again, congress was in a joint session to receive the electoral college votes, confirming that joseph r. biden be the next president of these united states. but all of this republican- generated chaos led to an evacuation of the chambers. and legislators were hustled to secure locations to shelter in place. a question for the republican senators who helped foment this insurrection: why did you run away? i mean, these are your peeps. they love you. why didn't you hang out with your buddies, marsha blackburn? kelly loeffler, ron johnson, john "not that kennedy" kennedy? because you can run all you want for the rest of your lives, but you can never escape the responsibility of what you brought upon american democracy today. and this was never some sort of peaceful protest. this was charlottesville come home to roost on capitol hill. look at these thugs. a guy in a qanon t-shirt chasing a capitol security officer up flight after flight of stairs. nothing to see here, folks. just a crowd of angry white people chasing a black man. remind me: are we great again yet? the justice department finally res

143 members of congress ignoring a legitimately valued elected president of the united states, joseph r. bidenle not elected to public office. maybe the chief justice of the united states has a couple ideas on who to put on this committee. maybe it should be led by bill berate pwratton, people like that, people who have experience in investigative work. because the core of this study, this commission if it ever comes to bear, has to be what happened that day. and everything else spills out from that. was it premed indicated? of course it was premeditated on the part of some of them. but the core, the lack of communication between various agencies, between the capitol police, between the national guard, between the pentagon, who was talking to each other? the secret service. what did they know the night before, the day before, the week before. the fbi, what did they know a week before. and how did it all boil down in that one day? but i don't think you'll have a very successful commission when you have people like jim jordan and other republicans, and democrats too, combined fighting for politi

we have a path and the senate has to pass it and we have a president named joseph r. biden who is wig willing to sign it. ms. fernandez: i think you raised exactly the points we have been talking about, this minimum wage and it is something that everybody supports. everybody supports it whether you are republican, whether you are democrat and it's time to get it done. >> one of these arguments that we hear is we don't want one size fits all. first of all, as a labor lawyer, the minimum wage has been one national wage the whole time since 1938. it is a floor of deesens si and you already explained how in 2025 it is not likely that the wage is going to be $15 an hour. in san francisco, los angeles and new york and denver places all around this country, the odds are overwhelming that they will have to raise the minimum wage beyond that. this is a floor of decency. he ms. fernandez: i love how you described it as a floor of decency and our moral compass and vote for families and we heard what is happening in new york state. and i want to yield congresswoman adams from north car
