According to a bulletin obtained by ABC News, the new misplaced QAnon belief predicts that Trump will be returned to power on Jan. 31. So, again, it really shouldn’t have to be speaker Pelosi who calls this out. The White House is not weighing in on the subject. Jen Psaki, White House press secretary said Friday: “We’ll leave decisions about committees to members of Congress and we’ve certainly seen Speaker Pelosi speak to that.”

(AP Photo/Eileen Putman)WASHINGTON – The House’s chief law enforcement officer is tightening security for traveling lawmakers as Congress reassesses safety in an era when threats against members were surging even before Donald Trump’s supporters attacked the Capitol. Congress' 535 members travel frequently between their homes and the capital, and many have said they feel vulnerable in their districts and when they travel. The House members asked for tightened security procedures. President Joe Biden is in “close touch” with Pelosi about congressional security, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

Pelosi wants security money to face 'enemy' within House
Read full article: Pelosi wants security money to face 'enemy' within HousePelosi focused her comments on the anxiety and partisan frictions that have persisted in Congress since Trump supporters’ assault on the Capitol, which led to five deaths. Some Republicans have loudly objected to having to pass through newly installed metal detectors before entering the House chamber, while Pelosi has proposed fining lawmakers who bypass the devices. Pelosi did not say whom she meant by her reference to an “enemy" within the House, and a spokesperson provided no examples when asked. Other Republicans have also talked about carrying firearms, which lawmakers are permitted to do, though not on the House or Senate floors. Members of Congress can keep guns in their offices or transport them on the campus if they’re unloaded and securely wrapped.

Read full article: Ex-Marine wins Democratic primary for Joe Kennedy IIIs seatJake Auchincloss has won a packed primary to become the Democratic nominee in the race to fill the U.S. House seat being vacated by Rep. Joe Kennedy III in Massachusetts. Nearly 1 million voters, skittish over the coronavirus pandemic, used the mail option for Tuesdays primary. He was elected to the Newton City Council in 2015. Kennedy opted not to seek reelection so he could challenge incumbent U.S. Sen. Edward Markey in the Senate Democratic primary, but lost that bid Tuesday, becoming the first member of the Kennedy political dynasty to lose a congressional race in Massachusetts. The few other members of Massachusetts all-Democratic congressional delegation who had faced primary opponents Reps. Richard Neal, Stephen Lynch and Seth Moulton all breezed through Tuesdays runoff.
