the spox also said, Rep. Burchett sent a letter to Chairman Comer requesting a subpoena for Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony... and Comer directed Burchett to introduce a motion to subpoena Ms. Maxwell for a deposition, allowing the Committee to formally consider whether to proceed.
Oversight spox: "The Committee will seek to subpoena Ms. Maxwell as expeditiously as possible. Since Ms. Maxwell is in federal prison, the Committee will work with the Department of Justice and Bureau of Prisons to identify a date when Committee can depose her."

At a Capitol news conference, House Republican Whip Tom Emmer refers to his Minnesota home state media as "worthless," as he claims slanted coverage of ICE agent activities and border security.
Not only a great reporter...
🎸🎤 Sunday night tunes. One of my favorite John Lennon songs: Across The Universe. Acoustic, raw and unedited in my living room. Nobody can do justice to this so please don’t hold me to it.

AOC & Tonko are now hearing stories from the crowd on how Medicaid cuts will impact those in NY-21. AOC starts by sharing how when she ran for Congress she did not have insurance and would wait for hours at the free clinic.
Good afternoon! AOC & Paul Tonko are in Plattsburgh, NY (Stefanik’s district). This is the overflow for a sold out town hall that’s about to start. About 10% of the entire population of the town is out today to make their voices heard.
Great piece by @alfonsoreports: newsday.com/long-island/tr…
