It should be among the most important oversight investigations Congress has ever conducted. But the select committee on Jan. 6 hasn’t even had its first hearing and it’s already consumed by drama after Speaker Nancy Pelosi decision to reject two GOP appointees, Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks.

And, we told you Wednesday about how GOP leaders are going on offense against Biden’s $3.5 trillion reconciliation package by framing it as a “reckless tax and spending spree.” Well today, White House senior adviser Anita Dunn is going to the Hill to arm Democrats for the messaging war ahead.

Dunn will appear at Senate Democrats’ caucus lunch and the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, we’re told. According to a copy of the presentation obtained by Playbook, her talk will encourage Democrats to argue that Build Back Better will usher in “more jobs,” “tax cuts” and “lower costs for working families.”
