Capitol is in lockdown, House is in recess, and a Capitol Police officer is briefing members now and telling members not to try to leave the chamber. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Members are shouting to "lock the doors." There's some confusion because there's a door that has a plexiglassed area for members who are quarantining and police couldn't get to it to lock it down. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Capitol Police are running to every door in the House gallery and locking it. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Annnnnd they're locking the doors to the House chamber right now. We are in lockdown. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), who insists she will open-carry in DC, starts by saying she's not here to challenge anyone to a duel like Alexander Hamilton or Aaron Burr. My "Not involved in human trafficking" shirt has people asking questions already answered by my shirt. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) starts by thanking all of his colleagues for the tenderness he's received over the last two weeks after his 25-year-old son died. A standing ovation from both sides of the aisle. Likely the only time you'll see it today. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@Garagely1 Yea, that is against the rules and also known as “not wearing a mask.” — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff: "We stand in a House that was once the place of giants. Have we become so small?" A couple of groans from the Republican side. Probably would've been more if they were listening to him. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
It's actually quite striking how many Republicans are staring at their phones as Adam Schiff speaks. Never seen it this bad, actually. I'd say about 80-90% of them are not paying attention at all to him and are instead looking at their phones. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Jim Jordan starts his argument by saying the American people "instinctively" know something was up with this election. Reminder: Jim Jordan went to law school. The best argument he can make is that some people *think* something is fishy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) begins her rebuttal to Scalise: "This day marks a crossroads for American democracy." — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Scalise speaking with a billboard of Article II, Section I behind him. Extremely Constitution. Much Founders. Many Patriot. — PolitiTweet.org

As Pelosi notes that members are required to wear masks on the House floor, a couple Republicans start shouting "Gwen Moore." Moore was on the House floor on Sunday for the speaker vote despite testing positive on Dec. 28 and not having tested negative at that time. — PolitiTweet.org

Law and Order and stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Cruz is giving elbow bumps and congratulatory pats for forcing a vote in both chambers. Now the House and Senate go back and we'll have a vote on certifying Arizona. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Ted Cruz stands up to note that the objection is in writing and signed by a Senator. A bunch of Republicans start applauding, but none harder or more ostentatiously than freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.). She really had a flourish for clapping. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
And here we go. Our first objection of the day, for Arizona, brought by Arizona Republican Rep. Paul Gosar. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Early indications here are that Pence plans to play this by the book. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), who's not wearing a mask, makes a parliamentary inquiry as to how members would be able to object if only 11 members are allowed on the floor. Pence shuts him down and says debate is not allowed. Already some confusion on the floor among Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
So Republicans are just going to ignore that, contrary to an agreement between Pelosi and McCarthy. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Pelosi begins by noting that each side is only entitled to 11 members on the floor. (There are a number of Democrats in the gallery.) I see about 100 Republicans on the floor. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
This is my third time being in the chamber for the Electoral College certification. It always amazes me that they actually bring the votes in with these wooden boxes that look like treasure chests. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar have showed up to another GOP lectern with a large box of papers. Look, folks, they have evidence. Have to overturn the will of the people. Simply no choice. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Jim Jordan is already here — with a collection of Republicans like Matt Gaetz, Mike Johnson, Mike Kelly, Buddy Carter, and Louie Gohmert — seated near the GOP lectern. Looks like he may be leading the objections. Surely a proud day for him as he seeks to undo millions of votes. — PolitiTweet.org
