GOP blocks bipartisan probe of Capitol riot vote stalls at 54-35
Senate Republicans blocked creation of a 10 member independent commission to study the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The bill lacked the 60 votes needed to proceed, despite House approval and emotional pleas from police and lawmakers. Six Republicans joined Democrats, while 11 were absent or scheduling conflicts. The move preserves party loyalty to Trump and complicates calls to end the filibuster.
