Time flies when you're having fun. 45 years ago today in 1980, my dad dropped me off at the U.S. Capitol for my first job in the halls of Congress. There is no better place to work as a reporter. (Newsletter link in bio.)

When House Republicans released some of the Jan. 6 security tapes, they probably didn't imagine the videos would show the GOP's fake elector scheme in action. Five years ago today, that plot to keep Trump in power was underway on Capitol Hill.

5 years ago at this hour, two Trump allies brought fake elector documents to Capitol Hill, giving them to aides for Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA. Those aides tried to get the papers to Vice President Pence. It was all part of a GOP plot to keep Trump in power. https://t.co/MhpdHkYdGy

The Office of Congressional Ethics review says that Rep. Mike Collins R-GA has repeatedly refused to answer questions about this staff hire. The report also reveals that there was a separate (but parallel) OCE inquiry directed at Collins himself.
A new ethics report about the office of Rep. Mike Collins R-GA says his Chief of Staff Brandon Phillips paid an intern for little office work - the intern was Phillips' girlfriend. It was described as a 'preexisting personal romantic relationship.' https://t.co/lswgGmVWua

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says Sen. Mark Kelly D-AZ will lose retirement pay for telling servicemembers not to obey illegal orders
Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly — and five other members of Congress — released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he

Any word yet on how the U.S. is running Venezuela?
Trump on Venezuela: "We are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition. And it has to be judicious - because that's what we're all about."

AG and others legally characterize attack in Venezuela as “arrest with military support.” Meanwhile Trump announces he’s taken over the country and will run it until he finds someone suitable to replace him. Added bonus: says American oil companies will get to exploit the oil.

MTG registers her concerns about the Maduro operation.

Second unjustified war in my life time. This war is illegal, it’s embarrassing that we went from the world cop to the world bully in less than one year. There is no reason for us to be at war with Venezuela.
