🚨 State Representative Ann Johnson from Houston, TX, is speaking some truth to power. Her message carries weight; it carries values, American values. ✊🏼

he arrested while on way to job, he was traveling a bit of distance from what I remember

I hung a feeder out on the balcony and there’s one very aggressive hummer chasing away any hummer that comes to the feeder. Had no idea they were so territorial - put a 2nd one in a different location.

“Shhhh, don’t speak”… said in Antonio Banderas voice.

If Bessent had any balls, he would have responded, “Kaitlan, you’re right. It’s insane. Fuck it—I quit. I’m outta here.”

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com: "Mr Taibbi said when he was first searching through the so-called Twitter files he didn't know what he was looking at. Well, he still doesn't. Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works."

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Fourteen hours later, he's still going.

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for using your voice to alert people to Trump and Musk's wrecking ball to Social Security and other vital services Americans rely on.

Damn. Ranking Member Kamlager-Dove calls GOP witness Matt Taibbi a "serial sexual harasser" and enters articles into the congressional record about his history as a sex pest

Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

Pete Hegseth brought his wife to his meetings with senators so it would be awk to ask him about his alleged sexual misconduct www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Crockett: "The idea that you want to shut down everybody that is not Fox News is bullshit. We need to stop playing."

All the laws flouted during SignalGate Very illegal and very not cool.

New in PN: All the laws flouted during SignalGate

"There’s no excuse they can come up with that will be believable, bc the truth is obvious — they recklessly defied numerous laws by discussing war plans in a Signal group. And once they got caught, they made things even worse by incessantly lying."

Chris Murphy: "There has to be criminal investigations as well here. If the criminal code doesn't apply to powerful people, if it only applies to people without power, then we don't have rule of law in this country."

Chris Murphy: "They're sitting there telling the American people that 2+2=7...those were attack plans, those were war plans, that was classified information, everybody knows it. The idea that they think they can get away with this level of gaslighting- it just strikes at the foundation of democracy"

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

HUNT: Do you have Signal on your phone?

NAVARRO: You guys beat that story to death on the campaign trail

HUNT: Wait, this story wasn't on the campaign trail. It started on Monday.

Grassley: "We want to cover up-- or, overcome some of that problem."

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

Gomez on Hegseth: "He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink! So of course we want to know if his performance is compromised. If your people were asking if General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue ... this is serious."

Duckworth: "Hegseth is the most unqualified sec def in history & this is further demonstrating his incompetence. He's literally leaking classified war plans via group chat...if you're our allies, I'd be thinking twice about sharing classified information...All these people need to lose their jobs"

OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct?

RATLIFFE: No

OSSOFF: This is an embarrassment

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

my goodness you can see Tulsi Gabbard trying to come up with evasive answers to Kelly's questions in real time

Wow- Himes during a heated exchange w/Will Cain on Fox: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage...it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots right now...it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop"

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."
