Welcome to Thursday, July 22nd, rotary and push-button...

House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has pulled all five Republicans from the Capitol attack panel after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rejected two.

In a letter, Pelosi said she was denying the selections of Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), who was slated to serve as the panel’s top GOP member, and Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-OH):

“With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee. The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision.”

McCarthy released a statement that called Pelosi’s “unprecedented” move an “egregious abuse of power."

Banks and Jordan are both outspoken Trump allies who voted against certifying Joe Biden’s election victory.

Do you agree or disagree with Pelosi’s decision?

Senate GOP Block Initial Debate on Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework

The Senate on Wednesday failed to advance a motion that would’ve started the initial debate on the bipartisan infrastructure framework, as Republicans balked at starting the process while negotiations over outstanding issues. 

The vote initially failed 50-50 along party-lines ― well short of the 60 needed for debate to begin ― but closed at 49-51 after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) changed his vote from “yea” to “nay” so that he can bring the motion up for another vote at a later date.

Senate rules require that the leader is on the prevailing side to reconsider a failed vote.

Should the bipartisan group of senators keep working on their infrastructure package?
