Some Regular Order would be nice. Some of the stories sound like stories from when my daughter was in middle school.
I was curious where the safe and secret place was 9 miles away……. According to an account from Pleasanton (taken 34 years later), it was a vacant gristmill on the Virginia side of the Potomac. He later moved them to a cellar of an abandoned house in Leesburg.
I guess I need a Civics refresher. How can the Senate propose a funding bill? I thought all spending/budget bills had to originate in the House. (And even if the Senate passes such a bill, why would we expect the House to do anything with it?)
"blasted the Pentagon for repeatedly slow-walking ..... they sent nobody to help my men .... faulted lapses in intelligence warnings from the FBI and other federal agencies .... "
Somewhere in there is the truth - that whomever was at the top of this wanted the Capitol to be attacked and Trump to be re-installed as "President". Good luck untangling that one.

Is McCarthy the weakest Speaker ever?
Yesterday's Times has a detailed piece about Ray Epps.
One line that attracted me was this:
"The Justice Department continues to file Jan. 6 cases almost daily and could ultimately bring charges against several hundred more defendants."
The wheels turn slowly. The Justice Department followup is still in progress. .
