After the hearing ended, the court docketed an email from a representative from the Alexandria Sheriff's office to a member of Al Watkins's firm on "media requests for Jacob Chansley."

BREAKING: In a memo, the @USChamber attempts to provide cover to corporations to resume donating to the 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the election
"We do not believe it's appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification"

I'll be monitoring these developments closely.
