25th Amendment, Pence

I started listening to Nancy Pelosi's press conference. TBH, i was distracted by her fussing with her mask. Unless there's some other chess move under way, I don't see the point of the timing.

Pence - Any word on why he was abruptly told to return to Washington?

Rep. Raskin was very clear about that. It fills a gap that should have been plugged 50 years ago or so by creating a bi-partisan Commission.

It is not "targeted" at Trump, but Trump highlights the gap.

And, oh, by the way, it puts Trump's and Pence's respective health condition front and center stage. My understanding is that Trump cancelled his events for this weekend, and Pence suddenly cancelled his Indiana trip yesterday.

Kinda' strange if you ask me. And a clear giveaway that both of them are sick.

So, as usual, Speaker Pelosi is right on target.

On edit: Here's an OP that I started after I watched Speaker Pelosi and Raskin's presentation this morning: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214254301
