The nomination of Neera Tanden to head the powerful Office of Management and Budget appears increasingly imperiled, with Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Mitt Romney announcing on Monday that they would vote against the nominee.

Sen. Ted Cruz is will question attorney general nominee Merrick Garland in person. He's tested negative for COVID twice since returning from Mexico.WASHINGTON — At 1:09 p.m. Jan. 6, minutes after protesters had burst through the barricades around the U.S. Capitol and began using the steel debris to assault the officers standing guard, the chief of the Capitol Police made a desperate call for backup. It took nearly two hours for officials to approve the deployment of the National Guard.

It was the first time Irving asked about permission to seek support from the National Guard, according to Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff. McCullough immediately entered the room and passed a note to Pelosi with the request. Video from inside the chamber shows her approaching the speaker at 1:43 p.m. Pelosi approved the request and asked whether Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican who was then the majority leader, also needed to approve it.

They excused Trumps vile tweets but Tanden’s comments were too toxic?

Maybe as a consolation prize Joe will let her jump to the front of the vaccination line unless she’s already got it of course

Let me get this straight, SenatorCollins. Cavanaugh, no problem, Trump and Ukraine, 'I'm sure he's learned his lesson,' but when it's a Democrat there's no rehabilitation? How very 'moderate' of you.

Imagine a world in which people are dumb enough to call her mean while they voted FOR Trump....FOR Barr...FOR Mulvaney. You have just imagined Trumps Dumb America....why do they HATE America so much?
