Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony DโEsposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if heโs running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fianceeโs daughter on payroll.

Itโs genuinely insane that this is even a conversation. We have learned nothing.
We asked elected Republicans at the Capitol about this today, most had barely given the war a second thought. Just whatever Trump does is fine with them.

โAny concerns about some of the things going on with Israel, whether we may be putting their interests ahead of ours?โ
We asked Tennessee-Israel caucus co-chairs Rep. Torrey Harris (D) & @ScottCepicky (R) about the war, West Bank bill, + concerns many have about their influence.
To recap - Trump just fired Noem because she revealed he let her do some corruption too... replaced her with the most dimwitted obedient senator he could find... and didn't even tell her, letting her do an event here in Nashville where she was the only one who didn't know she was canned
leadership!
