Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

UNACCEPTABLE. @padilla.senate.gov - a sitting U.S. Senator - was just physically assaulted and handcuffed for asking DHS questions about issues that impact his constituents at a PUBLIC PRESS CONFERENCE. This is the stuff of authoritarian regimes.
Senator Padilla is forcibly shoved out of Kristi Noem's press briefing:

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back
