Senate Blocks Democrats Conspiracy Theory January 6 Commission.

Senate Republicans on Friday blocked advancing a House-passed bill that would form a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

Senators voted 54-35 on the measure, falling short of the 60-vote threshold to avoid a filibuster.

Republican Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Neb.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine), Bill Cassidy (La.), and Rob Portman (Ohio) joined all Democrats in voting on the measure. Other than Portman, the six GOP senators all voted to convict former President Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial. Republican Sens. Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Richard Burr (N.C.), who voted to convict Trump during the trial, did not cast votes in favor of the Jan. 6 commission.

The vote came just a day after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), on the Senate floor, urged his caucus not to support the legislation and suggested it was merely a partisan effort from Democrats.

MAGA GOP Congressional Reps Rallying America. TRUMPESQUE: Thousands Rally in Arizona as Gaetz, Greene Lead National Tour Blasting Biden and Destructive Democrats.

MESA, Arizona – At least 3,000 America First activists flocked to the Delta by Marriott Mesa on Friday afternoon to witness the second stop in a national rally tour featuring the congressional gadflies Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene. 

Following on from the success of their inaugural event at The Villages – The Florida, the pair took their show to the battleground of the Arizona election audit: Maricopa County.

The pair had plenty to say on the matter, diving into detail on election integrity and open border migration both causing ruination in the Copper State.

But in reality, despite barnstorming warm-up acts from local Congressmen Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs, it was the crowd that was the story.

GOP Ousts Anti Trump Party Leader. Former President Donald Trump celebrated the news Wednesday that House Republicans had ousted Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from Republican leadership.

“Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being,” Trump wrote in a statement issued after Cheney was voted out. “I watched her yesterday and realized how bad she is for the Republican Party. She has no personality or anything good having to do with politics or our Country.”

Cheney took the House floor Tuesday evening to defend her repeated unprompted criticism of Trump.

“I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our democracy,” she said.

But Trump dismissed Cheney as a political thorn in the side of the party working to undermine the Republican party.
