Why did Pete King just resign from the Financial services committee? He isn't running for re-election this year, could that have something to do with it? Why now and not in January?

Tell me more about Thursday...I'll be in town but have a busy schedule but feel like since I'm there I should do something. It's a joint effort with Indivisible, By the People and a group called Remove. They are meeting every day at noon in the atrium of the Hart building by the giant Calder sculpture. I think the exact plan changes a bit every day and based on what Capitol Police sign off on, but they'll probably silently protest in the atrium for a bit, then visit some offices (McConnell, Graham, Collins, Gardner, etc)

Don't hold your breath for Collins to do the right thing:
Looks like that private lunch with Trump worked.

I have very very mixed feelings about her giving him this kind of platform. I am highly suspicious of his motives. I trust her. But I'm skeptical.

Also, fuck Collin Peterson and his fucking vote. on the one hand, yes, that's frustrating. OTOH, Nancy would care more about him keeping his seat than this one vote. So IDK. I just hope he wasn't a dick about it.

Pelosi made clear that she was seeking a diverse slate of managers wrt gender, ethnicity, and geography.

omg this is so awkward. They're just marching across the Capitol with cameras zoomed in on them. I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face.

Can you imagine being one of those pages right now? Do you think they understand the gravity of what they are watching? byjove were you there during the Clinton impeachment?

But like Nancy emailing the articles would be unsatisfying soooo I think, for something this momentous, it's good that there's a ceremonial method in place. It's just that in the age of live video feed, having literally the entire thing broadcast live feels OTT. But I think it's right.

I was thinking about the pages! They are probably crapping their pants. And they have been there all of like a week, so are still very new. No, I started in Jan 2000. It was stuff of legends though. ETA I think they get that it’s a very big deal, as much as 16/17 year olds can.
