Conscience not her fealty to trump. 60 out of that number. One vote was present. We have manu raju on capitol hill. An historic vote. There was a lot of talk. The feel of it was as you were reporting earlier that cheney might lose. She went behind the scenes for several weeks in the aftermath of the vote to impeach donald trump, talking to members trying to get them on their side explaining her vote. It appears to have paid off. She was listening to the concerns and did not back away from her vote. In fact today she said she does not regret voting to impeach donald trump. She made that clear to her conference but there were an outspoken contingent of members who came after her very aggressively through the course of this more than fourhour closed door meeting. At the end of the day the members decided it is more important to unite at this moment than engage themselves in a divisive leadership fight and the ouster of the highest ranking republican woman in leadership. Now, at the same t
There are significant Republican House members that are very angry Marjorie Taylorgreene is part of their party and is going to still represent constituents under the republican banner for sometime to come. Lets not forget we are only talking about the house tonight. There is a whole flock of Senate Republicans that are have come out and very strongly denounced her role, said she should be removed from committees and so far as to say she should not be part of the Republican Party. This is a divide that maybe tonight theyre showing somewhat of a unified force. But this is a lingering problem that is going to continue to exist as republicans try and forge their way through this process. A lot of it comes down to winning elections, right . It tends to be that you can win an election as a primary candidate when you run close to president donald trump. We are now starting to see a consistent pattern outside of those strong Republican House districts that are drawn in a way that have more Re

Before anybody trying to make it about something else, remember this remember what you are seeing. We have never seen anything like it. It is the worst, period. And they are our worst, period.

Honor, ra a reminder of the insurrection that caused his death on the 6th of january. The United States senators whose lives and staffers lives he died protecting is being asked to show bravery, as well. House Impeachment Managers and the ex president s legal team today presented their briefs in next weeks Impeachment Trial and the insurrection at the heart of that trial is not ancient history. They will be weighing decisions with the seat of American Democracy and their workplace still showing the scars from an attack unlike any weve seen in our lives. The managers case is straightforward. They plan to use video of the president s rally leading up to this and comments by his violent supporters to show he instigated the attack and plan to rebut the notion a president cannot be tried after leaving office.
