Here's the second letter WH Cousel Dana Remus sent to Nat'l Archives
Dated 10/8 & publicly released today
-doubling down on Biden's position that EP not be extended to Trump for *any* of the docs requested by Jan 6th Committee
thread:
whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
2/"For the same reasons described in my earlier letter, the President maintains his conclusion that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States, and therefore is not justified as to any of the documents
3/"..Biden does not uphold the former President’s assertion of privilege [&] instructs you..to provide the pages identified as privileged by the former President to the Select Committee.
4/"In light of the urgency of the Select Committee’s need for the information, the President further instructs you to provide those pages 30 days after your notification to the former President, absent any intervening court order"

Biden's Supreme Court Commission has released a draft report on their findings
And it doesn't look like they're strongly recommending an expansion
Final report due 11/14
Per Psaki: Biden won't be commenting until the final report is released
Here:

2/"The commission arranged a separate 16-person committee of Supreme Court lawyers and former solicitors general who collectively have argued more than 400 cases before the high court, to share their views on the proposals for major changes to the court.
3/"This group "unanimously oppose[d] proposals to enlarge the court" because "increasing the number of justices represents an escalation of the problem, not a solution, and a larger bench could make arguments less productive, deliberations more difficult,

Lots of folks aren't understanding what's involved in Congress referring for criminal contempt. So here's a thread from Jan 6th Committee chair Bennie Thompson's statement on referring Steve Bannon to DOJ
Everyone should read these words:

So I just read Kyrsten Sinema's Wiki page
She had a rough early life
You would think that she is one who would *completely* understand the needs that reconciliation's social programs will fill for millions
Something is *very* wrong with this picture
Here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrsten_S…
2/"When her stepfather lost his job and the bank foreclosed on their home amid the 1973–1975 recession, the family lived for three years in an abandoned gas station.[19][20] Sinema has said that for two years they had no toilet or electricity while living there.[21]
3/"She later recalled, "My stepdad built a bunk bed for me and my sister. We separated our bunk bed from the kitchen with one of those big chalkboards on rollers. I knew that was weird. A chalkboard shouldn't be a wall. A kitchen should have running water."[21]
