Mike Johnson: "A line is crossed and it's very serious when you have leaders here in the Senate and House effectively telling members of the military to defy orders. It's a very dangerous gambit they were playing. Should they be sent to jail? Probably not."

Has any political story under-performed as much as Trump's conviction on 34 felonies?
On paper, that's a Top 3 story in American political history. Instead, I bet a majority of voters would say it's not true.

one thing that comes across in these clips is that bondi is totally out of her depth. just an absolute lightweight. barely sentient.
holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

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

The flu and pneumonia kill over 45,000 people a year. Moderna developed a new mRNA flu vaccine for people 50 and older--who are most at risk. Prasad, unilaterally, against the recommendation of experts within the agency, denied Moderna's appplication. www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/m...
Prasad overruled FDA staff to reject Moderna's flu vaccine application
The rejection is the latest instance of Vinay Prasad overruling career FDA scientists to place vaccines under harsher scrutiny.

And a minor point, but she refers to Rep Raskin just by his last name? Not "Member Raskin" or "Mr Raskin" or "Rep Raskin."
I don't think I've ever heard that in a Congressional hearing ever.

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."
