PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?
RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war
MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly
RFK Jr: It's not my department
The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care.
Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Starting February 18, 2027, smartphones and many portable devices sold in the EU must have batteries that users can remove and replace more easily. That means #Apple #Samsung #Google #Xiaomi etc may need to redesign future devices to meet the new rules www.business-standard.com/technology/t...
BREAKING: Iran’s Ghalibaf:
The President of the United States made seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false.
They did not win the war with these lies, and they will certainly not get anywhere in negotiations either.
Daily Reminder: Release th Epstein Files👇🏻
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
👏👏👏
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

Totally agree
Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.
No… Tucker,
you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.
You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.
You can rot.
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

As politely as I can, it is hard to overstate how stupid GOP voters are. Anything not GOP is "Marxism and communism" according to them.
After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
“It is the era of lawlessness.”
In an exclusive interview with The New Arab, Secretary General of Amnesty International, Agnès Callamard, called out the US and Israel as leading a “predatory world order” in which the rule of law ceases to exist.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.
