WASHINGTON - Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday that House impeachment managers were preparing to prosecute President Trump in the Senate, but she refused to offer a timeline for when they would move forward with a never-before-attempted trial of a former president. At a news conference two days after the House impeached Mr. Trump in a bipartisan vote, Ms. Pelosi made clear that her first priority was ensuring the security of the Capitol and lawmakers before President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s inauguration on Wednesday. But growing emotional at times as she recounted seeing the image of a rioter barging through...

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) said in a statement Thursday that the Senate acted “appropriately” in impeaching President Donald Trump. Murkowski, who is up for reelection in 2022, released a statement after the House voted to impeach the 45th president. She said that the president “perpetrated false rhetoric that the election was stolen and rigged.”

In 2019, “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah, 36, swore he’d never cohabitate with a lover — but he’s just invested $27.5 million in a Bel Air mansion for him and his girlfriend, 40-year-old “Titans” actress Minka Kelly. The sleek, 11,000-square-foot mansion at 14930 Corona Del Mar has six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms, all with views of the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, according to a Wall Street Journal report in September, when the house was still for sale.

President Donald Trump will wield his fortune and name to help Republicans flip the House of Representatives during the next nationwide election, an adviser said on Jan. 14. “President Trump is going to make sure we get the House back in 2022,” Jason Miller, a Trump campaign adviser, said. “He’s got a ton of money. He’s the biggest name. He’s going to get that done.” Miller was speaking on Steve Bannon’s “War Room.” Bannon is a former Trump strategist. Trump’s plans after leaving office, which he’s scheduled to do next week, are unclear. He has posited starting a company to...

Rep. Tom McClintock: "The Democrats have won everything in sight -- the House, the Senate, and the presidency. In a republic that calls for magnanimity by the victors, only in a banana republic does it call for vengeance." Video... [4:33]

**SNIP** Gohmert has no intention of voting to impeach the president and used his time at the microphone to throw Pelosi's own words back at her. The Texas Republican pointed to a comment Pelosi made in 2018, when she wondered why there weren't "uprisings all over the county" over migrant children being separated from their parents and an August MSNBC interview when she called allies of the president "enemies of the state." "From our side, we didn't take those to be impeachable because we didn't believe she surely meant that but by the Democrats taking this action, you're telling me,...

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) said he is looking at ways for Congress to possibly censure Majorie Taylor-Greene over her “depraved” conspiracy theories... Berman was “shocked” that Taylor-Greene still has a Twitter account with all of her conspiracy theories, and Crow said she’s one of several people in Congress who are “morally bankrupt, depraved, frankly dangerous individuals.” “We’re looking at our options within the House as to how we stop this,” Crow said. “And whether this is an expulsion proceeding, a censure, we can’t let this stand...

Wyoming's Liz Cheney, the third-ranking GOP leader in the House, announced in a statement today that she will vote to impeach President Trump, saying that he "summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack." "There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution," she said in the statement.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers will now be required to walk through metal detectors before entering the House of Representatives chamber in the wake of the Capitol riots. The acting Sergeant At Arms announced on Tuesday afternoon that magnetometers had been placed at selected entrances to the chamber and reminded lawmakers that firearms were forbidden.

Flirtation with thermonuclear heat is ill-inclined to be in the nation's better interest. I say this in light of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement on Friday that she has spoken "to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike." A spokesperson for Milley says that the chairman simply briefed Pelosi on the nuclear command authority. This is very silly stuff from Pelosi. In fact, it's dangerous. Pelosi should know far better than to make these...

The path to a second impeachment of President Trump following the Capitol riots of his supporters has run into a roadblock:.... The Democrats' schedule shows the chamber off through Inauguration Day. What’s more, that’s followed on Jan. 18 with Martin Luther King Jr. Day and eventually the inauguration on Jan. 20. Ditto for the Senate. Officials said that there has been no change in the schedule.

Anybody having trouble getting on the House of Reps website? Hopefully they're just all flooded with pissed-off patriots.

The chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security has called for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the FBI to ban those involved in Wednesday's insurrection that breached the U.S. Capitol building from flying on airplanes... ..."This should include all individuals identified as having entered the Capitol building—an intrusion which threatened the safety of Members of Congress and staff and served as an attack on our Nation."

They folded on Trump like a cheap suit. Every one of those congressmen/women and Senators KNOW that the election was rigged.

Donald Trump unleashed a mob on Capitol Hill...Nancy Pelosi should call an emergency session of the House tonight and impeach the president, and Mitch McConnell should convene the Senate tomorrow and call a vote to remove Trump from the presidency. [Zeestephen thought you should know what the Neo-Cons at Commentary magazine are saying.]

Protesters stormed Capitol Hill Wednesday to protest the results of the 2020 presidential election and the Joint Session of Congress to certify the electoral results. Photographers captured the pandemonium in the House and Senate chambers as protesters swarmed into the building and clashed with Capitol Hill police.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) reacted to the dismissal of his lawsuit against Vice President Pence on Saturday, telling Newsmax that a court's refusal to force Pence to overturn the presidential election results essentially served as a call to Americans to incite violence in the streets. "The bottom line is the court is saying, 'We're not going to touch this. You have no remedy,'" Gohmert told Newsmax. "Essentially, the ruling would be 'You have to go to the streets and be as violent as antifa, BLM,'" he added. Gohmert was referring to protests that at times became violent over the summer...

@ChadPergram From colleague Caroline McKee. There is an area encased by Plexiglas in the House Gallery (Gallery 4) where members who have recently been exposed to COVID-19 may vote. Mbrs must be here to vote in person. No remote voting.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) unveiled the rules for the 117th Congress on Friday, which contain “future-focused” proposals, including the elimination of gendered terms, such as “father, mother, son, and daughter.”

@mtgreeneeFor 4 strait years, the Democrats have been actively engaged in a coup to overthrow the people and @realDonaldTrump Their army exist of lawyers & lawsuits, baseless allegations & investigations, smears 24/7 by the media, the deep state, and paid terrorists Antifa/BLM.
