Key Takeaways

• Mendelson’s deflection: “I’ve already answered you, sir … I cannot speak to that particular offense” — despite being DC Council Chair and asked about a classification in their own criminal code.
• Crockett’s “one issue” with Biden: “If I had one issue with the Biden-Harris administration, it is the fact they did not move forward and make sure that this man was put where he should’ve been put … I never had a defendant that had 34 convictions for felonies and did not spend one day in jail.”
• Senate efficiency: “On this vote, the Yays are 51 and the Nays are 47 and the nominations on block are confirmed” — 48 Trump nominees confirmed at once.
• Spanberger on sanctuary cities: “I have been quite clear in the fact that I oppose any sort of mandates that require localities to frankly do the work of ICE officials.”
