Paging @JohnBrennan (CIA 2015), Clapper (DNI) & other Obama admin folks from that time. The Senate would like to hear if you have any information about Mullin’s classified missions while serving in the House.
Laura Weiss@LauraEWeiss16

Sen. PETERS, top HSGAC Dem, is now questioning MULLIN and pressing him on travel MULLIN says in 2015 he was asked to train and go to a "certain area" in 2016 and that the trip was official and classified & only four people were read in on it. This was while MULLIN was in Congress PETERS is saying committee needs more info on this trip & MULLIN is declining to say more, saying the trip was classified

This is an absolute must-watch/listen pod. This combo - @BrodyMullinsDC @camoosomiller - knows Washington inside out. Plus, maybe Brody does segments on obscure Nationals outfielders and Lisa gives up her family baked ziti recipe.

Yes, John Lewis voting bill and SAVE act are dramatically different in what they set out to do. But Ds & Rs find same goal - trying to win midterms - in their efforts to gut filibuster. "You’re going to find yourself on both sides of it, depending on how the election goes."

When presidents & agendas are unpopular, Senate majorities find blame in same place: filibuster. Rs want to gut f'buster rights to pass election bill, just like what Ds tried to do 4 years ago. Almost everyone is a hypocrite on this issue. My column: washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

Rep. Jim Clyburn, 85, is set to announce whether he’ll seek reelection tomorrow. That means it’s time to read @kadiagoba’s timely interview where he said he was “leaning towards doing it,” a different tact than Reps. Pelosi & Hoyer, who are both retiring washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

A very smart, broad look at Congress’s surrendering of its constitutionally given powers. Both R & D presidents have claimed powers over last 25 years. But past 14 months has been breathtaking in the atrophy under Capitol dome. Via amazing @lizcgoodwin washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

…. Crenshaw lost his primary to a Cruz acolyte. Issa and Zinke went from rabble rousers to leadership allies. They’re leaving. Allred’s first 6 years as moderate Dem are gone as he runs in a Harris +33~ district. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

It’s easy to think that House can’t get more partisan, it’s already at peak high school cafeteria hijinks. But the rash of mid-decade redistricting has side effect: forcing mainstream Rs & Ds into ideological primaries - or retirement. It can get worse. My Sunday column ….

This spot is a bit hidden but close to the most violent of 1/6 battles at door leading to Capitol West Front. And 1-2 times a week House GOP leaders - who refused to display plague - will pass nearby it. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

Just amazing work here by Olivia to be on scene for this important moment, several years later than it should have taken. Should’ve been grand ceremony to unveil it. Kudos to @MacFarlaneNews who’s dogged reporting kept sunlight on this. And @SenThomTillis for getting it done.

Scoop: Overnight, the plaque honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6 was finally installed, following years of delay. I know because I was there, watching at 4 a.m. as two employees working a nightshift bolted it to the granite wall. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

My midweek column: The war isn’t popular in part because Trump & Rs didn’t try to build support for it. Now Rs are focusing on a housing bill, not selling a war most voters didn’t expect. “This wasn’t on their short list of things to be concerned about.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…
