Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Last year, Mike Lawler looked you in the eye and said “I will not cut Medicaid.” Then he was the deciding vote for Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill,” enabling the largest Medicaid cut in American history.

“the release of the 5 men after a day-and-a-half of custody—despite the fact that U.K. police have legal powers to detain terrorism suspects for 2 weeks—has raised questions about the initial narrative and suggests the men might not have intended or been equipped to carry out a major attack” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.
