"I promise I'm going to have your back," Biden says at the State Department. "America is back. Diplomacy is back." He also says that as chair of Foreign Relations, he would have staff do constituent service work in his Delaware office to remind them of whom they serve — PolitiTweet.org

The arguments from Republicans in this committee hearing are similar to the ones they made in the run up to impeachment last month: We don't condone the behavior, but we don't agree with the process — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell's statement earlier this week opened the door to several GOP Senators weighing in on MTG. Here, the recently re-elected Sen. Tillis: — PolitiTweet.org

Overheard on the Rules Committee Zoom: "Everybody please mute." A reminder that we are still in pandemic times. — PolitiTweet.org

GOPers are also arguing that MGT made the comments before she was a candidate or sworn. "The timing of the statements does not make them right," Walorski says, but it puts them outside the EC jurisdiction. NOTE, however, MGT is fundraising off all of this, not backing down. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

More process arguments from GOP: Rep. Walorski says she is not here to defend MGT. "I am here to defend the process of the House [and] the integrity of the Ethics Committee." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ted Deutch, who represents Parkland, is in tears now in this Rules hearing on MGT, who spread conspiracies about the shooting. "There are not words in the English language to properly describe" the impact of those conspiracies on the victims families, he says — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Cole says his argument here isn't to suggest that there shouldn't be some kind of consequence for the behavior of MGT, but that it shouldn't be done this way. Dems argue that McCarthy had the option to do it the traditional way and hasn't. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

In Rules Committee hearing now on MGT's comm assignments, GOP Rep. Tom Cole is making his argument on process: Says Ethics should take this up first, and doing it this way sets a precedent that the majority dictates the minority's assignments. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act: Psaki says it "remains a priority" but getting the American rescue plan passed through Congress is the focus right now. No timeline for pushing voting right bill yet. — PolitiTweet.org

“We have resisted speaking of her in this briefing room,” Paski says in response to question about MGT committee assignments. She says that is left up to Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Hoyer says Dems will hold a floor vote to remove MGT from committees tomorrow. Here's the benefit/cost analysis: it would put each GOP rep on record, help Dems paint GOP w. conspiracy brush but would set a precedent for majority power to determine minority comm. assignments. — PolitiTweet.org

This is notable because, as she demonstrated earlier this week, AOC breaks news directly to her constituents through IGTV and social media instead of going through traditional news outlets. The reach is extensive: her video this week has 5 million views and counting. — PolitiTweet.org

The White House was watching those interviews with WV's GOP Gov. Jim Justice, who urged lawmakers to "go big" on Covid relief. Psaki cited his comments just now in the briefing room ahead of Biden's meeting with GOP Senators tonight. — PolitiTweet.org
