How Kash Patel Was Duped Trump’s lickspittle FBI director fell for obviously fake Russian documents. So much for Wizard Kashs’s “smoking gun.”

It turns out Wizard Kash’s “smoking gun” is not only ridiculously fake (as Durham concluded), it actually blows a massive hole in the Trump/Patel “Russia hoax” theory.

🚩 The same “Appeal to Heaven” flag carried by January 6th rioters now flies over a federal building: the Small Business Administration, led by Trump’s pick Kelly Loeffler.

Bad reaction from too much lip filler?

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different...we never glorified weapons so much...then there is the cost"

1/3 ICYMI: The House passed a $9.4 BILLION “DOGE” rescission package that guts funding for global HIV/AIDS relief (PEPFAR) & public broadcasting. It’s a death sentence for millions around the world and at home.

Now, it is heading to the Senate where it only needs a simple majority to pass.

Nailed it. 🎯

YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News BREAKING NEWS: Seth Moulton Absolutely Lights Into Pete Hegseth Over Signal Chat Scandal

Here's one example. Like several, Seth Moutlon asked Whiskey Pete if he'd hold himself accountable for SignalGate. As he keeps doing, Whiskey Pete said it didn't matter if he mishandled classified info on a successful mission.

So Moulton asked abt "success."

YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News Mikie Sherrill Asks Pete Hegseth About 3 Areas Of His 'Incompetence' As Secretary Of Defense

By popular request, linking Mikie Sherrill's "3 kinds of incompetence," which is also superb. Best part is she dings him for his Fox News tactics and then ... those Fox News tactics fail. Second best part is this kicks off her Gubernatorial campaign against a MAGAt.

That was close to beginning. Eugene Vindman was among last.
He does a quiz: I hope you've done your homework since.
Each Q, Heggy tries to fake it, then says it's classified, then Vindman lectures him.
Then Heggy exhibits total lack of familiarity w/Kaliningrad.

Emanuel: You have the 250th anniversary of the US Army. Rather than making it about everyone who makes up that 250-year family of service—to the country, to the Constitution, and to the ideals of the United States—Trump has decided to make it about the most important person in his view: Donald Trump

RFK Jr. sent Congress 'medical disinformation' to defend COVID vaccine schedule change A document circulated to members of Congress misinterprets studies and cites debunked research, scientists say. It could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety.

"Experts say the FAQ's citations distort some legitimate studies and cite others that are disputed and unpublished.

"In two instances, the HHS memo makes claims about dangers to pregnant women that are actively refuted by the papers it cites to back them up..."

But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women."

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

Sen. Patty Murray on the Padilla incident:

"I have been here for more than 32 years. I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."

US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists, Citizen Lab finds ROME (AP) — Spyware from a U.S.-backed Israeli company was used to target the phones of at least three prominent journalists in Europe, two of whom are editors at an investigative news site in Italy, according to digital researchers at Citizen Lab, citing new forensic evidence of the attacks.

ROME (AP) — Spyware from a U.S.-backed Israeli company was used to target the phones of at least three prominent journalists in Europe, two of whom are editors at an investigative news site in Italy, according to digital researchers at Citizen Lab, citing new forensic evidence of the attacks.

A few key points:
- Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety
- He identified himself as a Senator
- Right before this happened Noem literally said she was there to liberate Los Angeles from its elected leadership

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Put this on a billboard.

F.B.I. Dismantles Elite Public Corruption Squad

The FBI is disbanding a squad that handles investigations into members of Congress and fraud by federal employees, according to people familiar with the matter, a move that comes as the Trump administration seeks to eliminate or marginalize units responsible for public corruption cases.

“Maximum pressure.” I shudder to think what that looks like.

RFK, Jr. is coming for abortion pills He's relying on shoddy science to make his case.

New @motherjones.com: RFK, Jr. is coming for abortion pills

He told the Senate HELP committee yesterday that he told FDA Dr. Martin Makary to “do a complete review” on mifepristone. Why? Because new shoddy science from an anti-abortion group just dropped.
