Deeply disturbing story. Survivors of US boat strikes allege they were kidnapped and tortured for days by the US military. The prosecutor investigating the claims was just assassinated.

.@brianschatz today on the Senate floor w some heat:

"There were Democrats, people who consider themselves Democratic strategists, who said out loud that Democrats were walking into a trap because USAID doesn't poll well. I don't care if it polls well. I am not here to have a pollster tell me that I shouldn't care that kids are getting malaria. I am not here to get talked out of the United States being the good guys, because health care polls higher, because the cost of gasoline pulls higher. I'm not deciding what to put into a 30-second spot. I'm deciding how to use the power given to me by the people of the state of Hawai‘i. And I think they care about whether people die unnecessarily because of the stupidity of this Congress.

Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout

Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them.

After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more."

A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!"

Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close.

Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:

ICE chased a man who was legally in the USA into a road where he was killed. The evidence for racial profiling is just overwhelming. This is a conspiracy against the Constitution.

Mamdani: In a win for every ice cream lover across New York City, we will work with the state to do away with the frozen dessert permit that requires restaurants to seek out a superfluous second permit for what they’re already doing: serving food.

No more treat-sploitation, as we say.

Right now, barbershops need three licenses to cut hair: one to be a barber, one to own the shop, and one from the city on top of both.

The state of affairs is frankly anti-fade, and we will not stand for it, which is why we will work with the state to streamline these licenses as well.

And to the bingo enthusiasts out there, for too long, the potential earnings of a hot streak at bingo have been capped by arcane rules that no longer reflect how the game is actually being played.

With OPEN, DCWP will remove unnecessary regulations, including prize limits.

These are just a few of the improvements we are proud to announce today as we make it clear we are in the pocket of Big Abuela.

"A principle I try to live by in life and in politics is to assume well of other people, and to show grace when they ask for it.

Even if it’s possible they will make me regret it. And I’m ok taking that risk, because I need to believe that people can change. It would be hard for me to be in this line of work if I didn’t." 🫶
