SARA EISEN: I think it was a bit of a trap to ask Kevin Warsh about the election denial, to get him to disagree w/ President Trump. You know no Fed Chair is going to weigh in on politics like that
WARREN: Look, I asked him a fact. We need a Fed Chair who can assert reality. Kevin Warsh can't do it
Elizabeth Warren: "You know what banking system Scott Bessent wants? The one we had right up until 1933 -- just deregulate the banks, and they crash. The alternative is to say we need better regulation over the private credit market."
EISEN: I wonder if you ever worry that by trashing the president over Iran that it weakens our hand and negotiation position at a critical moment
ELIZABETH WARREN: 🤨 Donald Trump weakens Donald Trump's hand when he starts this war without ever consulting with the American people about it
Lutnick dodges Van Hollen's questions about Epstein: "I am here today to testify about the budget"
LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
COONS: Why is it a good idea to relieve sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil?
BESSENT: The $14 billion number is a DNC talking point
COONS: I am not the DNC. I'm the senator from Delaware
VAN HOLLEN: You said you disputed some of my facts. Do you dispute that Sheikh Tahnoon through his company invested $500m in World Liberty Financial just before the inauguration?
LUTNICK: I'm not aware of that
VAN HOLLEN: Seriously? It's been so widely reported
VAN HOLLEN: What you've done is prove a windfall to very wealthy people who don't pay taxes
BESSENT: Why would I do that? What's your theory of the case?
VAN HOLLEN: Because this administration time after time has tiled the tax code in favor of very wealthy people
OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
HASSAN: Does the president know about your self-promoting videos using official HHS resources?
RFK Jr: I didn't know about a number of those videos. I just happened to not see them.
HASSAN: So you don't know how your own team is managing official resources?
HASSAN: Did the president approve your decision to fire all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine committee in June 2025?
RFK Jr: Uhhhhh -- you mean did I talk to him directly? We talked to the White House DPC
How can the Democrats not like how the U.S. Supreme Court votes. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, NEVER failing to wander from the warped and perverse policies, ideas, and cases put before them. They ALWAYS vote as a group, or BLOCK, even that new, Low IQ person, that somehow found her way to the bench (Sleepy Joe!). The Republican Justices don’t stick together, they give the Democrats win after win, like a 159 Billion Dollar pile of cash on a completely ridiculous Tariff decision, and nasty, one sided questions on the country destroying subject of Birthright Citizenship, something which virtually NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS STUPID ENOUGH TO ALLOW. It was meant for the babies of slaves, not for the babies of Chinese Billionaires. No, certain “Republican” Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they “supposedly” stood for. Handing over 159 Billion Dollars in Tariff refunds to people who have been Ripping Off our Country for years, is unexplainable. One little sentence would have stoped this record setting payment from having to be made. It is a travesty! Their Tariff decision was an unnecessary and expensive slap in the face to the U.S.A., and a giant victory for its opponents. If they rule against our Country on Birthright Citizenship, which they probably will, it will be even worse, if that’s possible. It will cost America massive amounts of money but, more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY! No, the Radical Left Democrats don’t need to “Pack the Court,” it’s already Packed! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump refers to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as "that new, Low IQ person"
This is Fitz and June. Fitz just got here and thinks this place is pretty great. June was here first and thinks it's time to return Fitz. 13/10 for both (TT: muester)
Incredibly misleading @newsweek.com headline, bothsidesing so hard it would make @nytpitchbot.bsky.social blush.
The premise is false.
Californians & Virginians had the chance for voters to decide whether or not they approved redistricting.
Texas & FLA gave voters NO such chance.
Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.
If you've ever wondered about this GOP being a cult...
My statement regarding unfounded attacks and threats against my family and staff.
Exactly. Here in Texas, where urban voters/Democratic voters like me were gerrymandered out of existence without our input. The voting power of millions of Texans, eliminated with the support of our own governor, at the president's behest.
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
“I mean peace like when you kill people at sea in contravention of international laws, when you start a war against a nation while your negotiating a peace treaty, when your opening salvo involves targeting a girls school killing 170 children and teachers, that kind of peace.”
So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years.
Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.
But, how can that be with such intelligent leaders like Whiskey Pete and Epstein’s best friend leading the way?!?!?!

Exactly the plan Trump has for America.
Trump admires the autocratic brute Modi for a reason, and it is the same reason Elon Musk does: none of the three men have any identifiable principles.
The Heritage foundation did a 29 year study and found in all that time, in all federal elections, it was about 1500 times non-citizens voted. that out of billions of votes. Seriously, this is the tail wagging the dog.

Kevin Roberts is talking about “playing hardball” after losing. That’s not “bold new strategy”; that’s a tantrum.
Maybe stop taking marching orders from Donald Trump and start admitting the voters have stopped buying what you’re selling.
What the American "drug war" looks like on the ground: Ecuadorian fishermen were attacked in a double drone strike, arrested at gupoint, taken to El Salvador and then finally released.

Elon Musk and Peter Thiel routinely kick their critics off the X platform. Which is an excellent reason not to use it. Ever.
