In a new letter, Pence tells Pelosi he won’t invoke the 25th Amendment. While the move was seen as incredibly unlikely, he had not put out a definitive statement until now. — PolitiTweet.org

With a few lawmakers and senior staff in tow, President Trump is currently in the air on his way back from Texas. No comment from the White House yet on McConnell's stance or Cheney's announcement she'll vote to impeach him. — PolitiTweet.org

"There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution," Liz Cheney, the number 3 House Republican, says. About as far as it gets. — PolitiTweet.org

Liz Cheney: "The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President...I will vote to impeach the President." — PolitiTweet.org

Wow — NYT reports McConnell "has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party." https://t.co/lrtNzW6drP — PolitiTweet.org

In a memo, the Joint Chiefs of Staff say the riot was "a direct assault on the U.S. Congress, the Capitol building, and our Constitutional process...Any act to disrupt the Constitutional process is not only against our traditions, values, and oath; it is against the law." — PolitiTweet.org

After his defensive comments on threats to his power (some real and others, like the 25th, unlikely), Trump then goes on to say that "now is the time for our nation to heal. It's time for peace and calm." He says respect for law enforcement is the foundation of the "MAGA agenda." — PolitiTweet.org

In scripted remarks in Texas, President Trump says, "Free speech is under assault like never before. The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration. As the expression goes, be careful what you wish for." — PolitiTweet.org

"Everybody to a T thought it was appropriate," Trump says, as members of his own party are criticizing him, calling on him to resign and preparing to impeach him. — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

Trump says what he said last week has been analyzed by "many people" and was "totally appropriate" and the real problem was what other high-level politicians said about violence in Portland, etc. "That was the real problem," he tells reporters before turning and boarding AF1. — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

Without taking questions, Trump says, "We want no violence, never violence...On impeachment...it's ridiculous...This impeachment is causing tremendous anger. For Pelosi & Schumer to continue...I think it's causing tremendous danger to this country...I want no violence." — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

President Trump said he wants no violence and criticized the notion he might be impeached a second time, calling it "a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics” that is "causing tremendous anger.” — PolitiTweet.org

When he leaves for Texas around 10 a.m., it will be President Trump's first time in front of cameras since last Wednesday. He's been holed up in the White House since then, only surrounded by a couple of aides while most are keeping their distance from him. — PolitiTweet.org
