The official White House Twitter account JUST put out this blatant misinformation about Officer Sicknick from January 6th at the Capitol. They said that he "lost his life protecting elected representatives" which is demonstrably and intentionally false.

2021: “Notably, Senator Tommy Tuberville bought up to $1.84 million in non-energy mineral stocks. These included copper ($SCCO, $FCX), steel ($X, $CLF), aluminum ($AA) and other infrastructure-related stocks ($EXP, $BHP) before Biden signed his Big Infrastructure Bill. Tuberville later sold up to a third ($660k) of these stocks.” https://unusualwhales.com/politics/article/full

JUST IN: Kevin McCarthy just lost the 12th bid for Speaker of the House.
13 of the 20 GOP reps who previously voted against Kevin McCarthy flipped their votes this round & voted for Kevin McCarthy this time.
He just picked up 14 more votes. If he gets 4 more, he’ll be Speaker.
