At news conference, Sen. Mitch #McConnell (R-KY) comment on Sen. #KatieBritt (R-AL) response to State of the Union: "We were proud of Senator Britt. Thought she did a great job. I have zero criticism of her performance. I thought it was really outstanding"

#Hur makes a significant factual error. He says Dana Remus was President Obama's White House counsel. She was, in fact, President #Biden's counsel.
Via Brian Tyler Cohen:
A video has been unearthed showing Trump-appointed prosecutor Robert #Hur claiming that Bush v. Gore happened in “2001” or “2002.”
It happened in 2000.
By his own logic, he must have dementia.
Hours before the #Uvalde City Council was expected to reject a report clearing local police officers of wrongdoing during the Robb Elementary School massacre, the city’s police chief abruptly announced he is quitting.

“Republican Rep. Ken Buck of #Colorado, a hardline conservative who has clashed with his own party at times, said Tuesday that he will leave Congress before the end of his term.
“Today, I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week,” Buck said…departure from the House will shake up the chamber’s partisan breakdown, where Republicans control only a very narrow majority”
See you later.

I think #Biden’s State of the Union address last week and #Hur’s immolation today will go down in political history as Reagan’s “I am not going to exploit … my opponent’s youth and experience” moment … only on steroids.

Swalwell: You said to Pres #Biden, “u appear to have a photographic understanding & recall.” Did you say that?
Hur: Those words do appear in the transcript
Swalwell: Never appeared in your report
Hur: It does not appear in my report
