Just to recap the events here:. -A married Republican congressman has been having an affair for a year.-That woman called police and told them he assaulted her and allowed them to listen as he "instructed her to lie" about her injuries' origin.-Upon police arrival, she showed.
Update: D.C. police said they sent an arrest warrant on Rep. Cory Mills to the U.S. attorney’s office on Friday. It has not been signed, and police said the case was sent back to them for further investigation. Sources said it may never result in charges.

One data point on why it takes a member of Congress for members of Congress to get something like this: . Katie Porter is, per public reports, one of four single parents in Congress (0.75%) . The number of single parents in the US, per Census data: 10.8M/63.1M (17%).
NEW: After Rep. Katie Porter gave emotional speech to fellow Dems about skyrocketing grocery bills, she said it felt like the first time it sank in with some colleagues . One told her it's not coming up in polls. Her response: “You don’t know what to ask”.
