Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

NEW: Pentagon & Pete Hegseth in total meltdown [WSJ]. Hegseth reportedly screamed: “I’LL HOOK YOU UP TO A FUCKING POLYGRAPH!” at the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Hegseth went into meltdown trying to find who leaked news about Musk’s briefing on China. He’s unstable, unfit & finished.

Extract from the story which says:

"I'll hook you up to a f— g polygraph!" Hegseth shouted at Admiral. Christopher Grady, the then-acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to two people familiar with the exchange. Hegseth demanded proof that Grady hadn't leaked news of the March 21 briefing.
