is the initial list of Members of Congress that they are focused on:
In addition to members of Congress, the committee also will ask to preserve the records of these members of the Trump family.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy just held a press conference where he reiterated his call for Speaker Pelosi to reconvene Congress and pass a bill that would prohibit the White House from pulling troops until all Americans come home. We pressed him on a number of topics..
I asked McCarthy about the bill- which specifically states that troops must stay in Afghanistan but only if it is safe.
McCarthy conceded the bill said that:
"The only way we want troops to be there, is to make sure Americans get back safely and that the troops are safe."
An argument can be made give the huge number of casualties already.. (an argument McCarthy has made) that the situation is already unsafe. And the bill would effectively still give the White House the discretion to make that call.
