    House Speaker Mike Johnson has thwarted the installation of a plaque, approved by Congress, honoring officers who protected the Capitol. It is vital that partisans aren’t allowed to whitewash history simply because it makes some people uncomfortable. On Monday, Donald Trump will visit the scene of a crime, laying his hand on a Bible and vowing to preserve and protect the Constitution as he swears a formal oath to become the nation’s 47th president.The bloodstains of the Jan. 6 insurrection have long ago washed away. The shattered windows of the Capitol are mended, the broken doors replaced. You’d never know...

    Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that the proposed Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, would be “unconstitutional and illegal.” Host Jim Acosta said, “I want to ask you about something that is coming into your wheelhouse. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy apparently will be up on Capitol Hill talking about their ideas for this thing that they’re calling DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, which is a bit of a misnomer because it won’t be a part of the federal government, apparently but Congress controls the purse strings. What are your...

    Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that former President Donald Trump and Republicans are telling voters lies. Lofgren said, “I look at many of my colleagues, actually the majority of the Republicans, they are not speaking out in the House. They saw what happened to Adam and Liz when they did. So you have got a divided country really. I mean, there is partisanship. Republicans are telling their voters lies, and the Republican voters, as Republicans, want to believe the Republican leaders.”

    Lofgren: "He’s been very open about what he intends to do, and that’s retribution. He, himself, said last December he intends to terminate parts of the Constitution. He didn’t say which parts. Be didn’t say which parts but apparently, the Court is going to give him a wide range to terminate whatever he wants. You know, he summoned a mob to Washington knowing they were armed. He sent them to the Capitol to try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. If that’s OK, we’ve got a problem in this country. And certainly, in the debate the other night, he...

    Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that the Supreme Court acted like “partisan hacks” during the oral arguments on Donald Trump’s claim that he is immune from prosecution. Host Jake Tapper said, “Justices signaled today that they were skeptical of Trump’s claim that he had complete immunity for anything he did that was an official act. But they also pushed back on how the special counsel framed the case. How likely do you think it is that the court’s going to try to reach a middle ground ruling that might push this trial beyond November’s election,...

    Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been “too deferential” when dealing with former President Donald Trump. When asked about House Republicans criticism of FBI Director Christopher Wray during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Lofgren said, “It’s meant to undercut the rule of law and really our system of government. The Republicans are more interested in what they consider a win than protecting the Constitution and civil order. It’s very distressing.”

    Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that she believed former President Donald Trump “knew he lost” the 2020 election and tried a variety of ways to stay in power. Lofgren said, “Obviously what happened after this tumultuous meeting, the ex-president issued his now famous tweet, ‘Come on January 6, it will be wild.’ That was summoning the mob. We heard from many of the rioters, that they felt the president had asked them personally to come to Washington. That was the final effort that the president was able to make to stop the election from being...

    Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) said former President Trump’s rhetoric regarding his possible indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is “more overt and blatant” than his language leading up to Jan. 6. “Well, I think it’s a concern, the rhetoric that he’s using today is not dissimilar to the type of rhetoric he used prior to January 6. In fact, in some ways, it’s more overt and blatant than the events leading up to January 6,” Lofgren told CNN’s Jim Acosta on Sunday. Lofgren, who served on the Jan. 6 House select committee, noted that Trump posted a photo of...

    Democratic California Rep. Zoe Lofgren earmarked $2 million in federal taxpayer money for the renovation and relocation of a Planned Parenthood clinic in the omnibus spending bill currently working its way through Congress, according to analysis of the federal government’s budget by Open the Books. Members of Congress sometimes agree to vote for a spending bill under the condition that it includes funding for an unrelated cause or project they’re interested in in a process known as earmarking. The omnibus bill for the federal government’s 2023 budget includes $2 million for a Planned Parenthood clinic at the request of Lofgren,...

    Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), two members of the Jan. 6 House panel, introduced a bill Monday to reform the Electoral College Act, offering a number of provisions to protect elections from interference by state and federal lawmakers. The Presidential Election Reform Act (PERA) would make clear that the role of the vice president in presiding over the counting of electoral votes is purely “ministerial.” It also takes aim at potential action from the lawmakers’ colleagues to object to states’ electoral slates, requiring that a third of the members from both chambers must object to the certification,...

    Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate “could potentially overlap” with the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Burnett said, “I want to ask you the point about dovetailing possibly at what we are seeing. What we just saw in Mar-a-Lago and what you are working on with the January 6 committee. Last night, I spoke to Ty Cobb, the former White House lawyer. He told me very clearly that he does not think that the Mar-a- Lago is ultimately about classified...

    Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), a member of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, said Sunday that deleted Secret Service texts sent the day before and day of the insurrection will be turned over to the panel by Tuesday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleges that messages from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021 were erased as part of a planned system migration. “You can imagine how shocked we were to get the letter from the [DHS] Inspector General saying that he had been trying to get this information and that they had,...

    A member of the Jan. 6 committee indicated former White House counsel Pat Cipollone was not directly asked to corroborate or respond to Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony that he had advised former President Donald Trump against going to the Capitol on Jan. 6. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said on Sunday that Capitol riot investigators do not call witnesses to "corroborate other witnesses" but stressed that Cipollone provided testimony that "does not dispute" what Hutchinson told the committee.

Watch: “Congresswoman, I understand there is a bit of a change in the schedule pertaining to tomorrow’s hearing,” Mika Brzezinski said on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe.’ “Do you know anything about when it will be and what’s going on?” “I think we’re just firming up,” Lofgren claimed. “There’s no a big deal, but I’ll tell you the putting together the video and exhibits is an exhausting exercise for our very small, you...

    Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the Houde Select Committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 had accumulated a “significant amount of very telling evidence.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “275 witnesses, I mean, you guys haven’t subpoenaed people who don’t know anything. You’ve subpoenaed the people who were closest to the ex-president, the people who ran his campaign, and the people who gathered the insurrectionists in Washington. Marc Short is a perfect example. We looked up, and we remember that he was — Trump was so mad at him, he was banned...

    Well duh, said Zoe, can you 'splain that to me again? With pictures?How do you get rid of a problem? Here's an example, rather raw, so skip it if you have tender sensibilities. When I was in college, I was told this story by a young man who was a Philadelphia Main Liner. For those who don't know, the Main Line towns in Philly were premier homes of aristocratic U.S. bluebloods, bastions of old money, or as old as it is in the United States. This young man was so aristocratic that he actually had three last names, so family...

    The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives is due to vote on two immigration bills that would provide a path to citizenship for millions living illegally in the United States, including farmworkers and younger immigrants known as “Dreamers.” -snip- The first immigration bill expected in the House this week would offer an eventual path to citizenship to “Dreamers,” those immigrants living in the United States illegally after entering as children. It would also help recipients of temporary migration protections that allow immigrants from several disaster- or conflict-hit countries to live temporarily in the United States. The measure, sponsored by Representative Lucille Roybal-Allard,...
