Pete Welch is on the House floor talking about how he looked to and feared for the USCP officers on January 6 as they put themselves between the violent mob and the members of congress
It's very well said and it's making me emotional

My God.
Dean Phillips told Democrats to come with him to the Republican side of the House chamber in hopes of blending in and being spared,
Says that was a "lightning bolt moment" that showed him his white privilege in a way he had never grasped.
He was crying as he said this and said that this was not a speech, but an apology to people of color for not truly getting it.

Intellectually, I know this. But hearing it in their voices hits hard every time.

I just looked at Dean's twitter. He defends Rep Ilhan and rejects the comparison between MTG and her comments. But this. This made me belly laugh.

I really appreciate them using this platform to tell anyone living with trauma, of any kind, that it's good to talk, it's good to get help, and that burying your trauma will not help it.
Mark Takano is speaking extensively about how staffers and Hill employees can get help.

So, just to be completely fair, the special dispensation for floor control tonight was only for one hour. The one minute GOP floor speeches before and afterward were just regular floor speeches. So the timing wasn't a cute look, for sure, but it wasn't like they used designated insurrection reflection time to talk about oil pipelines. It wasn't great but it wasn't as callous as it probably looked.

I definitely wouldn't fault anyone who thought they were just being jerks after the recent displays on the House floor

I thought about that after I posted and turned it off and went to work out. I realized it was probably a planned topic change. Ugh.

I mean they moved to adjourn prior to the mtg debate so one would think they were anxious to go home.

That's all they have left - changing the subject in hopes it will deflect and distract. Everytime they go off topic they should be interrupted and reminded what the topic is supposed to be about and if they have nothing to say on topic they lose their turn. Like when kindergarteners go around circle time to sat something nice about a friend or talk about something that is the color blue and are redirected by the teacher or lose their turn.

Gqp is gonna do the same dodge topic, change subject anyways. Its what they do over and over again. I've noticed that. It really drives me crazy. I wish there could be like...a neutral mediator that's like "This is off topic, please bring it back in or yield your time" although I'm sure that's like, not the best idea in all reality. I just personally, for me, have a hard time when people stray off topic.

Sometimes committee chairs will try to reign it in if it goes off the rails but usually they just treat them like 2 year olds and let them wear themselves out.
