BREAKING: State Rep. @brotherjones_ (D-Tenn.) speaks out after Republicans vote to expel him for participating in protests against gun violence on the House floor.
“Today was a signal that we have lost democracy in Tennessee and that we are on a path towards authoritarianism.”
NEW: Did Donald Trump just admit he didn't win the election?
@chucktodd: "He said '17 points' and then he says, 'all we needed was 16.9.' I went, 'whoa, Donald Trump is admitting he didn't win the election.'"
WATCH: Remembering beloved long-time political journalist, NBC News' Vaughn Ververs, who passed away this weekend.
Vaughn was a mentor to young journalists & a sounding board for colleagues. He was quick with one-liners and equally quick with a kind word. We will miss him.
Vaughn selflessly mentored so many of us in the Hotline & NBC families. His sarcastic jokes & wit could completely turn your day around. I'll never forget him.
"Former Hotline editor Vaughn Ververs, 54, died on Sunday. A longtime fixture of political media, Ververs was a media pioneer beloved by his colleagues, friends, and subjects for his sharp news judgment, skilled editing, and kind leadership," @kirk_bado writes.
. @SenJohnThune stopped believin’ after Don’t Stop Believin’ and left before Any Way You Need It 😢

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah): Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) “should be sitting in the back row and staying quiet.”
Of course that’s your contention. You’re a 1st-year media reporter just out of J-school. You probably just got done watching “Page One” and you’re obsessed with falling print revenue. You’ll be writing about that till next month when you’re convinced digital subs are the future…
