DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

New in PN: @therickwilson.bsky.social on Marco Rubio's great debasement "He’s not only betrayed every value he ever claimed to have, but he’s profoundly — at a level I can barely articulate — harming the country. It’s an astounding comedown for a guy who was once thought of as someone of principle"

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

THIS 🤨 from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) “Incredibly weird how many people around him seem to get an unhealthy pleasure from other people’s pain and humiliation. It seems abnormal. It’s weird and twisted how fixated they are on a brutal Salvadoran prison, and taking photos of people behind bars.”

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

Honored to join veterans in calling for accountability and investigations into Secretary Hegseth’s FUBAR situation where he texted secret war plans on Signal to a journalist. We all wore the uniform. If we had texted secret war plans to a journalist, we likely would have been court-martialed.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"
