“Weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid debating the policy,” @AOC says, arguing Trump doesn’t want to discuss healthcare or migrant detention. — PolitiTweet.org

.@Ilhan to @Cordes on Trump’s claims that she had made statements about al Qaeda: I know that every single Muslim who has lived in this country has heard this comment. I will not dignify his comment with an answer. — PolitiTweet.org

.@AyannaPressley says she was approached by people in the airport on her way to DC today. “There were many people who approached me and said I disagree with some of your policies...but I think what [Trump] said was wrong. He won’t apologize, but I will apologize.” — PolitiTweet.org

.@AOC: “No matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. And it belongs to everyone...today that notion was challenged.” — PolitiTweet.org

“It is time for us to stop allowing this president to stop making a mockery of our constitution. It’s time for us to impeach,” @Ilhan concludes. — PolitiTweet.org

They’re also using the press conference to speak out against immigration raids and defend their votes against the recent humanitarian aid bill for the border. @Ilhan reciting a laundry list of Trump statements that disparage minorities. “This is the agenda of white nationalists.” — PolitiTweet.org

In other news, Kellyanne Conway defied a subpoena from @OversightDems to testify about alleged Hatch Act violations and the White House notified the committee just moments before the hearing. Cummings days the committee may consider contempt. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepCummings appeals directly to Trump through cameras at a stakeout: “Mr. President, you need to stop this. This is not bringing our country together right now...So Mr. President, I'm not asking you, I'm begging you to stop this, please.” — PolitiTweet.org

@nataliewsj I have to slow down substantially to avoid inverting the "b" and "p" in subpoena, which unfortunately is a word I use often these days. — PolitiTweet.org

In a letter to House Dems, ⁦@SpeakerPelosi⁩ announced a resolution in response from ⁦@RepMalinowski⁩, who was born abroad, and ⁦@RepRaskin⁩. She says, “our Republican colleagues must join us in condemning the president’s xenophobic tweets.” https://t.co/RBXgKwYTIp — PolitiTweet.org

After a long day of uncertainty, ⁦@RepAdamSchiff⁩ and ⁦@RepJerryNadler⁩ announce Mueller will testify a week later on 7/24, at his request. He will appear before House Judiciary for 3 hours, and then House Intelligence. https://t.co/TovhmCEbjB — PolitiTweet.org

By a vote of 402-12, the House reauthorized the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund through 2090. Future claims brought by sick 9/11 first responders faced cuts of up to 70% because the fund was running out of money. Now heads to the Senate, where McConnell has promised a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

That would leave some members on the 41-member House Judiciary Committee no time to question Mueller. A House Judiciary Committee spokesman said, “At this moment we still plan to have our hearing on the 17th and we will let you know if that changes.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Multiple sources tell me and @Olivia_Gazis that the Mueller hearing may get pushed back to July 24th, but that the negotiations are still fluid. The format has been under negotiation, partly over the deal that just 22 members per committee could ask questions. — PolitiTweet.org

Notable from @RepJerryNadler this morning at a hearing on addressing presidential misconduct: “Articles of impeachment are under consideration as part of the Committee’s investigation, although no final determination has been made.“ — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t make it up: just hours after @HouseJudiciary votes to authorize a subpoena for Jared Kushner...Jared Kushner is in their offices for a meeting. @RepJeffries said he had a meeting about the First Step Act and administration officials would be there. Is it awkward? “No.” — PolitiTweet.org

House to vote on criminal contempt on 7/16, for AG Barr and Commerce Secretary Ross. It's a chance for all House members to weigh in, but a legal dead end - criminal contempt citations from Congress are referred to a US attorney. US attorneys are under DOJ. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi says she is done talking about disagreements with freshmen reps @RepAOC @RepRashida @RepPressley and @Ilhan after her comments in caucus yesterday. She said she addressed tweets at request of members who took offense. — PolitiTweet.org

Structure of the hearing is still in flux - 2 sources tell me original deal was for 22 members per committee to ask questions. Fine for the 22-person Intel committee but problematic for the 41-person Judiciary Committee. Junior members not sure if they’ll get to ask Qs. — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller hearings are officially on the schedule for 7/17 - 9 am for House Judiciary and 12 pm for House Intelligence, both in the Judiciary Committee hearing room. — PolitiTweet.org

Remembering @Becker_MichaelD. He took a cancer diagnosis and used his remaining time to advocate for increased HPV vaccination. "We have a moral obligation to wipe HPV off the face of the planet," he told @DrLaPook in 2017. Michael passed away Tuesday. https://t.co/6C9himlNqY — PolitiTweet.org

More @SpeakerPelosi: "So, again, you got a complaint? You come and talk to me about it. But do not tweet about our Members and expect us to think that that is just ok." and a truth: "Some of you are here to make a beautiful pâté but we’re making sausage most of the time." — PolitiTweet.org
