.@LeaderHoyer has advised members that the @GOPLeader resolution to censure @RepMaxineWaters is expected this afternoon. Next votes in the 3 p.m. hour. Most likely path: Democrats move to table the resolution, but they can only lose 2 members on that vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

In response to a handful of House Republicans forcing roll call votes on suspension bills - generally noncontroversial measures that garner at least 2/3 support in the House - @LeaderHoyer and @RepMcGovern will bring up a rule to vote on them as a block. — PolitiTweet.org

"To confront is to face," @LeaderHoyer says of @RepMaxineWaters remarks. "It does not imply violence." He adds, "we have so many Republican members who confront aggressively that which they disagree with." He invokes @RepMTG retweeting someone who suggested shooting Pelosi. — PolitiTweet.org

On her remarks compared to @RepMoBrooks at the Stop the Steal rally on 1/6 - where Brooks said 'American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass,' @SteveScalise said, "A lot of people have talked about the comments that other people have made and spoken out against." — PolitiTweet.org

"...Look, we all watched what happened and saw Officer Chauvin cross the line. We should be all focused on making sure that justice is carried out. The last thing you want to do is give grounds for an appeal that the judge himself acknowledges." — PolitiTweet.org

.@SteveScalise this morning called on @MaxineWaters to apologize for her comments in Minnesota: "It’s a powder keg down there and the last thing you want to do is make it worse and especially to give grounds for an appeal..."(1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS told a group of lawmakers today that if Republicans or a bipartisan group wants to offer another infrastructure proposal, they should present it in writing, soon, and with a pay for. The message: "Priorities are meaningless unless you have a pay for," per @NormaJTorres — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@GOPLeader says he'll introduce a resolution to censure Waters for her comments in Minnesota this weekend saying that protesters should "get more confrontational" if Derek Chauvin is acquitted. But with @SpeakerPelosi defending Waters, this effort will likely be tabled. — PolitiTweet.org

In response to the D.C. Medical Examiner's finding that Ofc. Sicknick died of natural causes following two strokes -- which occurred after he confronted rioters at the Capitol on 1/6 -- @CapitolPolice says "This does not change the fact Officer Sicknick died in the line of duty." https://t.co/mCTtVC1IPu — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@SpeakerPelosi said @RepMaxineWaters "doesn't" need to apologize for her comments in MN. "Maxine talked about confrontation in the manner of the Civil Rights movement," she said, and said the comments don't incite violence (h/t @AnnieGrayerCNN for the Hill pool) — PolitiTweet.org

Very late to this but this project by ⁦@frankthorp⁩ - a combination of portraits and oral history of the January 6th attack on the Capitol - is well worth your time to reflect on what happened 100 days ago. https://t.co/VA9SJXMUrN — PolitiTweet.org

This was a new proposal from the speaker. But a spox for @GOPLeader says: "Neither the Republican Leader nor his staff have been provided Speaker Pelosi's latest proposal, but hopefully the Speaker has addressed our basic concerns of equal representation and subpoena authority." — PolitiTweet.org

The White House backtracks after the backlash among Hill Democrats over their refugee cap announcement -- it's surprising that they didn't anticipate this kind of outrage in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@SpeakerPelosi marks the 100th day since the 1/6 attack with a letter to Democrats saying she has "once again sent a proposal" for a commission to study the attacks. Deep disagreements previously with GOP leaders over the scope and makeup of her last proposal. https://t.co/tzuOUz0dFI — PolitiTweet.org

Unsurprisingly, progressives are furious with Biden's decision not to raise refugee caps. @RepJayapal calls it "simply unacceptable and unconscionable" and says he has "broken his promise to restore our humanity" --> https://t.co/61TGIp6EO1 — PolitiTweet.org

New from @adam_brew and @aaronlarnavarro: The 139 House Republicans who objected to the 2020 election results raised nearly $37M during the first quarter of 2021, while the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him brought in a combined $6.4M --> https://t.co/nUGarVXcRY — PolitiTweet.org

.@GOPLeader also deflected on a question today about whether he'd like Trump to stop attacking @Liz_Cheney and other Republicans. "I think the best thing, the number one thing I want to have happen is make sure the next century is the American century," he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@GOPLeader says he has spoken to @RepMattGaetz who said he is innocent. He says any charges are brought forth the GOP will deal with them at that time but doesn't commit to taking any action now. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi doesn't give a timetable for when the House will pass a supplemental security bill, just saying it will be "as soon as possible." She says it will reimburse departments for what they spent defending the building on 1/6 and expanding the Capitol police force. — PolitiTweet.org
