- Replying to @HouseInSessionA bit of bathroom vigilantism? I later asked Boebert what this was all about, noting I had heard her complain there was "a guy" in there. To her credit, she acknowledged it was a mistake. "There was a rumor there was, but it wasn't true," she told me.
- The House Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack has abruptly decided to extend its work/existence beyond September and could keep operating beyond this fall's congressional elections, the panel's chairman says. 1/2
- Replying to @HouseInSessionWho would dare leave this scene now? Not me. Mace is author of the resolution prohibiting transgender women in the chamber from using the women’s restroom. But alas, just seconds after this duo entered the bathroom, they come back out -- and went back quietly to the floor. 3/4
- Replying to @HouseInSessionIntrigued, I stuck around to see who would emerge from the bathroom...and saw just 4 other people leave, all women. Within minutes, however, Boebert was storming back from the House floor into the restroom, -- reinforced by Rep. Nancy Mace in tow ...2/4

- Replying to @HouseInSession“It is also imperative that Republican Party leaders address Santos’s conduct and publicly state whether they believe he is fit to join their caucus. Silence is complicity and would only confirm that Santos represents the core of today’s Republican Party.”
- FBI Deputy Director McCabe sscheduled to testify Tuesday to House Intelligence -- but will he? "If McCabe is still there," says one panel Republican. And another, Gowdy, tells FoxNews he'd a"be a little bit surprised if he is still an employee of the FBI this time next week."
- Replying to @HouseInSessionThompson said he could not yet describe any key findings or what, even generally, this new information shows about that day. “We've got a number of staffers going through it all right now,” he said. “It’s a work in progress.” 3/5
