Trump; and [x] WHEREAS, on January 12, 2021, Representative Herrera Butler made the following statement outlining her support to impeach Donald J. Trump, “The President of the United States incited a riot aiming to halt the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next. That riot led to five deaths… These terrorists roamed the Capitol, hunting the Vice President and the Speaker of the House… The President’s offenses… were impeachable based on the indisputable evidence we already have.”; and [y] [z] WHEREAS, on January 13, 2021, Representative Newhouse made the following statement outlining his support to impeach Donald J. Trump, “A vote against this impeachment is a vote to validate the unacceptable violence we witnessed in our nation’s capital. It is also a vote to condone President Trump’s inaction. He did not… call in reinforcements when our officers were overwhelmed. Our country needed a leader, and President Trump failed to fulfill his oath of office.”; and [aa] WHEREAS McMorris stated on why she voted no, she stated on record “For Trump supporters like me, it meant turning a blind eye to arrogant, prideful, and bullying behavior.” [citation]; and WHEREAS, as of Winter Quarter of 2021, the University of Washington had 28,387 Washington State residents enrolled as students.

Encourages Trump to put an end to this madness, does she? Too little, too late. She acts like she’s doing us a favor instead of being complicit in the sedition… She’s given credence to these lies, thereby inciting these domestic terrorists & traitors.”; and [ac] WHEREAS, Joe Rodriguez Jr., a constituent of Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, states in a Letter to the Editor of the Spokesman-Review on January 9, 2021, “Why not invoke the 25th Amendment? As surreal as this sounds, this would be a fitting culmination to the insanity of the Trump administration.”; and [ad] WHEREAS, Barry Cross, a constituent of Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, states in a Letter to the Editor of the Spokesman-Review on January 9, 2021, “Note to Cathy [McMorris Rodgers]. I just heard your “backpedal” apology on CNN regarding your participation in the coup caucus to overturn the votes of millions of people in this country during the recent elections. The resulting riots and vandalism of the United States capital are pretty much understandable given the directions, encouragement and speeches of your political master. Essentially you drove the getaway car, you are an accessory to the fact and there is no going back - no apology suffices and no mulligans allowed - you are complicit in those actions.”; and [ae] WHEREAS, Mark C. Johnson, a constituent of Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, states in a Letter to the Editor of the Spokesman-Review on January 9, 2021, “Cathy McMorris Rodgers reversing her intent to now vote to certify Electoral College results, after the riot on the capitol in DC: TOO LATE Cathy!...

    Half of Americans Approve of the Job President Biden Is Doing, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Most Say Conspiracy Theories in the U.S

    Tim Malloy, Polling Analyst (203) 645-8043 Doug Schwartz, Associate Vice President and Director (203) 582-5294 FOR RELEASE: FEBRUARY 17, 2021 HALF OF AMERICANS APPROVE OF THE JOB PRESIDENT BIDEN IS DOING, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS; MOST SAY CONSPIRACY THEORIES IN THE U.S. ARE OUT OF CONTROL Four weeks after being sworn into office, President Joe Biden receives a positive job approval rating as Americans approve 50 – 38 percent, with 13 percent not offering an opinion, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University national poll of 1,056 adults released today. This is little changed from February 3rd when Americans approved 49 – 36 percent, with 16 percent not offering an opinion. There are sharp partisan divides with Democrats approving 91 – 2 percent and independents approving 50 – 34 percent, while Republicans disapprove 82 – 11 percent. When only considering registered voters, Biden’s job approval is 52 – 38 percent. It is nearly the inverse of former President Trump’s negative 38 – 55 percent job approval rating at roughly the same period during his presidency in a February 22, 2017 poll. “One month in, these are solid, but not particularly dazzling approval numbers for the new president. There may be some solace in the knowledge that his predecessor spent four years in office without getting very close to 50 percent,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy. Americans approve 58 – 32 percent of the way Biden is handling the response to the coronavirus. On his handling of the economy, they approve 48 – 39 percent. When it comes to the Biden administration’s handling of the reopening of schools, the public is mixed with 42 percent approving, 38 percent disapproving, and 20 percent not offering an opinion.

    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20510 June 16, 2020 Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear Commissioners: On behalf of our constituents, we write to thank you for the Federal Communications Commission’s (Commission’s) efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The work the Commission has done, including the Keep Americans Connected pledge and the COVID-19 Telehealth Program, are important steps to address the need for connectivity as people are now required to learn, work, and access healthcare remotely. In addition to these efforts, we urge you to continue the important, ongoing work to close the digital divide through all means available, including by finalizing rules to enable the nationwide use of television white spaces (TVWS). The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the consequences of the remaining digital divide: many Americans in urban, suburban, and rural areas still lack access to a reliable internet connection when they need it most. Even before the pandemic broadband access challenges have put many of our constituents at a disadvantage for education, work, and healthcare. Stay-at-home orders and enforced social distancing intensify both the problems they face and the need for cost- effective broadband delivery models. The unique characteristics of TVWS spectrum make this technology an important tool for bridging the digital divide. It allows for better coverage with signals traveling further, penetrating trees and mountains better than other spectrum bands. Under your leadership, the FCC has taken significant bipartisan steps toward enabling the nationwide deployment of TVWS, including by unanimously adopting the February 2020 notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which makes several proposals that we support.

    Democrats approve budget bill as first step in passing COVID-19 relief bill Senate Democrats passed a budget bill that paves the way for approval of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote. The House followed suit on the amended bill today. Jim voted for the measure. President Biden continues to hope that any package will have bipartisan support, though that is increasingly unlikely. He insists that $1,400 direct payments are necessary to provide relief to struggling Americans, but expressed willingness to the possibility of limiting the benefits by narrowing eligibility requirements. Many members of the Senate remain opposed to including increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. President Biden delivers first foreign policy address In a speech yesterday at the State Department, President Biden laid out the foreign policy priorities for his Administration, pledging that diplomacy will be central to America’s dealings with international partners and adversaries. He committed the United States to a central role in world affairs going forward and pledged to work closely with allies on issues like fighting the coronavirus pandemic and mitigating climate change’s effects. In the address, the President announced that the U.S. will end support for offensive operations by Saudi Arabia in Yemen, calling the war a “humanitarian and strategic catastrophe.” He will appoint a special envoy to negotiate an end to the conflict. Additionally, he said that the Administration will hold Russia and China accountable for their cyberattacks and attempts to undermine American democracy by interfering in our elections.
