LEE: I asked Chairman Comer, if Pam Bondi did not come, would he force her to or if he would move for contempt hearings as he did for other people who did not respond to our subpoena? Instead of answering as an adult, he said that I was “bitching”

HANDS OFF: 1300 events NO KINGS 1: 2100 events NO KINGS 2: 2700 events NO KINGS 3: 3000 events and counting Let’s make history. Again.

BREAKING: House Oversight Dems just walked out during a briefing with Pam Bondi on Epstein — saying she refused to commit to their subpoena to sit for a deposition. Garcia: "We asked her multiple times and she refused to commit. We won't participate in a fake hearing that's not under oath."

GARCIA: It was clear from the minute it started that the attorney general is trying to evade the subpoena. We asked her that question. Multiple members asked. She would not respond. She said she'll continue to follow the law. That is not a response

FROST: We asked Pam Bondi multiple times, are you going to come and speak with us under oath? She would not say yes. We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar.

HUNT: Did you feel reassured by what you heard behind closed doors? SEN. MARK KELLY: Ahhh -- no

Ro Khanna on Pam Bondi: “Let me make one thing clear — her coming for a briefing is not going to get her out of having to testify under oath with this subpoena. We voted for that — she's going to be held accountable. She owes the American people an explanation for why she's been covering up”

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

AOC: I think we know without a doubt that this is a war of choice—that Donald Trump has initiated all of these hostilities, killing American service members and innocent Iranians alike, and for no reason. He has a different reason every day.

Here’s what stands out: Trump’s own attorney set the record straight on whether Epstein was ever expelled from Mar-a-Lago. He admitted: "No [Epstein] was not a member. May have been a guest. Never asked to leave." Mar-a-Lago's manager also confirmed that Epstein was never asked to leave. 2/

CROCKETT: Professor, are you saying you believe it's constitutional for the US to blow up people that are accused of being drug traffickers? "It's not going to be a yes or no answer" CROCKETT: I'm going to stop you there. It's unconstitutional.

Crockett: "What if someone from another country said 'We're gonna bomb America bc we have a warrant for the president's arrest bc of the child sex trafficking in the Epstein files.' Every single one of you sticking up for him right now would be screaming. The analysis has to be the same."

"The Trump administration has bypassed regular procedures to award more than $13 million in contracts to the company that helped organize President Trump’s rally on Jan. 6, 2021, repeatedly creating hidden business opportunities that only one firm could win."

Rand Paul: I don't think that kind of person sends the right message to ICE agents.. I don't know how we get that from a guy who says he'll jump over the dais, and people deserve to be punched in the mouth and caning and dueling is a good example for the modern congress.

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"

KING: Can you update us on Russian intel sharing w/ Iran? GABBARD: That answer would be for a closed session K: But is it occurring? G: What I can say is according to the Dept of War, any support Iran is receiving is not inhibiting operational effects K: That's the first cousin of 'yes,' I guess

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

WARNER: You omitted a paragraph about Midnight Hammer 'obliterating' Iran's nuclear capability that's in your written report from your oral opening GABBARD: I recognized the time was running long WARNER: So you chose to omit the parts that contradicts the president

HASSAN: If directed by the president to take an action that would break the law, would you follow the law or the president? MULLIN: The president would never ask me to do that HASSAN: Well certainly everyday Americans who have served on juries would disagree with that

RAND PAUL: You offered no apology. And you offer no apology today, and no regrets MARKWAYNE MULLIN: I'm not apologizing for pointing out your character PAUL: You want people to know you supported a felonious, violent attack on me MULLIN: I did not say I supported it. I said I understood it.

TULSI IN 2020: “War with Iran is highly likely unless Trump swallows his pride and returns to the Iran nuclear agreement he tore up. My concern is he won’t put the interests of our country and those who would be killed ahead of his pride and personal interests.”

Dripping with the right kind of “populism” Keep’m coming...

Pretty dark

Kat Abughazaleh used her campaign to try a lot of things that the party should been embracing a long time ago. The entire left coalition is better off because she ran.

The fact is. Most people are actually fed up of war mongering narcissists protecting the Epstein Class.

Between this story of Marco Rubio's Florida bestie embedded in a web of agents for the Venezuelan oil industry, and this recent report of this Chevron-CIA double agent influencing Trump's Venezuela policies, Curaçaoan rumors about Venezuelan elites manipulating Trump are being corrobrated

Ted Cruz is a liar and a despicable person. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

Lieu: "Undocumented immigrants want nothing to do with the govt! To vote, you have to first register. How many undocumented immigrants are gonna go, 'Yes, I'm gonna give all my information to the govt that's maybe trying to deport me. No way!' This is a problem that doesn't exist."

Just a reminder that Trump has said he can "take" Cuba or do "whatever he wants with it" and that this is utterly insane.

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

In a plea deal in 2024, Smirnov admitted that he had not only completely fabricated the Biden-Burisma connection but that it was conjured with the assistance of at least four Russian officials. trib.al/XPWuqC1

@katmabu.bsky.social ran a great race. She's young and has a bright future ahead of her. Also, she changed the course of the race and introduced progressive politics that can't be ignored by the Democratic Party anymore.

The difference between them and me is that I think safeguarding the integrity of elections means protecting and expanding voting rights, whereas they think it means oppressing voting rights.

💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

This man did far more fighting for the US than anyone in the cabinet or the White House. And he died one day after being taken to an American concentration camp. One day. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Swalwell: "We have a 70-plus-year history of failure not just in Iran, but all over the world, of trying to force regime change. By the way, it's being led by a guy who has more plans for the ballroom he's trying to build than anything he's gonna do next in the Middle East."

The War in Iran, So Far. in Six Acts: 1. TRUMP: “We already won.” 2. TRUMP: “I don’t need your stupid help.” 3. TRUMP: “OMG! We are losing the Strait of Hormuz!” 4. TRUMP: “Heeeeeeeeeeelp! Heeeeeeeeeelp!” 5. TRUMP: “I’m going to FORCE YOU to help me.” 6. EUROPE: “You don’t have the cards.”

America first is letting foreign companies come into the US to mine copper?

Serious question. Doesn’t our government already know who’s a citizen? The Social Security Administration, the State Department, DHS, the DMV they all have this data. In fact, the SAVE Act itself uses federal databases to verify citizenship for other parts of the bill.

Donald Trump said it himself: He wants the SAVE Act to pass so Democrats can’t win elections this fall.

BREAKING: Senator Susan Collins just voted to advance the SAVE Act, a Jim Crow-style bill targeting the right to vote. They’re trying to pick their voters instead of earning them.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

NEW: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed charges against prediction market company Kalshi. "Kalshi may brand itself as a 'prediction ⁠market,' but what it's actually doing is running an illegal gambling operation." www.reuters.com/world/kalshi...
