Lutnick last year on his visit to Epstein's house in 2005: "My wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again." (Lutnick testified under oath today that he visited Epstein's island in 2012.)

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended

"This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime"

"I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

Pam Bondi blabbing on about protecting kids from vaping while deflecting questions on her cover-up of the largest global sex trafficking ring that the US president is potentially involved in is certainly a choice...

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Bondi thinks she's Secretary of Commerce?
Always a new dimension with the Trump Clown Show.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Idiot.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.

If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

If you are wealthy and a friend of Trump‘s, he puts you in positions of power even though you are incompetent.
KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

LUTNICK: I don't know

K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level?

L: I don't know

K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

He’s so unlikable. Add that to the fact that the MAGA base will not transfer to him. Good luck in 2028.

And let’s start doing to him what they did to Kamala: “What has JD Vance actually accomplished since he’s been VP?”
