First Thing: Senate Republicans set to block Capitol riot commission


Senate Republicans are expected to stymie the Democrats’ efforts on Friday to set up a bipartisan, 9/11-style investigative commission into the 6 January Capitol attack. Debate on legislation to form the commission was set to begin late on Thursday, but work on another bill pushed consideration to Friday after the Senate adjourned at 3am. Friday is set to be another long day, with the Republicans expected to filibuster the House-approved commission. 10 dead in mass shooting in San Jose, CaliforniaThe father of shooting victim Paul Delacruz Megia outside San Jose city hall.
