...how much sleep Joe Biden needs.  Whatever happened to that?

.⁦@GOPLeader⁩ McCarthy says he won’t support the 1/6 commission legislation. Cites “the political misdirections that have marred this process,” the “duplicative and potentially counterproductive nature of this effort,” and narrow scope of the commission pic.twitter.com/XPsP3rzTj2

Larger issue w Katko on 1/6 commission - or Scott and Bass on policing + Capito on infrastructure- is that you can’t recruit and retain good members if they not truly empowered. You can be assured that other members will see this, find it demoralizing

It’s also short sighted in the sense that Senate Republicans were getting ready to kill this commission either way. House Rs could’ve just taken a pass on it without @GOPLeader saying anything and it probably would’ve gone away

No, not sure what the play is, here.  Seems more like “inside the tent pissing in” than anything else, and the piss is coming from the top down.
