Slotkin says USCP have requested a 60-day extension of the National Guard. At her press conference today, @SpeakerPelosi said the Guard should stay as long as they're needed but will leave the decision to the Capitol security officials. — PolitiTweet.org

What's odd is that Thompson signed on as a cosponsor on 2/5/21 and voted for the version of the bill that passed in 2019. — PolitiTweet.org

Update on this: @BennieGThompson's vote was not a mistake. Here's his statement: “My constituents opposed the redistricting portion of the bill as well as the section on public finances. I always listen and vote in the interest of my constituents.” — PolitiTweet.org

The House has passed HR 1, a broad expansion of federal voting mandates and campaign finance reform, by a vote of 220 yeas to 210 nays. @BennieGThompson was the lone D 'no,' vote, which is likely the *second* mistake vote of the night, since he is a cosponsor of the legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

And here's the one Republican yes vote - Texas Rep. Lance Gooden - who says he pressed the wrong button during the vote and will be correcting the official record. — PolitiTweet.org

The bill bans chokeholds and no-knock warrants in drug cases at the federal level and ties state law enforcement funds to doing the same. It also changes the federal standard for evaluating use of force from "reasonable" to "necessary" and eliminates qualified immunity. — PolitiTweet.org

By a vote of 220 yeas to 212 nays, the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. @RepGolden and @RepRonKind were 2 Dem no votes, and @Lancegooden was the 1 R yes vote. — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of thank you's from @POTUS to House Democrats in his remarks to their issues conference today. His message: if we stay united it will show the American people we're capable of coming together for what matters most. — PolitiTweet.org

With no committee business to attend to (the House voted to strip her of committee assignments) @RepMTG seems to be passing her time by trying to stop all action in the House: for the third time in the past week, she has forced a vote on a motion to adjourn. — PolitiTweet.org

Some conflicting information about 3/4 in a statement from USCP today: They say they "have obtained intelligence that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group." No other details. They point to increased fencing and more manpower for security. — PolitiTweet.org

Also notable from Pittman's testimony: in the first two months of the year, there has been a 93.54% increase in threats against members compared to the same period in 2020. From 2017 to 2020 threats increased by ~119%, with the vast majority of suspects living outside D.C. — PolitiTweet.org
