The House advanced a procedural motion to strip @RepMTG of her committee assignments by a party-line vote of 218 yeas to 209 nays. The full resolution will get a vote later this afternoon on the House floor. — PolitiTweet.org

House impeachment managers write to Trump requesting his testimony between 2/8 and 2/11 for the impeachment trial, saying his response "denied many factual allegations" in the article of impeachment. "You have thus attempted to put critical facts at issue." https://t.co/7nnH7qrlsJ — PolitiTweet.org

"These are words of the past and these things do not represent me, they do not represent my district and they do not represent my values" she says. — PolitiTweet.org

Then, a fairly stunning statement I never expected to hear on the House floor: ""I also want to tell you 9/11 absolutely happened. I remember that day, crying, washing it on the news. It’s a tragedy for anyone to say it didn’t happen." — PolitiTweet.org

She said she was "allowed to believe things that weren't true" and says she wouldn't be on the House floor today - where the House is considering a procedural motion to strip her of her committee assignments - "if it weren't for a few Facebook posts" she liked in 2018. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepMTG just spoke on the House floor giving a full recounting of how she started believing QAnon conspiracy theories, saying she discovered it in 2018 because she was "upset about things" and "didn't trust in government." — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, here are the top 5 amendments GOP senators will pursue during the budget reconciliation vote-a-rama set to begin this afternoon —> https://t.co/9hHqNOIL2c — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

@SpeakerPelosi also holding firm on the House vote today to remove @RepMTG from her committees. @GOPLeader and other R's warning it's bad precedent. "If any of our members threatened the safety of other members we'd be the first ones to take them off a committee. That's it." — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

On the minimum wage, @SpeakerPelosi says the COVID relief bill isn't the last place to try to pass a minimum wage increase to $15/hour if it can't be done through reconciliation with the COVID package. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Criticizing the GOP COVID proposal, @TeamPelosi says, "Are we going to feed fewer children? Are we going to inoculate fewer people?" There's a big gap between GOP $600b and admin's $1.9T, but they both give $20b to a national vaccination program and boost SNAP and WIC. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

"If we were not to follow up on this we might as well remove any penalty from the Constitution," she adds. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

"Ask anyone who cares about our democracy why we are bothering," @SpeakerPelosi says when asked why proceed with an impeachment trial when all signs point to acquittal. "We will honor the Constitution by establishing justice." She notes the House is moving on COVID relief too. — PolitiTweet.org

"We're not going to be in a situation where people can pick off any member of leadership," @RepLizCheney said tonight after surviving an attempt by her colleagues to remove her from her position following her vote to impeach former President Trump. https://t.co/lAO1HAAaj1 — PolitiTweet.org

Cheney hangs on: in the end, just 61 Republicans voted to oust her from her job with 145 Republicans voting to keep her on in the number 3 spot. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Vote is happening now. It's a secret ballot, so members get to keep their anonymity. This is why some people were so skeptical that there were 115+ votes to oust her, as the anti-Cheney forces claimed. It's easy to tell someone you're voting one way if the vote is secret. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Sources indicate this GOP meeting -- which began at 4 p.m. with a break for votes -- should be wrapping up soon. It looks likely there will be a vote tonight on whether to keep @Liz_Cheney as conference chairwoman. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Two sources familiar with the GOP meeting confirm that @RepMTG addressed the conference tonight, where she confirmed she believed school shootings are real and called them "awful" and apologized for her past support for QAnon conspiracy theories. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Also tonight: The House passed the budget resolution that will allow Democrats to use reconciliation to pass Biden's COVID relief bill if they choose. First, the Senate will hold a vote-a-rama on amendment votes before approving their version of the resolution. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

-Scalise said there has been a "good, constructive conversation" but wouldn't answer @bresreports repeated Qs about whether Cheney should stay in leadership. Wants to resolve it tonight -Still unclear whether there will be a vote tonight on whether Cheney keeps her post (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

A few updates on where things stand (w/ @cbszak @jackturmanIII and @alanhe) -McCarthy says he defended Cheney's right to vote her conscience on impeachment -He offered to move her to the Small Business Committee but implies that Hoyer refused (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

On the other internal GOP battle: @Liz_Cheney told her colleagues tonight she would not apologize for her vote to impeach then-President Trump, according to a source familiar with the meeting. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Here’s the full @GOPLeader statement. Looks like he sees no way to avert a floor vote on Greene but instead is setting up Republicans to argue that Democrats are abusing their majority powers. https://t.co/aMQxsnukEG — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Meanwhile, the House Rules Committee has finished meeting and advancing a resolution to remove Greene from her assignments. A full House vote is expected tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

This is a similar argument that we have heard from many Republicans on Trump with regard to 1/6 and impeachment: We don't like what he did or said, but we object to the process Democrats have chosen to reprimand him. — PolitiTweet.org
