Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Meidas made some excellent points about today’s political climate.

We aren’t exhausted anymore; we’re alert, asking questions and not liking the answers.

Dems have momentum because we’ve seen Trump’s “peace plan”, tariffs, raids, gerrymandering, and threats to us and our allies.

If you look at a chart of student test scores from the 1990s to the present, it arcs happily upward as each generation incrementally learned a little more. Then, about a decade ago, that progress began to reverse.

Everyone asking who has ever seen bags of cash for payoffs has forgotten #Watergate. Bags of hush money to keep the burglars from saying that the White House and CREEP were involved were left at a phone booth in one of their attys. And a plane crashed with a defendant’s wife with a purse full of $.

Again, in the hearings last week, Kash claimed this attack took a lot of money and so had to have outside funding.

That's horseshit.

Tyler Robinson allegedly drove his Dodge Challenger 4 hours to Orem, shot Kirk with grand dad's gun, then drove 4 hours home.

He shot Kirk for ~$70.
