    GEIST: Do you believe it&#39;s appropriate for any president to have his personal attorney become attorney general? TILLIS: Well the fact of the matter is Todd Blanche is no longer his personal attorney GEIST: He was, though TILLIS: Does that mean he&#39;s going to be excluded from any position? GEIST: The attorney general of the United States? Maybe TILLIS: I disagree

    WELKER: Some Americans worry you can only make Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. Would you need to do that? EL-SAYED: Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, instead you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare that you wouldn&#39;t lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that kind of system if we knew our healthcare would be free at the point of care.

    LMAO -- Maria Bartiromo and company pivoted *instantly* from &quot;this is a disappointing jobs report&quot; to &quot;this is great news. It&#39;s why the market is up.&quot;

    &quot;Pirro clearly wanted to spare herself any further scrutiny by the courts, but her motion to dismiss comically inept, an attempt to paper over the fact that her office charged Hearn and several others based only on the fevered imaginings of President Trump. All it really does is highlight how much she was willing to lie in the first place.&quot; https://www.publicnotice.co/p/jeanine-pirro-crashes-into-the-limit

    watching the candidate forum for the US Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith and it&#39;s incredible how Royce White&#39;s response to every question is to spout insane conspiracy theories about transgender people and the uniparty (he&#39;s supposed to be talking about the farm bill here). This guy was the GOP&#39;s nominee for a Senate seat two years ago!

    😮 Trump&#39;s nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them who won the 2016 election. It turned out this pack of nominees is so committed to lying that they wouldn&#39;t provide a straight answer to that question either, and thus ended up sounding like election deniers even about Trump&#39;s wins. Here&#39;s...

    Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions. RE: https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/Dbqq1B2IM2o

    SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in the white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, &#39;Muslim immigrants and their children seem prone to terrorism.&#39; Do you stand by that statement? CANDEUB: I wrote that article in support of President Trump&#39;s travel ban SCHIFF: That&#39;s not my question. Do you stand by that statement? CANDEUB: I stand by that article SCHIFF: That&#39;s all I need to know

    Klobuchar responds: &quot;None of my opponents on this stage condemned what ICE did. Not a word. Two innocent people were killed, shot in the back. We had many people arrested when they weren&#39;t supposed to be arrested, and we need reform to ICE.&quot; RE: https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/Dbqh-l2CeTM

    Rep. Max Miller on why he&#39;s staying in the race: &quot;When we go back to 2015 and 2016, and people in the media looked at President Donald J Trump, and everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight.&quot;

    Q: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he&#39;s able to work it out. I feel badly for him.

    holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump&#39;s judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump&#39;s victories!

    Cornyn: &quot;As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it&#39;s highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word&quot; 🙃

    🤯 Rep. Max Miller&#39;s interview with Jake Tapper is an utter trainwreck 🤯 Miller went on CNN to try to push back against credible accusations that he abused his ex-wife &amp; child, but he only made things worse for himself. He threatened his ex-wife&#39;s father (Sen. Moreno) w/ blackmail material, defended publicly releasing a nude image of his daughter (&quot;there was no genitalia exposed&quot;), &amp; insisted he&#39;s not leaving the race b/c he&#39;s inspired by the example of Presiden...

    Bessent blames Dear Leader for lower than expected GDP growth: &quot;I think we were growing at probably 4% before the president made the decision to go into Iran, and I think we can easily get back to 3% for the year&quot;

    Bessent: &quot;Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we&#39;re gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, &quot;Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!&#39;, well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt.&quot;

    Sen. Rand Paul: &quot;This was a war of choice, and it wouldn&#39;t have been my choice ... they&#39;ve militarized the strait. The strait has never been militarized ... I think that really we, by any objective viewing, are worse off now than we were before the war&quot;

    Booker: &quot;I love the state of Texas, but I&#39;m going to say it very clear: This is all hat and no cattle. It&#39;s hard for me to say this as a plant-based guy, but where&#39;s the beef? This is ridiculous! We got nothing! No guarantees whatsoever that this slush fund can&#39;t still go forward ... Dear God, folks.&quot;
