For Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, it seems that “unity” is about rolling up more and more power in the Executive Branch. Say goodbye to hearings, markups, and votes by elected officials on changes/reforms. It’s a dangerous veer for a representative republic.

The National Guard deployed to the Capitol deserves the best accommodations possible, as well as safe/sanitary conditions.

33 @HouseGOP colleagues & I are demanding Guardsmen still in DC receive better treatment.

We volunteer our offices to be used if needed!

All violence is unacceptable violence. Why wouldn’t the administration condemn violence against private property, including the Democratic Party of Oregon? “Monitoring” such violence is soft-soaping what’s been going on for months. It’s wrong no matter who is behind it.

Jen Psaki is asked about the ongoing violence in Portland and Seattle:

"I haven’t spoken with him specifically about those events but it’s something our national security team, homeland security adviser is closely monitoring."
