First Tulsi cooks up some insane “Obama-Russia-Hoax” conspiracy that’s a clear distraction from Epstein.
Then Trump dumps weird videos on Truth Social.
Then Johnson dismisses the entire House because he’s scared of an Epstein vote…
Hmm… what are they so afraid of?

In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.
Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

Trump's vanity birthday parade masquerading as a tribute to the troops is offensive and a wasteful use of taxpayer dollars. We should be using that money to feed hungry kids, pay for new roads and bridges, and provide better health care to our veterans.

This assassination makes the Minnesota house even. I'm waiting for the first Republican Minnesota state legislator to commit to sit out votes until Rep. Hortman is replaced - otherwise Republicans are hugely benefiting from and complicit in this sort of political violence.
This was a targeted political assassination. Every single Republican needs to condemn this violence before more people end up dead.

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.
The man accused of shooting two Minnesota Dems allegedly found their addresses online. That has prompted some lawmakers to call for tighter oversight on how personal info is shared online.

The Trump administration has leaked sensitive military plans by using commercial messaging apps, which is incompetent, outrageous, and dangerous. This administration is full of unqualified cabinet members picked solely for their loyalty to Donald Trump, and the American people are paying the price.
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
