PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

WASHINGTON (AP) — Biden: 'There will no longer be Nord Stream 2' gas pipeline to Europe if Russia invades Ukraine with 'tanks and troops.'
— Jonathan Lemire (@JonLemire) February 7, 2022

"I think it would be wise to leave the country," President Biden says about U.S. citizens in Ukraine. He says he doesn't want them to be "caught in a crossfire" if fighting breaks out.

A Biden admin task force is proposing pro-union organizing rules for federal workers:

JAN. 6 COMMITTEE

Rep. Jamie Raskin tells @MSNBC that he expects the Jan. 6 Committee to start holding hearings as early as April.
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) February 7, 2022

The Jan. 6 Committee is acting more prosecutorial than a typical congressional panel — aiming to pressure the Justice Dept. to bring the criminal charges the committee can't, employing aggressive tactics typically used against mobsters and terrorists. https://t.co/CjJ1Yr4OfI

LEADER SCHUMER

Leader Schumer: "It's a sad commentary on how far the political arm of the GOP now has gone that the RNC will go out of its way to punish its own members ... while defending the rioters who tried to undo an election."

"Theirs will be nothing less than everlasting shame."

JOE ROGAN

August 2021, Rogan claimed some trans people aren't actually trans -- "they are just latching on to this need to get attention, or to be special, ... and to be a victim."

He then agreed with his guest's use of an anti-trans slur, saying "QAnon is just like conservative t-----s" pic.twitter.com/UkdvL3gfxd

TRUMP

Trump's habit of illegally tearing up documents was far more widespread and indiscriminate than previously known and — despite admonishments — extended throughout his presidency.

Some records were lost forever.

"It is absolutely a violation of the act."https://t.co/gmF1sEY5Wd
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) February 7, 2022

Trump "improperly removed multiple boxes from the White House" that were retrieved by the National Archives last month from Mar-a-Lago because they contained documents and other items that should have been turned over to the agency. https://t.co/xW1Ou6QUZ5

Nine months before midterm elections... Trump & the GOP have embraced a theme that inverts the onus of racism in the U.S. Whatever history shows, they insist, Whites today represent its victims at least as much as Blacks & other minorities.@JohnJHarwood https://t.co/zuWWVhe5La
