“They’re really worried,” McCarthy said. “Trump’s not eating, so they asked me to come see him.”

CNN has the first look at Liz Cheney's forthcoming book "Oath and Honor." Here are a few experts:

-Cheney recounts the moment she first found out that McCarthy, fearing he had lost his ability to fundraise, secretly went to visit Trump at Mar-a-Lago just three weeks after the Jan. 6 attack. At first, Cheney thought the photo of the two men smiling and shaking hands was fake. But she was incredulous at McCarthy’s defense of his visit. He claimed Trump’s staff summoned him.

“Mar-a-Lago? What the hell, Kevin?” Cheney asked.

“They’re really worried,” McCarthy said. “Trump’s not eating, so they asked me to come see him.”

“What? You went to Mar-a-Lago because Trump’s not eating?” Cheney responded.

“Yeah, he’s really depressed,” McCarthy said.
-------------------------------------------------
-Cheney recounts how a GOP colleague, who she does not name, told her he knew what Trump had done was impeachable, but he was afraid that voting to impeach would put his wife and new baby in danger.

“I absolutely understood his fear,” Cheney writes. “But I also thought, ‘Perhaps you need to be in another job.’”

-----------------------------------------------------
Cheney reveals that Mitch McConnel told her he'd vote to impeach Trump, before he changed his mind: "by the time the Senate impeachment trial began in February 2021, “I was growing concerned that Mitch McConnell had lost his earlier resolve,” Cheney writes.

McConnell later changed course, apparently, Cheney writes, because he believed Trump would just fade away after 2020.

“Leader McConnell, who had made a career out of savvy political calculation and behind-the-scenes maneuvering, got this one wrong,” Cheney writes.

---------------------------------------------
-In her book, Cheney slams the GOP for enabling Trump:
"So strong is the lure of power that men and women who had once seemed reasonable and responsible were suddenly willing to violate their oath to the Constitution out of political expediency and loyalty to Donald Trump,” Cheney writes.

It has been 9 months since we first filed the original expulsion papers against George Santos. Republicans voted to save him.

Now, we are forcing a second vote this week and we are going to expel him. Time’s up.

“‘Jim Jordan approached me,’ Cheney writes. ‘“We need to get the ladies off the aisle,” he said and put out his hand. “Let me help you.”’ ‘I swatted his hand away. “Get away from me. You f—ing did this,”’ Cheney says she responded.”

Federal prosecutors will seek 3 years in prison on Thursday for Brandon Fellows, a New York tree cutter and chimney repairman who represented himself (disastrously) at trial.

He's already received an additional 5 months for contempt of court. https://t.co/boMX87UKXf

Elon tells you Pizzagate is real and this photo is fake

Trump’s legal team unsuccessfully made this kind of motion, seeking what’s known as a directed verdict, twice before after Michael Cohen’s testimony.

Chris Kise advanced a similar longshot bid after a Deutsche managing director’s testimony. 🔽

Chris Christie on Trump:

“He can't even vote for himself. If convicted in April or May, which I expect he will be, he will not be able to vote for himself in November.

That’s who we’re going to put on the ballot?”

This 15-foot-high balloon of George Santos was seen tumbling around Capitol Hill ahead of the likely third vote by the House to expel him. It was paid for by @MoveOn. 🤣🤣

[Palmer Report @PalmerReport]

One of the best things that could happen right now would be if George Santos is expelled this week and the Democrats win the resulting special election. It would hamper the media’s ability to keep yelling “Biden and the Democrats are doomed in 2024.”

President Carter said, "Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished. She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me."

"Dad, you took the same Oath as I did...it was an Oath to support and defend the Constitution"

This was said to Mike Pence by his Son who is a Marine.

Pence told Special Counsel Jack Smith that he was not going to attend the certification because he didn't 'want to hurt his friend' but his son said the above and changed his mind.

Dear Donald, the Pence Bus just went Beep Beep.
