Screenshot of an X post by Headquarters quoting Hillary Clinton responding during testimony after learning Lauren Boebert was posting photos. The quote includes Clinton saying she would be held in contempt if needed and that everyone is abiding by the same rules. Below is a video still showing Clinton seated at a hearing table wearing a blue suit jacket, resting her chin on her hand.

In a Clinton v. Boebert battle, I'm going with the smart, experienced former Secretary of State over the conspiracy nut who performs lewd public behavior.

They are not, in fact, trying to carry out a plan "to evacuate Americans before the attack" - obviously.

Time for Starmer to embrace his "finest hour" , he can use whatever ever lawyerly language he likes but the subtext at the very least has now got to be, America fuck off🖕

Trump insists Israel did not force US hand on Iran attack as he meets German chancellor – live US president appears to contradict Marco Rubio remarks that Israel planned to strike Iran first, claiming ‘If anything, I might have forced Israel’s hand’
