“The issue puts Republicans in an awkward spot. Most Americans support same-sex marriage. Even a majority of self-identified Republicans support it. But evangelicals represent a huge share of GOP activists, and they still oppose it,” says @jpitney. https://t.co/4sZycnpwu1 — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Republicans split on same-sex marriage bill, which faces uncertainty in the Senate It’s ~halfway to breaking a filibuster: Collins, Portman, Tillis, Johnson are a YES; Murkowski sounds inclined. Unclear where the other 5 come from. McConnell is 🤐. https://t.co/4sZycnpwu1 — PolitiTweet.org

A small thing that stands out from the hearing: real time footage of some of the rioters watching Trump's video asking them to go home. The sudden shift in demeanor, the sense of dejection; it's clear those people were doing it for him and — they believed — with his support. — PolitiTweet.org

Cheney says these facts would stand even if McCarthy didn't pull his picks. "Do you really think Bill Barr is such a delicate flower he'd wilt under cross-examination? Pat Cipollone, Eric Herschman, Jeff Rosen, Richard Donoghue? Of course they aren't. None of our witnesses are." — PolitiTweet.org

The filibustered commission would've had appointees evenly split between the parties. No veto power for Pelosi, unlike this committee. At the time, numerous Senate Rs fretted that a 1/6 probe could be weaponized against the GOP and hinder their goals of winning the 2022 election. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Very striking to watch all this McConnell footage knowing that a few months later he led the push to block a House-passed bill that would've set up a bipartisan commission to investigate Jan. 6. It led to Pelosi & the House creating this select committee. https://t.co/MyyH3U4mNK — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah Matthews: "I was struck by the fact that he chose to begin the video by pushing the lie that there was a stolen election." She "felt a small sense of relief" when he told rioters to "go home" but found it "disturbing" that he told the insurrectionists he loves them. — PolitiTweet.org
