Three important news items, among many in Heather Cox Richardson's daily post.

I think the third item may prove to be the most important of these.

Quote
There is news in the investigation of what happened on January 6 that might lead to later insights. Today, the House Appropriations Committee, which oversees the Capitol Police, heard testimony from acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman. One thing the hearing established was that ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund had requested backup from the National Guard by 12:58 pm on January 6, and had continued to call for the next hour. On Tuesday, the former House sergeant at arms, Paul Irving, insisted he had not received a request for National Guard backup until 1:28.

Pittman also said that 35 officers are being investigated for their behavior on the day of the insurrection. Six have been suspended and had their police powers revoked. The Capitol Police union opposes the investigations, saying they are an attempt to distract from the failures of leadership on January 6.

Also offering hope for future information is news that came from the communications director for Tim Ryan (D-OH), the chair of the committee. Michael Zetts said that security videos of Capitol tours before the insurrection have been turned over to the office of the U.S. Attorney General.

Suggested poll for up top.

Did you receive your vaccine?

Was it difficult to get an appointment?

Did you get the second shot?

Did you get Moderna?

Pfizer?

Etcetera...

I think I squeezed about as much into this poll as I could, though I am interested in hearing issues that may have come up.

Thanks for the idea (and substance) for the poll!

heh - again

Whoopi Goldberg mentioned today about Biden's administration having "a lot of complicated messes to clean up from the previous administration".

What, exactly?

Kid's vying to overthrow Ward as "Sea Lion of the Month."

Yep

It was always going to be winnable, seeing how Hassan won by such a small margin last time out -

but Sununu would be a great candidate.

Still looks good for the Dems for '22, at least in the Senate.

Way too early for predictions on Sununu-Hassan. She beat an incumbent senator to win her seat to begin with and was an equivalently popular governor, herself.

And NH politics these days is way too volatile.

Minimal 5 point win for Sununu

Hassan vs someone else a tossup.

Georgia - and other spots - remains a problem for Republicans

I'll take Hassan vs. the spread, Kid.

Josh-a heads-up, kid is a notoriously bad handicapper, and a welsher.

No news, Banks.

Watch what happens at CPAC. Trump going, Pence staying home is just another example of the widening fissure within the party .


Surely. 

There will be a party battle.

There wil be one nominee to face Biden (or NAME YOUR CANDIDATE).

One from each party.

John Anderson (not to be confused with Jon Anderson) says hello, as do Ross Perot, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, and Gary Johnson.

The stupid comments on international players are probably not the things that will have the longest ramifications for MLB that Mather talked about. Rather, it will be his admission to manipulating service time.

Trump's longtime accounting firm, Mazars USA, said it "remains committed to fulfilling all of our professional and legal obligations."



So, they'll be turning over all their subpoenaed records.

Good.

Law and order always is

Not even remotely.

Japanese internment.

Slaves as property.

So many cases. So little goodness in them.
