Ask me about being too much of a sperging idiot to understand what resisting arrest means.
So is there no news here, just Schiff giving a recap of subpoenas that have been sent out or will be sent out?

To the extent there’s any one trigger, ADP released disappointing hiring numbers, which is pointing to a slowdown.

I thought this was going to be about the new emergency IC stuff at least in part?

Pelosi just shut down an impeachment inquiry question. So maybe there's more coming next.

She’s taking legislative question before she hands it over to Schiff for impeachment stuff I bet.

I get the strategy that she's going for, but it's loving stupid. She doesn't need to personally handle 100% of Democratic messaging. The House is being stonewalled by a Republican Senate and an idiot president. She can focus on impeachment while other members of her caucus deal with messaging on the legislative agenda which isn't going to move anywhere anyway.

Floor vote question again. She refuses to say whether or not there will be a floor vote, and this time seems to be an actual answer.
