Being a congressional intern can be a starting point for a career in politics. But for students who came to DC this fall to work on Capitol Hill, those internships are on pause until the government reopens. w/ @justinjpapp1

For House interns who arrived in the fall, it’s been a strange semester, to say the least. Congressional offices are feeling it too.

Not talked about enough…since 1999, UConn has won six National Championships under three different head coaches. During that same time period, Duke, UNC and Florida won three each, and Kansas won two. Remarkable.

Trump was President on Jan 6, 2021
THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT (TS: 12 Oct 00:38 ET)

Just asked Speaker Johnson for latest on White House layoffs plans for agencies: He said: “I honesty don’t know. I talked to the president yesterday, but we didn't get into the details of it, and we're awaiting further details from OMB. So, I really don’t know the status of it.”

No, you’re not seeing ghosts. House Democrats (and a few Republicans) are still here this week. Kind of. w/ @justinjpapp1

With no action on the floor or in committees, they’re passing the time in the shutdown with pressers, meetings and even a few skirmishes.

As the deadline for funding the government approached and then passed, a messaging war ensued. As both political sides now attempt to pin the blame of the shutdown on their opponents, questions about inflammatory rhetoric and safety seem like an afterthought.

As the shutdown continues, visitors hoping to go inside of the Capitol have been showing up for tours, only to get turned away. Latest in @rollcall:

The Capitol Visitor Center and Library of Congress are shuttered during the funding stalemate. A sign outside says it all: “closed.”

They keep Congress running. The shutdown plunged them into uncertainty. https://t.co/os35WPzc9M

This story is being wildly misrepresented — these were not undercover agents embedded in the crowd. They were part of the multi-agency law enforcement response *after* the Capitol was attacked, as the documents themselves make clear.

I know fact checking Trump in realtime is a fool’s errand, but no, Trump can’t just change the mayor of D.C. Under no law is that a power he has. Congress could repeal home rule, but the president can’t.
Trump: We have more power in D.C., I can change the mayor, if I want, do whatever I want
