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
the job:
whoa this is unhinged
shocked not shocked anyone in trump land thought it was a good idea to put this guy in front of a microphone. wow.
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
Rich guy grievance is so pathetic. Retaliating against my unprovoked abuse is the real abuse. Lashing out and then crying as official national policy
OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying
goose meme moment
Sarlacc pit in a committee hearing
RFK Jr: "I have nothing to do with the measles outbreak here"
Aaron Rupar -- come for the dedicated, extensive coverage of the Trump Admin, stay for the occasionally hilarious commentary
Breaking: Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel will lead a government delegation to Canada to promote U.S. spirits consumption.
like living with an elderly bulldog
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?
BENNET: You said the outbreak has nothing to do. You're the head of the HHS!
RFK Jr: I have no jurisdiction over other countries
BENNET: I agree. But everybody here believes the United States ought to be leading in these matters. That's why we're so discouraged by your cuts to NIH.
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
I'm starting to question the health benefits of a diet limited to beef tallow, "ferments," and road-kill.
It is not outrageous for Canadian provinces to respond to a trade war (started in breach of our existing agreements) and threats of annexation with a targeted import limitation. Our government is run by bad people who are also bad at their jobs. Canadians are wholly right to retaliate as they did.
Vaxxed???
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump MORNING GLORY: Will President Trump go full Sherman in the war on Iran?
Trump posts an article suggesting he "go full Sherman in the war on Iran"
RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."
lmao
That’s not a thing! There is no different way to calculate the percentages!
RFK Jr: "Why would I ever reject a drug that worked? What kind of perverse motive are you ascribing to me?"
WARREN: So those massive discounts--
RFK Jr: Massive. 600 percent
WARREN: 600 percent! They can pay hundreds of dollars on TrumpRx or they can get it for $12 as Costco
When you don’t know you’re being filmed:
Officer I have a different way of calculating blood alcohol percentage
They told me there would be no math. And they were right.
Just the dumbest people in the world
