What did the AG, DAG and director of the FBI threaten her with as they sat across the table from her, I wonder??
In the situation room? Oh good grief, people.
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

An important side note about today's Epstein/Trump revelations.
They show that Todd Blanche's questioning of Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump.
Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

Listen to this BS from Duffy. (Whose aviation-world experience = zero.)
I know 1000 times as many controllers as he's ever met. OK, maybe only 100 times as many.
This is offensive beyond belief.

Trump and his minions have been the worst bosses imaginable from the day they took office. NO ONE in ANY line of work wants to work for an employer that treats their employees so shabbily. Hard to imagine why anyone who was able to retire or leave would want to stay on with them.

There is no Republican plan to replace the ACA
Tim Burchett on the Republican plan to replace the ACA: "I think we've had enough hearings. I think we need to just start bringing stuff to the table and start voting on it."

I was in Brussels and Paris for a couple of weeks during Trump's first term, and remember feeling like it was more American there than the USA was. How much worse it is now!
“We like to call ourselves the indispensable nation, but we're making ourselves more dispensable than any other time in modern history.”

Who coulda seen THAT coming
The construction industry, where more than a quarter of workers are foreign-born, has long struggled to find enough workers. Now, industry officials say Trump's immigration crackdown is making it worse.

One might reasonably conclude it was a deliberate act to rub peoples' noses in their misery
If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

What will all that extra electric power consumption do to the climate, I wonder -- particularly if fueled by hydrocarbons. Not to mention electric power rates for consumers.
Data-center projects that “may sit empty for years because the local utility isn’t ready to supply electricity.”

Hassan: My vote was to do two things: 1) Make sure the government is functioning… 2) continue the fight to a realistic platform to get the premium tax cuts done. If that is not successful, then shame on the Republican Party and shame on Donald Trump.
