Republican #DougLaMalfa, a 7-term US rep from #California & a reliable vote on #Trump’s agenda, has died. He was 65. Details surrounding his death are unclear.

His death trims the #Republicans’ margin of control of the #House to 218 seats to #Democrats’ 213.

House Democratic Leader #HakeemJeffries of NY called for a moment of silence in honor of LaMalfa at the start of a panel commemorating the 5th anniversary of the #Jan6, 2021, attack.

“They really saved my life, & they saved the democracy & they deserve to be thanked for it,” she said.

But as time passes, there are no longer bipartisan memorial services for #Jan6. Tuesday, #Democrats will reconvene members from the Jan 6 cmte for a hearing to “examine ongoing threats to free & fair elections,” #House Democratic Leader #HakeemJeffries of NY announced. It’s unlikely #Republicans will participate.

#JamieRaskin envisions the #Capitol one day holding tours around what happened. “People need to study that as an essential part of #AmericanHistory,” he said.

“Think about the dates in American #history that we know only by the dates: There’s the 4th of July. There’s December 7th. There’s 9/11. And there’s January 6th,” said Rep #ZoeLofgren, D-CA, who also served on the cmte & has a plaque outside her office.
