Mayor de Blasio just said in his press conference that $23 million is the total amount of money available for 'bonuses' to get city workers vaccinated.

NEW YORK: "New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday that all city workers must be vaccinated against COVID-19, but those who get their first shot by the Oct. 29 deadline will get a $500 bonus. The mayor ordered all 160,000 municipal workers, including police and firefighters, to get vaccinated or face being placed on unpaid leave. Previously, city workers could remain unvaccinated if they submitted to regular COVID testing. The new policy eliminates that option. An estimated 46,000 city workers, or 29% of the total, have refused to get the lifesaving vaccine. A court challenge, and cops refusing to get the vaccine, could potentially lead to less cops on the street, but de Blasio said he’s not too worried about that prospect, in part due to the city’s success with its vaccine mandate for teachers and school workers and the $500 financial incentive currently being offered. City teachers and other school workers were already required to be vaccinated to protect children who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated. They were not offered a $500 incentive as part of that mandate."

LIVE: House Committee Discussing Bannon Contempt of Congress

Cheney: In the past week, President Trump has openly urged millions of republican voters not to vote in 2022 or 2024. He is urging them to abandon our democratic system, based on what everyone of us knows are false claims of systemic fraud and Dominion voting machines.

Interesting info about the judge in the Nikolas Cruz trial, Elizabeth Scherer:

-Is the daughter of William Scherer, who was on George W. Bush’s legal team for the election ballot challenge in 2000

-Scherer’s Ex-Husband Faced Drug Possession & Trafficking Charges That Were Later Dropped

-When Cruz’s Defense Asked Her to Step Aside, Scherer Instead Said That She Will Preside Over All Future Hearings

Cheney referencing commissions for Pearl Harbor, Kennedy assassination, and 9//11, as if there is any comparison to the January 6th riot.

Torres: We were close [January 6th] to losing our democracy.

[as if people armed with flagpoles, bats, and pepper spray could actually overthrow the government]

Thompson calling January 6th, 'the most dangerous action since the War of 1812 against our democracy'.

Raskin just said 'imagine if they had a bomb' [January 6th], ignoring the fact that two pipe bombs were actually found that day near the Capitol. He could have mentioned those, but for some reason chose not to.

Jordan: How can you expect witnesses to participate, when you wouldn't let republicans participate in the committee?

Gaetz: Democrats need January 6th right now more than ever. They need it because they can't pass a bill.

Gaetz reading into the record various comments from democrats for violence, and their threatening language used against President Trump.

McGovern must bee neck-deep in all this. He is desperate.

McGovern: Cheney is embracing the truth.

kek

Torres: An insurrection happened. We almost lost our lives.

Raskin just said he didn't know Bannon has a podcast. One minute later, he said that Gaetz was on Bannon's podcast three times.

Raskin falling over himself to get Gaetz to declare there is no evidence of election fraud.
