Harry Dunn stands in the living room of a waterfront home in Annapolis, Maryland, in a black campaign T-shirt and a silver chain. His forehead glistens with sweat as he paces the bright space, all eyes in the room on him.
The image people have seared into their minds of Dunn is him in a crisp, dark Capitol Police uniform, gold badge over his heart, giving an emotional testimony in front of the Jan. 6 congressional committee.

A frequent target of harsh Republican attacks, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-ca) is putting up the digital barricades for his reelection campaign.
On the ballot in November like every member of the House of Representatives, the six-term California Congressman has teamed up with the technology services of Wolfsbane.ai to protect himself against AI deepfakes and other manipulations.
“Ensuring the integrity of our democratic process is of paramount importance,” Rep. Swalwell said Tuesday of the realities of running for office in the 21st century. “Embracing cutting-edge tools such as Wolfsbane.ai to prevent deepfakes is not just an option; it’s a necessity in safeguarding elections against fraud and misinformation,” the ranking member of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Congressional Subcommittee stated.
Long an advocate on the power of technology in the contemporary political arena, Swalwell is the first elected official to partner with Wolfsbane.ai, but he likely won’t be the last.

When the National Press Club hosted a post-screening panel on the upcoming movie Anna, about Russian journalist and Vladimir Putin critic Anna Politkovskaya, the conversation — to not much of a surprise — led to Donald Trump and what his potential return to the White House would mean for democracy.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-ca) and former CIA director John Brennan joined journalist Bob Woodward for the post-screening event Wednesday evening, and each chimed in on the potential impact of another Trump presidency.
Woodward, who released 20 audio interviews with Trump as part of The Trump Tapes in 2022, said, “I think an important question about Trump is, ‘Who is he?'”
“In the course of these interviews I asked him, ‘What’s the job of the president?’ And he said, ‘To protect the people.’ Now that’s a good answer. He did not protect the people [in the Covid crisis]. And if you get into this — I think...

Former Special Counsel Robert Hur’s highly anticipated testimony before the House Judiciary Committee began with a compilation of Donald Trump’s many gaffes and errors — undercutting the Maga Republicans who presumably want to use the hearing to impugn President Joe Biden’s mental fitness.
The supercut, prepared by Ranking Member Jerry Nadler (D-n.Y.) featured clips of Trump erroneously identifying international and American leaders, struggling to remember when he was married to his ex-wife, and other instances of the former president stumbling over his words and short-circuiting on camera.

Republicans are trying to spin the Biden impeachment inquiry forward after an hours-long deposition with his son Hunter Biden on Wednesday. It’s proving difficult, as the closed-door hearing doesn’t seem to have yielded many revelatory details.
Some Republicans are even conceding that Biden performed well under questioning. “I think when the transcript comes out, it’s gonna read well for him, because they did a great job prepping,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) told Fox News host Harris Faulkner Thursday.

Former President Donald Trump is in D.C. on Tuesday sitting in on an appeals court hearing regarding his claim of “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution for acts he may or may not have committed as president. The arguments are already getting absurd.
Judge Florence Y. Pan, a member of the three-appellate judge panel that will rule on the question, asked Trump’s attorney, John Sauer, if — hypothetically — a president could order S.E.A.L. Team Six to assassinate their political rival and be immune from criminal prosecution.

On Friday, former President Donald Trump mocked House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and her husband in the wake of a brutal attack in the family’s home last October.
Nancy’s husband Paul Pelosi’s skull was fractured in the attack where an assailant had beat him with a hammer.
Trump had previously responded publicly to the attack with trademark far-right conspiracies and called the attack a “sad situation.”
At a state party convention of California Republicans, Trump said, “We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco — how’s her husband doing, anybody know? And she’s against building a wall at our border, even though she has a wall around her house — which obviously didn’t do a very good job.”

Sean Penn urged the White House to take a more aggressive approach toward arming Ukraine, telling a crowd at a screening of his film Superpower that those who are influencing U.S. policy “need to get out of the pure caution business.”
“I don’t mind being foolish in saying that I deeply believe, whether Democrat or Republican, if this was an issue that one of the parties chose to commit to, in arming Ukraine, that not only would it be a principal win, but it would be a political win. I think we are hungering for that kind of decisiveness,” Penn told CBS News’ Major Garrett.
“Caution has been very important, humanly and politically … But many times in emergencies, restraint is the enemy of action,” Penn added. “I think that there are influential people, perhaps influential with our president, who they themselves need to be encouraged to get out...

The House is back in session, and Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s first order of business was to announce that he will direct a House committee to open “a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.” Notably, the decision allows McCarthy and Republicans to skirt a full vote in the House on weather or not to proceed with an impeachment investigation.
In a televised statement delivered Tuesday at the Capitol, McCarthy cited allegations of “abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption,” against Biden that warranted “further investigation by the House of Representatives.

The 2024 presidential race already has its first candidate to drop out: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.
The GOP contender announced on Tuesday that he was suspending his campaign, which failed to gain traction amid a large field of alternatives to front runner Donald Trump. Suarez failed to qualify for the first presidential debate last week, something that also may prove to be a reckoning for other candidates absent from the stage.
“While I have decided to suspend my campaign for President, my commitment to making this a better nation for every American remains,” Suarez said in a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“I will continue to amplify the voices of the Hispanic community – the fastest-growing voting group in our country. The Left has taken Hispanics for granted for far too long, and it is no surprise that so many are finding a home in America’s conservative movement.

President Joe Biden was heckled during his State of the Union speech by Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia tonight.
NBC’s Garrett Haake told viewers that Boebert “and Marjorie Taylor Greene…kept up something of a running commentary throughout much of the speech, interjecting.”
Boebert, who wore a wrap with the words “drill baby drill” on the back, appeared to be the night’s interjector-in-chief.
Biden, as he did throughout the speech, sought to find common cause with Republicans as he spoke of caring for U.S. servicemen and women who may have been exposed to toxic substances while Afghanistan and Iraq.
“When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best-trained warriors were never the same,” he said. “Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.”
He added, “A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin, I know.”

Crist yesterday tweeted Spears’ post and made clear that they’d still like to have the benefit of her experience with respect to conservatorships.
The Florida Rep. is co-sponsor of a bill, the Guardianship Accountability Act, that was introduced last year after Spears successfully got out of her conservatorship. There’s also a similar bill in the Senate.
“Thank you so much for sharing your story of strength and perseverance, Ms. @BritneySpears,” wrote Crist “It’s my honor to invite you to meet with us in DC. Your voice helps other victims feel so much #stronger.”

A group congressional Democrats are calling for the censure of Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) for posting a bizarre animated video that depicted himself violently attacking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-n.Y.) and President Biden.
“For a member of Congress to post a manipulated video on his social media accounts depicting himself killing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden is a clear cut case for censure,” the members said in a statement announcing their intent to introduce a censure resolution. “For that Member to post such a video on his official...

Attendees of Trump’s rally were less than pleased when Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), whose remarks immediately preceded the former president’s, brought up the 2020 election and told the crowd to “put that behind you.”
“There are some people who are despondent about the voter fraud and election theft in 2020,” Brooks said at the Saturday night event in Cullman, Ala. “Folks, put that behind you, put that behind you.”
The crowd immediately broke into boos and chants of “no!” in response. It’s clear what Brooks is trying to do here.

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson sparked outcry Wednesday night when he called Black Capitol police officer Harry Dunn an “angry left-wing political activist.”
“On Tuesday, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi will call on police officer Harry Dunn. Dunn will pretend to speak for the country’s law enforcement community, but it turns out Dunn has very little in common with your average cop. Dunn is an angry, left-wing political activist,” said Carlson, referring to Dunn’s forthcoming testimony in front of the Congressional committee converged to investigate the deadly Jan. 6 riot.
He pointed to social media posts Dunn, who is Black, has made about racism before.
Dunn’s lawyers, David Laufman and Mark Zaid, released a statement Wednesday night that read, “Tonight Fox News allowed its host Tucker Carlson, who has not served a day in uniform, whether military or law enforcement, to criticize the heroism and service of African-American U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) only wants to face the good kind of consequences for his comments the morning of the January 6th riot at the Capitol.
The Maga-friendly representative is basing his campaign for Senate in Alabama around his unequivocal support of Trump, including the false idea that he won the election last November, but he’s had to temper his devotion to the former president in the face of a lawsuit filed by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) alleging that Brooks’ speech at the “Save America Rally” on January 6th helped incite the insurrection.

Update, 12:03 Pm Pt, Thursday, updated with Wgaw comment: The House Judiciary Committee narrowly advanced a sixth and final piece of legislation that has been dubbed the “break up” bill, on the notion that it ultimately could lead to tech giants shedding assets or splitting in two.
The bill, the Ending Platform Monopolies Act, which passed 21-20, would prohibit major tech platforms to sell product lines that they own and control. The bill is aimed at rooting out conflicts of interest that arise when a company like Amazon sells its own lines of products on its platform, giving it the incentive to disadvantage rivals. It also could pose a problem for Google, which ranks videos on its search engine, and also operates YouTube.
Over the span of 29 hours, the Judiciary Committee also passed five other bills, including one that prohibits major tech companies from discriminatory conduct, and another that requires...

Appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, called on the Department of Justice to launch a review of the ways that the Trump administration politicized the agency.
In the early days of the Trump administration, DOJ prosecutors subpoenaed Apple for records belonging to Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who also sits on the Intelligence Committee, as well as their staff and family members, including one person under the age of 18. The DOJ’s inspector general has already launched an investigation into the Apple subpoenas,...

Former President Trump really doesn’t like leakers. He repeatedly deemed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee throughout Trump’s time in office, the worst of them. “He’s the biggest leaker in Washington,” Trump said of Schiff in 2019. “He’s a leaker like nobody has ever seen before.”
It probably shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, then, that in 2018 Trump’s Justice Department secretly subpoenaed Apple for Schiff’s data as part of a leak investigation, The New York Times reported Thursday night.

3rd Update, 6:45 Pm: The focus of the impeachment trial on Wednesday is rightfully on the footage of the Capitol siege. Some of it — like the security footage of senators racing to evacuate the chamber — had not been shown publicly before. Other clips took on new meaning as impeachment managers built a timeline of Trump’s call to “fight like hell” and the subsequent insurrection at the Capitol.
But as interesting was the way that the impeachment managers focused on Mike Pence. There were multiple references and clips of rioters who could be heard chanting “hang Mike Pence.”
“Mike Pence is not a traitor to this country. He is a patriot,” said impeachment manager Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-tx). He and Pence don’t agree on much, but his point was turned on one of Trump’s biggest defenders when he wouldn’t do what the then-president wanted him to do: Overturn the election results,...

We’ve gone for just over two weeks now without hearing much of anything from Donald Trump: Banned from Twitter, absent from Fox & Friends call ins, the former president has been unusually low key at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
That will change on Tuesday, when he will once again be at the center of the media spotlight, even if he’s not a presence live and in person.
For only the fourth time in American history, the Senate will start an impeachment trial of a president — and it will be a first for a former commander in chief.
Broadcast networks are planning special reports, while cable and streaming services networks will provide complete feeds of the proceedings.
It was just over a year ago that Trump was acquitted in the Senate for his first impeachment, and there is every expectation that will be the same verdict again.
