Trump campaign has finally stopped their fundraising emails. They raised more than $200 million after the election with hundreds of pitches to donors to help overturn it.

Kevin McCarthy appealed to Jared Kushner. Lindsey Graham called Ivanka. Kellyanne Conway called an aide at the president's side. All begging him to calm his rioters. But the president was too entranced by the tv. By @AshleyRParker @jdawsey1 @PhilipRucker

New: In a tense AM call w Kevin McCarthy, President Trump today privately — and falsely — blamed "Antifa people" for storming the Capitol... McCarthy told him the riot “was MAGA” and he knew because he was in there, per WH official. https://axios.com/newsletters/axios-sneak-peek-1c44d7d7-d31e-4879-bff1-11965803be69.html?chunk=0&utm_term=twsocialshare#story0… #axiossneakpeek

HHS Sec. Alex Azar won't say if he'd vote to remove Trump: "The rhetoric last week was unacceptable. I'm not going to get into or discuss the 25th Amendment here. I've wrestled with this, I'm committed to see this through in my role as Health Sec. during a pandemic..."

A sea of red MAGA hats and Trump flags, but it was antifa. If he don’t do nothing else, he gonna lie. To your face, no matter what your eyes have seen.

New: House Republican leaders will not whip their colleagues to vote against the impeachment resolution tomorrow, according to leadership aides. They will let members “vote their conscience”, as @RepLizCheney told colleagues. @mkraju reporting

Pompeo gave a speech in which he decried censorship and authoritarianism overseas. When a ⁦@VOANews⁩ reporter tried to question him afterward, the Trump-appointed director demoted her. ⁦@farhip⁩ washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…

Punchbowl News: "House Republicans are bracing for between ten and 20 of their GOP colleagues to vote to impeach Donald Trump — a hugely embarrassing rebuke for the president at the end of his tumultuous term."

What’s the deal though?

I’ll resign if you press no charges against me?

Now that I’ve thought about it. If he resigns, there’s a small chance Pence might throw him some pardons. That has to be better than being tossed out as a normal civilian with no protection at all.

That's enough. After y'all vote No, see y'all in 2022

Pence called it political suicide before. I wonder if he's had a change of heart now that they want to kill him.

I heard Pence was on some “All that I done did for this dude, and this is how he treat me “ the other day. Trump done burnt up all the bridges.

A day before the riot, an FBI office in Virginia issued an explicit internal warning that extremists were preparing to travel to D.C. to commit "war," according to an internal document that contradicts claims there was no indication of looming violence. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
