"The election is over. That is the rule of law...those who refuse to accept the rulings of our courts are at war with the Constitution," she says. "Every one of us who has sworn the oath must act to prevent the unraveling of our democracy...this is about our duty as Americans." — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

"Millions of Americans have been misled by the former president," Cheney says of Trump. "I am a conservative Republican and the most conservative of conservative principles is reverence for the rule of law." She goes on to talk about the legitimacy of the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org

.@Liz_Cheney is now speaking on the House floor ahead of Wednesday's election, where she is widely expected to be voted out of her position as conference chairwoman. The subject: "freedom and our constitutional duty to protect it." — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, @ryanobles caught up with @EliseStefanik for the Hill pool. She says: "We have a great deal of support from the Freedom Caucus and others." — PolitiTweet.org

He supported Cheney during the first removal attempt but says he will vote to remove her now because she is "pulling us into distraction...looking backwards while repeatedly and unhelpfully engaging in personal attacks and finger-wagging toward President Trump." — PolitiTweet.org

"After vacating the current Conference Chair...we should either choose someone who reflects our conservative values, or perhaps leave the position vacant," he writes. — PolitiTweet.org

In a letter to colleagues, @chiproytx says his colleagues shouldn’t rush to coronary @EliseStefanik to replace @Liz_Cheney because her voting record “embodies much of what led to the 2018 ass-kicking we received by Democrats” (followed by a list of specific votes) —> https://t.co/i8yEOycg5X — PolitiTweet.org

"There's virtually no chance she survives the vote on Wednesday," one GOP leadership aide says of @Liz_Cheney. But Cheney is "definitely not stepping aside" and will make her colleagues vote on whether to remove her. The latest with @MelissaQuinn97: https://t.co/W31iZcGKQt — PolitiTweet.org

He also writes the GOP embraces "free thought and debate" but adds, "our leadership team cannot afford to be distracted from the important work we were elected to do and the shared goals we hope to achieve" -- taking back the House in 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the letter @GOPLeader has sent to members telling them to anticipate a vote to remove @Liz_Cheney from leadership on Wednesday. "Having heard from so many of you in recent days, it's clear that we need to make a change," he writes --> https://t.co/oIH3k8PEvL — PolitiTweet.org

On tap for the May work period in the House: the Senate-passed COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act (which now includes the @RepDonBeyer Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act) and a resolution condemning the 3/16 shootings in Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org

(Says she thought she would leave in '16 if Clinton was elected). "I don't have any intention of declaring myself a lame duck. But, nonetheless, if my husband and my children and my grandchildren are listening, I fully intend — we want to do some great things in this election." — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

And! On whether she'll step down as speaker if Dems keep the majority in '22 (she promised to serve just 2 more speaker terms when elected in 2018): "Let's take it one step at a time..." — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Pelosi on @EliseStefanik potentially replacing Cheney as GOP conference chair: "That's really up to them. Maybe she's more, shall we say, compliant. I don't — it's not my business. I don't really know her." — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Newsy interview with @SpeakerPelosi by @JudyWoodruff today. On @Liz_Cheney: "Liz Cheney has been very courageous in speaking truth about what happened on January 6. And I salute her for that," Pelosi said, saying her treatment is a sign the GOP is "in denial" about 1/6. — PolitiTweet.org

The latest: a spox for @RepTroyNehls says Biden's staff reached out this morning to talk about his ideas, including recidivism reduction through inmate training programs. As sheriff, he implemented HVAC and welding programs for non-violent inmates at the county jail. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

That's the needle to thread. Pelosi has put a lot of public faith in Bass as the lead Dem negotiator, and she seems to know the boundaries. Last week, Bass said qualified immunity and section 242 are "essential" and shootings won't stop until officers are held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

"We'll bring it to the floor when we are ready. And we'll be ready when we have a good, strong bipartisan bill," @SpeakerPelosi says of when the House will consider an updated version of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. On qualified immunity, she defers to negotiators. — PolitiTweet.org

"We cannot require someone to be vaccinated," @SpeakerPelosi says of increasing member vaccination rates to return the House to normal business. "But you would hope that science would guide them to protect themselves, their family members, and good colleagues in the workplace." — PolitiTweet.org

With @RepPeteStauber and @RepJoshG in attendance, it looks like the @ProbSolveCaucus are working to be actively involved in this effort. More on the latest on negotiations here: https://t.co/CxQmsZ3gLf — PolitiTweet.org
