Yeah I’m struggling with this hearing.
RFK Jr. is lying every time he is asked a question and we’re expected to just like accept that this is normal business.
THIS. MAN. SHOULD. NOT. BE. HHS. SECRETARY. PERIOD.
He is dangerous and he is harming so many people.
Famously badly run and unlikable public entity buying famously badly run and unlikable private entity.
Something, something, rigor & reproducibility, something, innovation, something…

“Our message to Florida Republicans, F around and find out.” ~ Leader Hakeem Jeffries
They learned nothing from their shellacking in California, or their loss in Virginia.
Matches tightly with the distribution of Black people in Mississippi.
Favorite scene in All The President’s Men: Woodward & Bernstein attend White House Correspondents Dinner, hobnob with Nixon Administration officials, have such a swell time that they back off Watergate investigation so they don’t lose their access.
A new wholly corrupt settlement handing your money to Trump cronies.
It’s notable for several reasons:

🚨BREAKING: The Republican majority on the North Carolina State Board of Elections voted Wednesday to block a proposal that would have prepared local officials for scenarios involving federal agents at polling places and attempts to seize ballots. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
They were warned that Iran would block the Strait of Hormuz, too.
They aren't so real good at listening.
Quite the stat:
Not sure if someone else has already pointed this out: the indictment against SPLC has multiple counts for false statements to a bank, 18 USC 1014. Theory explicitly stated in indictment is that certifications to open accounts were “false or misleading.”
But there’s a problem:

So Hegseth didn’t get along with the Navy Secretary and also doesn’t get along with the Army Secretary. He seems to be the common denominator.
A lot of public service work is task specific, i.e. there is not a big private market for it. So one logic for civil service protections to recruit and retain people who see it has their career, and invest in improving their expertise. Harder to do that now.

The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.
WATCH: “So we’re even further away from helping impoverished kids.”
As @tnsenatedems @tndemocrats @tndems warn about a new Republican bill to INCREASES the amount of the private school vouchers and RAISES the income max for the half that have one — speaker Sexton defends it.

Obviously Bhattacharya is a hypocritical hack. That’s who he is, it’s priced in, so I’m not so angry at him. I’m mostly angry at the useful idiots who accepted and promoted the “he’s part of a new generation of freethinkers open to new ideas” bullshit.
Would love to play that one for the jury in the defamation case.

Welcome to Perjuryland!
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
Sources say that if Kash Patel cannot stop binge drinking and spending taxpayer dollars on his personal travel, Donald Trump is prepared to fire the highest ranking woman at the FBI.
Here’s your deal on Agency! (I love this cover!)
Last night's referendum in Virginia could have a chilling effect on Republicans' ability to game the system to keep control of Congress.
