WARREN: Do you still work for Capital One today? JOHNSON: I do. I'm here today in my personal capacity W: Ok. But they're paying you to get confirmed for this job. I also understand they're letting you keep a bonus you haven't yet earned. They must be really excited about getting you confirmed.

I listened to it, but I have to admit this tribute still didn’t trigger any empathy from me.

They know they did it and they are responsible. Which is why they will continue to stonewall this. Good for the reporter to keep asking about it and not let this go, because they are counting on people just moving on.

Pete Hegseth is completely off the rails. He needs to be fired immediately.

First look at Koa in Suns threads 🧵👀

"Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question?" This exchange between Sen. Ossoff and Trump nominee Jay Clayton—about who won the 2020 election—is well worth watching.

Rep. Thomas Massie has announced he'll introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, a bill to give state AGs, DAs, 'authorized state officers,' and victims the right to sue DOJ for "unlawfully withholding, redacting, delaying, concealing, removing, or failing to publish Epstein-related records."

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

Ossoff: In my view, he's obsessed with Georgia because he can't get over the fact that it was black voters and black political power who were instrumental to his defeat in Georgia and in a number of crucial battleground states.

This is one of the more honest conversations I’ve seen on cable news in a while. Mara Gay explains why many voters are angry that their tax dollars are funding the war in Gaza while Americans struggle here at home. She argues it’s about what our government chooses to prioritize. 1/2

The con job begins for the next 72 hours. We’ve seen this drill before.

Reuters: ICE SUSPENDS VEHICLE STOPS FOR US IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT - SOURCES

In other words, it will get covered up again and Susan Collins won’t say or do a damn thing.

Sen. Ron Johnson on Mitch McConnell: "I just heard from a source that was an older photo"

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

That’s the man’s name and he qualified to run. Senator Sullivan could always change his name to avoid ballot confusion.

Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"

They just continue to insist that there are massive crowds showing up to this thing despite the fact that this is also the 200th anniversary of the invention of the camera.

This one is especially pathetic

STEINER: Can you tell me what those statues are, bc I don't know KIM: You don't come to us for cheat codes. This is something you should be aware of S: I absolutely am K: Can you tell me then the difference between Title 39 & 13? S: I'm not a lawyer K: I'm not either, but I know the difference

Q: There was a moment yesterday when Araghchi did not shake your hand, then he walked out. Did you feel snubbed by that? JD VANCE: No. Sometimes I find the Iranians extremely confusing as negotiators.

But we already lifted all sanctions on Iranian oil.

We gave Iran a massive concession they want very badly up front in advance in exchange for a promise to allow inspectors in again with zero specifics about when, how, or what sites they will be allowed to see. This is insanity.

Someone just told him that the murder of a duckling just took this feckless, incompetent disaster to another level.

I wish the women journalists that Trump trashes to their faces would push back as strongly as Italy's prime minister.

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

Brutal community note

The algae always comes back... meidasplus.com

How is it possible that this document has been read by tens of millions of people all over the world on the internet but a senior senator on the Intel Committee hasn’t?

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

The country is being run like a Trump casino headed for bankruptcy www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

JUST IN: Progressive Nithya Raman will advance to the general election and face incumbent Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race, according to Decision Desk HQ projections. It’s over for former reality TV villain Spencer Pratt.

Benjamin Netanyahu says the IDF will continue its attacks in southern Lebanon

Strange how the clouds and birds stayed perfectly frozen in place across two different presidencies. Almost like… it’s the same photo.

Netanyahu cannot let peace occur because then he will be prosecuted for his crimes.

An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

The Democratic governor who commuted this woman’s sentence, after she tried to scam an election for Trump, should be ashamed of himself.

I STAND WITH THE PROTESTERS If a detention facility can’t withstand public scrutiny, congressional oversight, and media attention, the problem isn’t the protesters. The problem is what’s happening inside. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

I know when we’ll see a lot of ‘em.

Man who ran Kennedy Center into the ground weighs in.

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

Just saying…

No One be Surprised! Read the Response….

Whitehouse: "If you look at all the Court's elections decisions, every one has the effect of helping the GOP. If you look at all their regulatory decisions, every one has the effect of helping the fossil fuel industry that funds the GOP. You can predict with perfect certainty what happens."

Whitehouse: "Callais is gonna drive up voter participation. This makes voters angry. When you see leading Black members of Congress have enjoyed respect of their states redistricted out office by political manipulation, that gets you mad. Let's make sure they lose where they can't redistrict"

Candelaria: "Labor & democracy have always been the same fight. The same forces trying to silence Black & brown voices are too often the same forces that are attacking us as unions, that are suppressing wages, that are underfunding our public schools, & blocking opportunities for working families."
