“What were you thinking? What in your heritage gives you the freedom to deny me, to deny those women of color?” she continues. She says she’s not asking for floor action in Congress, but for members to make clear as they go home this weekend that rhetoric is “not America.” — PolitiTweet.org

“I believe last night the presidency was shredded,” @JacksonLeeTX18 says of last night’s chants at the Trump rally. Says she’s “frightened” for black women around the country today. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi, asked about Trump supporters chanting “send her back” at the North Carolina rally last night: “We condemned the president’s comments the other day. That’s our statement.” She’s referring to Tuesday’s resolution condemning Trump’s tweets with a similar message. — PolitiTweet.org

Among many votes the House is taking tonight: holding AG Barr and Commerce Secretary Ross in contempt of Congress by a vote of 230-198 for defying subpoenas issued by the Oversight Committee for information about attempts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

The motion to table has passed, setting aside the articles of impeachment for now. Vote: 332 yeas to 95 nays with 1 present. 95 Democrats voted no, meaning they would have supported moving ahead with the articles of impeachment - by holding a vote today or referring to committee — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Just minutes before a contempt vote is set to take place, AG Barr and Commerce Secretary Ross (who are expected to be held in contempt) write to Pelosi expressing disappointment and asking her to delay the vote. https://t.co/6qsYRC0l9H — PolitiTweet.org

A backhanded compliment of Trump from @SpeakerPelosi: “You have to give him credit. He’s a great distractor.” — PolitiTweet.org

“It was as gentle as it could be given the inappropriateness and the disgusting nature” of what he said, she concludes. — PolitiTweet.org

“It was a resolution of the House...in the most gentle way. You have no idea the provisions people wanted to include,” @SpeakerPelosi says of last night’s resolution condemning Trump’s tweets as racist. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

On @RepAlGreen’s articles of impeachment, @SpeakerPelosi says “I don’t know what we will do but we will deal with it on the floor.” So the mystery continues until this afternoon - will leadership allow a vote, try to table the resolution or send to committee? — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

“I think that the report has brought some clarity...when he speaks about it more people will know what is in the report,” @SpeakerPelosi says of upcoming Mueller testimony. “Let us listen, let us see where the facts take us...we’ll see what happens.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Per @ProducerKimB, @RepAlGreen says his articles of impeachment against Trump will be on the floor today between 4:30 and 5. Leadership hasn't said yet which option they'll take - vote on impeachment, vote to table the resolution, or vote to refer to a committee. — PolitiTweet.org

To recap the last hour: -Pelosi’s words calling Trump’s tweets racist were ruled out of order. -The words remain in the official congressional record because a Republican motion to strike them failed (190-232) -House is now voting to restore Pelosi’s speaking rights for the day. — PolitiTweet.org

House Republicans have been good at using procedure to make Dems take tough votes. Tables could turn today w/ resolution condemning Trump tweets. "If they can’t support condemning the words of the President, well that’s a message in and of itself," -Pelosi at a caucus mtg this AM — PolitiTweet.org
