US Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley: "President Trump promised the American people the greatest, most monumental celebration in our nation's history, and thanks to his leadership and vision and persistence, we are delivering exactly that"
Q: Joe diGenova said 'there's no doubt that John Brennan was the progenitor of this whole counterintelligence investigation.' Isn't there a conflict of interest in having him oversee this investigation?
BLANCHE: I'm not sure what the conflict would be. I just completely disagree with the premise
Sen. Hagerty on Jerome Powell: "It would be a good time to go ahead and depart. It's probably not gonna be a very pleasant environment to stick around."
This is very Christian coded too - growing up, the youth ministers I knew were calling Jesus "Prince of Peace" all the time.
Rep. Randy Fine on Democrats: "I wish my Republican colleagues understood what we are dealing with, which is evil"
Sen. Roger Marshall: "Could you imagine Iran with a nuclear weapon? If Iran had a nuclear weapon, gasoline would be $10 a gallon. So it sounds like this latest breaking news is that Iran is capitulating. It's really hard to negotiate with these irrational, emotional, religious zealots."
Sen. Roger Marshall on the Iranian people: "We're literally starving them. They can't feed themselves very long."
KASH: βIβm like an everyday American who loves his country, loves the sport of hockey, and champions my friends when they raise a gold medal and invite me in to celebrate.β
He . . . he doesn't actually think the U.S. men's hockey players are his "friends," does he?
Trump knows that everyone understands what "Low IQ person" means when he says it but the press isn't willing to write it. He knows they will always cover for him and he loves that he can get away with it. He's used so many old timey racist terms he hopes no one knows but he also does this
Hope John Roberts, who assured us that absolute immunity would prevent presidents from going after their predecessors, sees this
Not only was Eisenhower not president for D-Day but he also waited 2 years for the cross-channel invasion. He was probably right to not gamble on one in 1942 and that caution was a marked contrast to whatever is going on now.
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
SARA EISEN: The president is just expressing what he wants in terms of monetary policy
ELIZABETH WARREN: I'm sorry. Is that real? You think it's not different to say 'here's how I read the numbers' and being the president and employing the DOJ to bring criminal charges against someone?
I was struck by how many words Patel used, none of which actually denied the question.
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: π€¨ 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"
It is genuinely wild how the GOP can insult Canada for over a year non-stop and then get angry about being "disrespected"
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
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
goose meme moment
RFK Jr: "I have nothing to do with the measles outbreak here"
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: 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.
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"
