Rep. Olszewski to Marco Rubio: "I may have to get you a new pair of glasses because the facts are right in front of you, and it seems like malpractice for the Secretary of State to not be able to see this president and his family enriching themselves by billions of dollars."
LIEU: Secretary Rubio, instead of holding North Korean-style cabinet meeting where everybody goes around the room kissing Trump's ass, I'm gonna ask you to come clean with the American people. There's something wrong with Donald Trump's health or cognitive abilities. There's a reason he keep going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen the president in eight days. The American people deserve the truth.
RUBIO: *starts frantically making excuses for Trump*
LIEU: Just keep lying, Secretary Rubio. Just keep lying.
BESSENT: I believe the president's remarks were taken out of context
HASSAN: No. He said, 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody.' That's a direct quote
BESSENT: Groceries are going down
HASSAN: When was the last time you were in a grocery store?
WARNOCK: Do you still driving deeper into debt to extend billionaire tax cuts was a good investment?
BESSENT: During the Biden admin--
WARNOCK: Look, Joe Biden has been out of office for two years. The fact you keep talking about him tells you everything.
Rep. Jacobs to Rubio: "It seems like you have an issue admitting facts. You can't say that the president lost the 2020 election…You won't admit that President Trump is losing this reckless war of choice…You couldn't admit that the shoes the president bought you were too big."
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
Dear @ScottPelley
Thank you.
Thank you for standing up when it was inconvenient.
Thank you for standing up when it cost you a job you loved.
Thank you for standing up to power and for trying to save a landmark news program.
Thank you for your INTEGRITY.
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
Dolly Parton on her Imagination Library program that Republicans defunded:
"[My daddy] was the smartest man I have ever known, but I knew [...] his inability to read probably kept him from seeing all of his dreams come true. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission."
Sen. Shaheen to Marco Rubio: "In 2017, you wrote as a senator that 'Vladimir Putin will never be a trusted ally or a reliable constructive partner.' But since taking office…not one of you has been to Ukraine, and yet your envoys talked to Putin on a regular basis…Decisions Congress has made on Russia have been systematically undermined."
Are you ever going to find out what’s going on with the president’s hands? Why the continuous IVs? Why does he disappear for multiple days at the turn of the month?
Are you so scared of CNN’s billionaire owner that you won’t ask basic questions?
🚨BOOM: Sen. Cory Booker just masterfully backed Marco Rubio into a CORNER:
Booker got Marco Rubio to admit that Trump’s war has ENRICHED Iran by nearly $50 BILLION due to his dumb decisions.
Then he torched Rubio for begging Iran for a deal that’s WORSE than the Obama deal Trump ripped up!
This exchange is BRUTAL. 🔥
Shaheen to Rubio: "Mr Secretary, you would not have stood for this kind of stonewalling by the administration when you were a senator, and you certainly shouldn't stand for it as secretary of state and national security adviser."
Rubio: "We're getting a lot of questions about us. I don't think it's fair because ultimately the people who have closed the Strait of Hormuz are Iran."
Sen. Schatz: "Nobody's defending what Iran is doing. I think what we're saying is this was not just predictable, it was predicted…It's really shocking to me the degree to which this administration expresses shock that the thing that everybody said was going to happen ended up happening."
BOOKER WASN'T LETTING RUBIO OFF THE HOOK.
When Rubio denied U.S. cuts were responsible for the Ebola outbreak, Booker fired back:
🔥 "I'm not saying the cuts caused Ebola."
"I'm saying we cut early detection. We cut disease surveillance. We cut early warning systems."
Sen. @JeffMerkley to Rubio: You have expressed that no one died as a result of the shutdown of USAID. I want to note that it's estimated that over 500,000 children have died from that shutdown. I hope you ponder that as we strive to rebuild programs related to malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS, HIV, nutrition, and Ebola.
