Sean Duffy is using this briefing not to convey information to Americans, but to go on a political rant

[strange opera @OperaStrange]

i don’t believe a word anyone in this administration says. this briefing is a disgrace. the system didn’t have to be shut down because of a leaky roof.

@PollTracker2024 America hates Republican policies. we'll defeat the rest of them in 2028.

The US has denied an entry visa for Father Issa Thaljieh, the Palestinian parish priest at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

Thaljieh was due to speak alongside American clergy at an event organised by Orthodox Christians for Palestine near the US Capitol on Monday, calling on Congress to hold accountable both settlers and the Israeli military, and also curb US weapons transfers to Israel

wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could say the same thing about West Virginia?

[Elaine Godfrey @elainejgodfrey]

Not to make everything about Iowa (lol sorry) but this is something I heard a lot from Democrats who were voting for Rob Sand — that maybe, in a few years, more young people will want to stay in the state, instead of moving to Chicago or Minneapolis or Denver

[strange opera @OperaStrange]

@hobbesscribdoon it wasn't an AIPAC fundraiser. and Johnson called the vote last minute, after a bunch of Dems were offsite. it wasn't on the calendar that morning. weird how you give Johnson a total pass.

[strange opera @OperaStrange]

@EMIAGPOS @GabeFleisher what about Johnson calling the vote last minute knowing Dems were offsite? the vote was not on the calendar that morning. it's weird how many so-called Dems won't criticize him.

[strange opera @OperaStrange]

@thomassova4 @GabeFleisher they were there. Johnson deliberately called the vote after the group left and then closed it before they could vote. but congrats on taking the GOP-supplied bait.

[Gabe Fleisher @GabeFleisher]

You can’t add the 7 in-town Dems to the Dem column without adding the 5 in-town Repubs to the GOP column.

That would have made it 216-211. Even if you then add the 4 out of town Dems but no more Repubs, still 216-215.

Don’t fall for media narratives intended to gin up emotion or create drama that elides the simple facts: winning votes requires majorities.

No matter how you slice it, Dems needed another Republican to back impeachment. They only had 1. Attendance had nothing to do with it.

[Gabe Fleisher @GabeFleisher]

No, Democrats didn’t lose the Hegseth vote due to attendance

Even if every sitting House Dem had voted, there were enough Republicans in DC to quash impeachment. If all Ds voted, GOP would just have held the vote open for their in-town members to arrive https://t.co/PIVV4RPgzn
